Early Splash

March 25, 2016

We are back in our slip for the summer. Much earlier than usual, but circumstances dictate the schedule. Hap Miller our always dependable mechanic quickly has her ready and we move back aboard once the temperatures moderate a little and snow remnants melt. All systems are a go and we take a brief cruise around Warwick Cove to limber her after sitting all winter. We'll be hauled out mid-summer to recheck zincs, bottom paint and wax-polish the hull. We know better than to discuss plans for the summer, much less the fall. "Boater's plans are written in Jell-O and the water isn't even boiling yet." Here we are at our slip before our neighbors have launched.
