40' Trawler missing in North Phoenix

Have you noticed?? The Frayed Knot is no longer residing in North Phoenix, as neighbors gathered coffee in hand while others peered out windows Mike Waits along with his crew hoisted the Frayed Knot up into the air and onto the 52' boat hauler from Hales Marine, while Ed the driver worked feverishly to make it all fit on 1 vehicle. NO Luck, the fly bridge was loaded onto Mike's Dad's trailer so Paul could hook up to the GMC and make that run to San Diego. Thanks to the members of the United States Power Squadron for their much needed assistance, our Commander showed why he has the title he does-no dinghy cover is going to get the best of him. Between Bill, Terry Gray, Connie and Cat the dink was ready for transport. The main stays who dedicated 1 day a week for the past few months were there to help out also; Chuck Juno and Joe Santella made sure they got the snapshots that show the painstaking work which has gone into this project. There were some hairy moments especially when the front end lifted and the back didn't or when the wind kicked up and she was just swaying in the breeze...but after 1/2 a day on sheer intensity they did it. The Frayed Knot was loaded and ready to head out for San Diego within the next couple of days.
