Meridian Hauled Out On Marine Railways

We went down to the Marine Railways on Rocky Neck for a look around in the calm before the expected storm and found it to be quite busy down there. It appeared our beloved schooner Adventure was preparing to leave the railways while the Meridian was getting work done. Thanks for the tip Liza! It’s ALWAYS interesting to see what’s happening there.
