My dink today, and putting on the Mercury. Since it's

now
getting
cooler and we will be sailing RedCloud more, every

fall we
remove the
mast off the dink and put the Merc aboard.

The problem with the mast is you can not get up river

under the bridges
to get to the wild life preserves. Makes for a faster

trip
to and from
shore when we explore the bays and Gulf.

I like fall, but will miss being able to just jump in

the
dink and
sail on a whim, good thing is exploring all the bayous

streams and
places impossiable to explore by sail.

What do you do to get ready for the winter sailing

season?


cut, split and stack firewood. Clean the chimneys.


I bet Rob wishes he had a fireplace in his small NY flat.

How many fireplaces do you have Scotty?


two wood stoves, one up, one down.


Do you have a fireplace in your master bedroom?



No, it gets hot enough in there.
