Upon arriving in Marathon, I noticed that there was a crack in the fiberglass next to the electric windlass on the anchor pulpit. This was not just the spider vein surface type of crack that occurs with age in fiberglass boats, but an honest to goodness crack that I could insert my fingernail into. So Mark called Jay at Bay Breeze Yacht Sales in Traverse City, Michigan where we purchased the boat to see what we should do about this bodily injury to the Lolligag. Jay’s response was immediate and most comforting. He said that we should take the boat to a boat yard of our choice, have the injury fixed, have the boat yard bill Bay Breeze and that he would take care of the necessary Nordic Tug warranty paperwork. What could be easier?
Upon our return from Key West, we took the boat over to the Marathon Boat Yard. From the moment we called to make arrangements to the moment we left the yard, we were taken with the professional manner in which we were treated at the Marathon Boat Yard.
They were still quite busy even though it is the beginning of the off season and therefore it was necessary for us to raft off another boat during our stay in their marina.
This was totally fine with us because while the repair was being done, we had electricity and water which was most refreshing after having been on the mooring ball for ten days.
The job was completed very much to our satisfaction and the anchor pulpit area looks as good as new. We would very much recommend the Marathon Boat Yard as an upstanding and and outstanding facility. It is our plan to return to Marathon in December and will most likely have the boat pulled and maintained here at that time.
