In the boat house is a winch. When the Thacher Island boat comes in, it touches onto the dock and then a rope is attached from the winch to the boat. The winch pulls the boat out of the water up onto the dock. Today was the arrival of a new winch. It's a much bigger winch and has a lot more power. Look at the photos. It just goes to show you that even big boys like bigger toys. It was quite a feat figuring out how to get the new winch into the boat house.

| The boat is pulled up using the old winch. |
 |
| And now all the boys gather to 'play'. |
 |
| Lots of collaborating. |
 |
| Here we go. |
 |
| And now the old winch is used to pull the new winch. |
 |
| Made it to the boat house. |
 |
| Isn't she a beaut? |
 |
| Pull that thing into position. Who needs the gym? |
 |
| But now, the old winch has to go. It will go to Straightsmouth eventually. |
 |
| Boys and toys. |
 |
| Pull! |
 |
| Push! |
 |
| Pull! |
 |
| Push! |
 |
| Push and pull! |
