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.

It looks like you got about as much time on your engine as I did in the in
the last few weeks.






I thought you previously stated that all you did was stay at the dock on
your houseboat. Did you run the engine the whole time you were at the
dock?



It was not my houseboat. I did spend all the time on the dock. I did
not run my engine at all since Harry asked me how much time i will spend
on my boat, after I had the boat pulled. With the bad weather, I don't
think Harry had a chance to do any boating either.
