At least the wind has died down. Mid 60's here and sunny. Mid 70's and sunny tomorrow. I should be able to get the boat in the water tomorrow. This reminds me of a Spring about two/three years ago. Nasty rotten New England late fall weather right up until July. |

Although the yard staff were busy launching, the vast majority of the boats were still snug on their cradles. This long weekend (Victoria Day) is supposed to be the official start of boating season around here. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44258 |

I always got it done and splashed before Mother's Day. Now that we have a smaller boat getting the boat done and in the water is not as important, although I will get it in earlier next year as we will have no house remodeling project as we have had over the past months. As of last weekend, most boats at my marina were still on the hard. |

Nice to not have to worry about the wind blowing them down the street as I removed them. New solar panel time. Just curious, how many years did you get out of the old ones? What's the reason for the new ones? Solar power has never made much of an inroad around here (NJ). I always assumed our cloud cover was to blame. The few panels I see here, look to be for domestic hot water heat. I can't say I've ever seen any for pool heating, except for those floating pool cover things. |

I always assumed our cloud cover was to blame. The few panels I see here, look to be for domestic hot water heat. I can't say I've ever seen any for pool heating, except for those floating pool cover things. These were Fafco panels and we were trying to remember when we got them. Been at least 20 years. The new ones are warranted for 5 years. The sun finally go to them, that if you tried to plug a bad tube, the tube just split. they work well, NJ, may not need them as it stays hot day and night during the summer months from what I have experienced when I visited that state. The neighbors panels lasted about 12 years, but since he pays someone to do repairs, may have been cheaper to replace. Got the new panels from Leslie pool supply and were on sale for $219 each. They say 3 is enough, but is only 240sq ' and the Fafco was 320'. I'm leaving 4 Fafco panels that do not leak connected to the system. |
