The Godspeed, 2

The phone and utility workers were there in cherry-picker trucks to hoist the utility lines out of the way (first photo, on left). The first set of power lines, at the top of the hill in the first photo in the post above, were tied up…the high stern end of the boat barely cleared! The other lines, the guys literally held up with their hands so the boat could roll underneath (look at the guys in the stern in the second photo). It was fun to see all the folks out with their cameras. Best of all, the History Channel was there filming! Little ol’ Rockport Harbor’s gonna be on TV!

At the end of the small bridge over the creek that flows into Rockport Harbor, there is a rampway / road down to the Marina. Getting that big ship down that narrow roadway might have been the trickiest thing they did today! The next post has the final photos of getting the ship down, plus some really cool shots of the tackle and the masts (which were “garaged” in the parking area, presumably for installation this coming week).
