Gato Loco runs aground in Puerto Penasco

Hola to all our Baja Amigos. Lets hope we never have to report running aground for real !!

Gato Loco had an appointment with the Penasco travel lift today to put her on the hard for new bottom paint. The work is being done at Antonio Bellot’s boat yard just 100 meters from our home slip at Marina Penasco. I’ve personally never seen her out of the water even though she’s been hauled twice in San Carlos. The travel lift that hauls 200′ fishing boats gobbled up Gato Loco without much effort. That is one awesome machine.

Like picking up a piece of stirofoam out of the water.

I could hardly walk as slow as the lift was moving keeping Gato Loco stable in the strap slang.

Our final resting place on block and jack stands fore & aft on the hulls. Ready for pressure washing, but no, it’s lunch time.
