  • Last Sail of 2010

    Posted on September 30th, 2010 cwmoore No comments

    We took our last sail of this year yesterday.  Winds 13-15kt from the SW and 1 -2′ seas under bright sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-60’s.  In other words – perfect.  On return to port we removed the sails and stored them below because they were dry and the temperatures and winds were conducive to that type of work.  The boat looks sort of bare and forlorn without the sails.  This weekend it is supposed to be in the mid-30’s and widespread frost prevails.  Our little heater should be able to keep up with those temperatures OK.

    Back at the PL house we are having a new 4″ well installed by Rick Boyer because of recurrent problems with a cycling pump turn o then off then on.  The well is over 40 years old and needs to be replaced.  Hopefully the new one lasts that long too but then again I will not be around to see that.
