Episode 5 - Boat Visit - March 2021

Any chance to visit the boat is a good one! I drove to the marina and took a look around over a couple of days. I wanted to find the best place to mount my tablet holder (we don't have a chartplotter yet, so it's a tablet with Navionics!) and our new VHF Radio (it has built-in GPS so that's handy). This also seemed like a good time to check the chain locker, since it's cold and the chances of getting swarmed by wasps is greatly reduced in winter (There were nests there in the summer). Clearly, this is an area of the boat that needs to be cleaned out while we pay out all the rode to check the condition of the links and connections. And at the end of the day, I do enjoy any time aboard! I cite @Cruising Off Duty in this video, and their episode "Trapped in Toronto" (getting the anchor stuck off the Toronto Islands) definitely had our attention...and got us seriously thinking about a set of bolt cutters as essential equipment!
