END OF THE SEASON 2017


I had BIANKA pulled and stored in the boatyard for the winter last week. It was time there was a near brush with Hurricane Jose which came up the coast. It's also the time of the year when Nor'easters start forming making for cold, wet windy weather. I was triggered a few weeks ago while sitting in the cockpit noticing how early the sun was going down and also how cold it was while wearing my wool watch cap. It warmed up a little since then but, nature keeps sending it's reminders that it is time to end the sailing season:


Next week the remnants of Hurricane Nate will be impacting the area. Though it should only bring a heavy rain to the area. It is just another sign that it's time to pull the boat for the winter

Always tinged with a little sadness.
Spring'll come around soon!

Yes Bill but, the chilly nights and weather patterns start to curtail things pretty quickly this time of year. Plus winter projects can keep one busy onboard. I've got several planned.

I'd like to build this over the winter, but
might not get to it. It'd be cool though.
