We are changing the location for Thunderbird's winter storage. We are going to cruise on into the city and store our boat at The Royal Manitoba Yacht Club.
Lake Agassiz Marine indoor storage in the old aircraft hangars has been a perfect winter storage for us in the last 10 years of working on our boat. We have spent many hundreds of winter hours in those hangars, out of the weather and able to complete many large boat projects.
But, now 10 years later we are down to a few lesser projects, most of them exterior jobs (painting etc.) that can be completed outdoors in the spring. We now also have a dog, that can't be in the hangar or left at home for a weekend.
In the last 4 years we have also spent 3 of the winter months in Texas and only work on the boat for a short time in the fall and for a month, when we get back in the spring. Which doesn't justify storage in a heated work facility for the whole winter. Now this year we are leaving for Texas in November and will be gone even longer.
We have come to the decision that outdoor storage will suffice for the few things we have to do each spring and RMYC is only 20 minutes from home so we can go home each night and not have to spend the weekend. So this will work better for us and our dog.
THIS WILL BE A BIG CHANGE FOR US
