Brown's Boatyard Blog

Finally, it’s starting to feel like spring here in Guilford; a mild winter gave way to an unseasonably cold spring but it finally feels like it’s time to get the boats back in the water. Many of our customers hire us to provide seasonal service so we’re busy prepping boats and providing re-commissioning services. It’s a very important part of the boating process – a misstep in the re-commissioning process can make for an expensive and inconvenient repair down the road. We know that many boaters ready their vessels on their own so we thought we’d share a bit of our expertise on the subject.
Hello there. Well, the West River is no longer frozen, the Ospreys are back and it’s got all of us here at Brown’s Boat Yard very excited and working hard to get the marina and your boats ready for the upcoming boating season.

It’s Friday afternoon at 3 and two more projects just landed on your desk with the hope (read demand!) that they be finished before the weekend. Your expected arrival time at the marina has just shifted to 30 minutes before sunset and any hope for a sunset cruise has been dashed by the sudden realization that you’ve got about 90 minutes worth of boat chores before you can leave the marina.
