Minor Boat Preparations

Categories Maintenance Log

I suppose that by some standard, boat preparations for the season have begun. Although in that regard, my standards are pretty low.

A Stitch in Time

Categories Maintenance Log

After an entire season (is it even still a season?) of getting to the shore late, I finally got up at a reasonable time, made good speed toward the shore, and…was still completely rushed. About a week out from the winter solstice, the days are suspiciously short.

Night Tape

Categories Maintenance Log

Categories Maintenance Log

Even with the late start to the sailing season, I got my spring maintenance tasks in while it was still technically spring. Very late spring.

Kind of Blue

Categories Maintenance Log

My avid reader(s) may recall that I also have a boat.

Fortuitous definitely still exists. I took a year off of writing boat logs in 2018 and then a year off of sailing in 2019, but like a turd of uncanny buoyancy, surprise: I’m back.

2017: The Season in Review

Categories Maintenance Log

Part of me wants to only recognize two seasons: winter and sailing. Leave the rest to the landlubbers and poets.
