It it like Robins in the spring time; only it is sad and depressing...

Don Casey's article for BoatUS just hit my email: <blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">But proper lay-up techniques can minimize the ill effects winter disuse will have on your boat. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

Egad, the first winter lay-up comments,

While down at the marina on Monday, a few boaters (power) were using the Holiday to pull their boats out of the water for the season.

Where did the time go?

time to tune the rigging on the Fleet 7 boats for bigger winds, seas, and whale watching trips.

Crane-out at our marina is one month from today.
Until then, we sail like desperadoes.

After Labor Day they all go away and don't come back till Memorial Day.
I don't care what the reason but its just in time for sailing season!
I'm sorry up north the season's so short but down here its time for us to leave port!



Sorry, got way too much time on my hands at work today.

I keep reading two contradicting opinions. On the one hand there's people that almost beg you to go inside and deal with four days worth of bridges between Norfolk and Beaufort, on the other hand there's people that have rounded the Cape ten times and say they only soiled their pants once......then there's the Hatteras Coast Guard Activities Group that calls themselves the "Guardians of the Graveyard".....hmmm it all sounds like a fun thing to do....

Layup, hell no! get the charts out, a sweater, and head South. November-ish....right now Florida is still a bit, shall we say, unsettled.
