So this is Christmas. . .
It's Christmas Day as I write this. Outside snow hides in little nooks and shaded corners, but the grass is still green. I haven't worked on the boat this month, but it was a warm fall. Boatwork was possible deep into November. I finally covered her up the weekend after Thanksgiving.
I'm looking forward to a good Winter refilling the boat fund. There are some design and outfitting choices to make; perhaps some stainless steel parts to order. As soon as the snow melts in the Spring, I'll be back doing some interior work and waiting for the Sun.
The big projects for Spring/Summer are finishing off the space where I removed the pilot berth, replacing the chainplates, re-installing the seacocks, and replacing the two large aft ports on each side of the cabin.
