Anchoring is easy again
Finally, after about 2 years, I made repairs to our windlass, allowing us to set and pull the anchor by pressing a switch instead of having to lower and raise the anchor by hand! After our trip to Pittsburgh, two weeks ago, I decided to make it a priority to get it working again. I removed the complete assemby and motor - repaired the shaft and bushings and had the motor repaired. I spent 2 hours installing it. Out on the water for the testing, and it worked great! No more dirty hands or sore back!

Pittsburgh Ragatta Weekend 2010
We decided to head to Pittsburgh for the Ragatta and fireworks on the 4th of July. We made the trip with Maria's Sister, Kathy and Will. We left on Saturday morning and headed down the river. We stopped to see my brother Jeff and his family at Fox Chapel. Afterwards we got to the point in time to see the motorcross riders doing stunts. we ventured down to The Rivers Casino outdoor amplitheater to see the Beatles tribute band, GetBack. They put on a fantastic show.
