Final weekend before hauling the boat for the winter....... was a bust : (

No sailing this weekend.

 

Saturday and Sunday both had lots of rain and even some thunder.

 

Sunday afternoon my brother and I brought the boat from the marina over to the boat yard in the rain.  There were tornado warnings in the county just south of the marina.  We didn’t experience anything other than rain for most of the trip and the rain stopped as we got close to the boat yard.

 

When we arrived at the yard, we kept the engine running to keep it hot. 

 

We closed the seacock for the engine cooling water and poured antifreeze into the water filter for the engine to get that step of the winterization process complete. 

 

We were also able to take the mainsail off the mast and stow it before the rain started back up.

 

The boat is scheduled to be hauled early this coming week.
