This is the time of year, as a sailor ,I dont like. Friday I repacked all
the sails and stored them .Saturday , bought a large tarp and bungees.
Today, I plan on packing the boat , putting on the tarp and parking it
in
the back of the lot till the end of February when we start all over .

I used to take my boat out of the water for the winter. However, a few
years ago I discovered the joys of winter sailing.

I only get a couple of days on the water in winter, but they tend to be
better than the best summer days. Winter brings empty seas and almost
infinite visibility ...

There is nothing like a crisp February day on an empty sea.
