I am always a bit anxious about getting the boat set up for the season. Things have to be done before season start. Although the boat is covered with tarps, there is always a potential that water will get into the boat. Frozen water is not good. Can I find everything from storage? A great relief to find things were good and the boat was ready for mast step.
The forecast for the past week called for rain. Sunday looked like the best weather. It ended up being sunny but very windy. The breezy conditions kept other fair weather crews away from the masting crane. Bonus! We watched the gusts as they crossed the basin and acted during a break in the breeze.
Wesley has decided not to rejoin the crew. He says that work commitments are too much. It is disappointing but understandable that he can’t rejoin, maybe he can be available later. Kevin and Nick are back. They helped with masting. Very happy to have them back as I greatly enjoyed sailing with them last year.
I took the motor into the dealer last weekend to get serviced and the fuel connector replaced. I was told that it should be available next weekend. Still more to do but off to a good start.
