Default NW freeze

A short comment about the cold. I went to my sailboat in Port Angeles late
yesterday. Outside temp was 40 f and had been all day. When I opened the
cabin, I was surprised to discover it was warmer inside then out. With a
digital thermometer, I found the temp was 44 f. Then I checked the water
temp outside and it was 47 f.
I guess the point is, if you have a sailboat, where tanks and engine sit
low in the hull, you probably don't need to worry about freezing anything.

Best time to visit the Pacific NW, IMO, is immediately after Labor Day.
Early September is usually much more warm and pleasant than June up
here, and most of the families with kids in school are off the water
after the first week.
