The summer has had it's last gasp. Last weekend was probably the best we'll see. This week the lows will hit 33, so it's time to wrap it up. Eric is running across the room, and Emily is not that far behind. I think her first free steps are just a few days away. Hopefully next year we'll get to enjoy the boat more because this year was a write off. We did use the boat a little, a few sailing days, on day to Connetquot River in Oakdale, a couple of sun tanning days by the Moses bridge, but we really didn't use the boat too much. I don't think we used the dinghy even once. But with good reasons. I love these kids. They are worth it.

Unwrapped the boat today. Cleaned her up a little and raised the mainsail so I could drain the water from the sail pack. Next week I'' change the fluids and check zinc. Might be able to sail in Mid April.

We had near hurricane force winds here on Long Island this past weekend. A large sailboat in our lagoon broke free and sailed itself across the lagoon before getting pinned against a neighbors bulkhead. next year, I'll take the boat out for the winter.
We lost power for 2 days. It was really tough with the kids, but I guess having the boat inthe rear yard was good because I was able to grab the little Honda generator to power some small stuff in the house.
Later this week, spring returns with temps between 55 and 60 :-)
