THE BIRD IS TUCKED AWAY

We have completed the final step in putting the Thunderbird away for the winter.   Today we went out to RMYC, where the boats in the water are getting as scarce as the leaves left on the trees. 
 
 
We have hung onto the huge haystack tarp that we purchased back in the days when we first started our refit and had Thunderbird, beside the house, in our yard on Henderson highway.  It was an expensive purchase at the time, but we kept it and now it is coming back into service again. 
 
 
The winterizing is all done, so now it is time to tarp her down.    We were not well prepared for this job and had to use a lot of ropes this time, but now we know what we need we will be prepared with a lot of bungees next year. 
 
 
 So, she's all snuggled in for the winter.  Now we can turn our attention to our journey South. 
 
 
PARADISE PARK HERE WE COME.
