Winterizing son of Yo Ho this weekend, or early next week.

I was hoping for another couple of days of warm weather before the middle
of November, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen.

Right now, it is in the low 40's, with an 18-knot northerly wind. Water
temp has dropped to the mid-50's.

Summer in Seattle weather, maybe, but not the sort of weather in which I
enjoy open boat boating.

Meanwhile, my retired friend who lives in Costa Rica sent me a couple of
ads for islands for sale right off the coast of Nicaragua. $350,000
American for a three acre island with a house with diesel generator,
globalstar sat phone, a caretaker house, a concrete pier, white sand
beach, and "owner financing."

I wonder how often the island is under water during storms? The house is
40' above sea level.

:} Be fun to raise the old Jolly Roger there.


Take your time wondering. Meanwhile, please forward the ad to me asap.
