NOW IT'S TIME TO GET THE BOAT READY FOR LAUNCH


Today we went out to RMYC and took the tarp off of the boat, Finally.   
 
 
 
This is the first time we have ever stored the boat outside for the winter, and I hear this winter was a doozey, so it's time to see how well we did and how she fared.  Everything we did to winterize it now has to be undone. 
 
 
 
 The boatyard is a pretty busy place right now,
 
 
 
with everyone anxious to get their boats in the water and get the season started. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's time to start making my todo lists.   Other than engine stuff, that I have nothing to do with, there is a lot of cleaning to do.  Then the hull needs to be scraped and painted and there is a damaged area on the starboard rub rail that needs to be replaced.  Hopefully we will be able to get this all done in a short time because I am anxious to get the boat in the water and get my summer started. 
 
 
Right now my boat is a disaster, but most of this can not be put in order until all of the work is finished. 
 
 
 
SO NOW IT'S TIME TO GET AT IT
