Jody and decided to take Arthur out for a shake down cruise out of Olympia today. Unfortunately, on our way to Oly, one of the wheels had the studs shear off and we lost a wheel. Needless to say, we didn't make it onto the water. But we did see a really neat low boy trailer haul our boat off.

That was sure a close call. Glad it didn't do more damage.

Karl-
Good to know you and Jody ( and Arthur) made it safely. Suspect the wallet didn't do as well ( hopefully insurance covered that huge gooseneck "rental").
All worth the effort to get that beautiful boat to water, hope that happens soon ! Notice a nice Skagit burgee on the bow !
