SPRING PREPARATION 2025

Follow our journey of pre-season boat preparation from winter storage to launch day. Sometimes it raises the question of whether the time and effort are worth the result. At least for now, the answer is definitely "yes". It can at times be challenging. It can be maddingly frustrating. But it can also be satisfying bringing a sense of accomplishment. Thanks for watching. This video is not the most entertaining. But we hope it gives an accurate picture of what is involved in boat ownership. It is more than just fun in the sun. There is also work that needs to be done to get the boat ready and in full working order for those beautiful summer days. Despite an occasional complaint, I do enjoy, and look forward to, working on the boat in the Spring. It brings a sense of accomplishment along with building the excitement for the upcoming season. We have added a Raymarine AIS 700 along with its associated antenna and related equipment to the Raymarine Axiom Chartplotter that we added last year. We've done some lingering deck repairs along with finishing the teak varnishing projects we started last season. We are off to a good start in 2025. Thank you for watching.
