A NEW END TO SEASON

Fall has come and it's time to end the sailing season here on Long Island. I'm trying something different this season. I am taking the sail off and lowering the boom while the boat is on the mooring instead of at the dock. This allows me to do the tasks at my leisure and in the best weather conditions. Starting with the sail and got it off just in time as a Nor Easter is expected to hit the Island this week.

 

 

Only negative was the sailbag was too large to store in the cabin. To help keep the sail dry I wrapped it up in a tarp. Once the storm has passed I'll head back out to drop the boom to the deck.
