Well this is it, got an e-mail from my winter storage facility, they're setting up the haul out schedule. I'll be out on 10/10. We didn't miss a weekend, all were at least 3 days or more....where'd the summer go?:smt089

...where'd the summer go?:smt089
It's a great feeling to pull the boat on a nice October fall day. The gales of November are right around the corner, and we are usually enjoying a nice fire in the fireplace when they arrive. It's good to know the boat is clean, dry and warm when the rain is flying by sideways at 40 mph. We do other fun things when the boats get put away.I couldn't imaging not being able to use my boat for half a year :smt089
I beat all you guys. Mine went in the shed yesterday.
That crazy early Jeff, but hay, all good things have to end sometime. This summer was a great one, like Woody, we haven't missed a weekend until now. I'll will be at the Big House this Saturday watching Michigan crush UCF.....Go Blue!
We get hauled out 1st part of Oct., the boat needs a rest.
Spent 50 years in Central Florida...boy do I miss those scalding summer days with 90% humidity day and nite. Weeks of dead calm to cool you down, and hurricanes to break the monotony! I remember 4 in a row during a three month period in 2005. )I couldn't imaging not being able to use my boat for half a year :smt089

In the end, i couldnt boat, much less barely exist, outside for 4 months out of the year. Cant say I miss Florida boating. The mildew topside and bottom growth was also exponential compared to areas with seasons.
Gotta say the people are generally much friendlier though in your neck of the woods..and boat upkeep and dock space substantially cheaper. Oh ...and the water is warm enough to swim in year round...do miss that!
Every place has trade offs. I truly believe the coast of Maine is paradise on earth. Wouldnt trade the view for anything.
Over the winter, I plan to take the rub rail off the boat and completely reseal it, as I get rain water in the bilge. (fortunately no where else, but I figure I might as well do the entire boat.)
