We enjoyed dinner at the local Applebys and dessert at Geri Walker's home. Our guests of honor were Kay & Steve Harkins, sailors we've known for years.
Yes... it's time to take the cover off and start the process of re commissioning Jubilee. Sue has the laundry list of "to-do" items and we'll look to complete them as soon as we can.

Covering the boat Part IV
Don / sunny / but cold 36º

I don't know what else can be done here. I have the solar panel installed to keep the house batteries charged and I left the bilge pump on to pump out any unwanted water. If it snows hard I'll have to visit to see if there is too much snow in the cockpit (it gets very heavy), but since we are in a cradle, the weight is equally displaced and we won't need to worry about blowing over. Guess we're all done....See you when the weather changes!

Part III
Don / sunny / cold 38º
01/05/2012, DE City Marina

We have one cover on, but Pixie is starting to shake so Sue will take her to the car to warm up.... Gee it's cold up here! I'll never have the cover sewed for the boat this year. I guess if we aren't too busy I'll start on it for next year.

Wake up and start putting on the cabin cover...check; ask Sue to go to the car for more line to tie up the bow cover. Looks good; tighten it up and see if it needs more line.
