Episode 59 - Winterizing our Catamaran

Winterizing our catamaran was not originally in our plans. We wanted to sail south and enjoy tropical weather, while being scantily clad, while swaying with the palm trees in the gentle breeze, while sipping girly drinks from the Monica Lounge and laughing at our frozen friends up north shivering their you know what off. It is amazing how karma can kick you in the ass sometimes. Not quite retired yet, we had no choice but to endure what we hope will be one more winter with "Moments in Time". Winterizing a large catamaran is not trivial so we filmed the process in the hopes that it will help someone else who could not escape south as well. We consulted the Farmer's Almanac which called for a mild winter (it was not!), so we decided to leave "Moments in Time" in the water and winterized in the slip. We ran environmentally safe antifreeze through our raw water systems, our AC system, our freshwater systems, our black water systems, our diesel engines, and through the bilges and pumps. We completed some final inspections and removed perishables. Toni threw some old sheets over the leather in the saloon and before you know it, "Moments in Time" was hibernating for the winter.
