April 29, 2008


It has been awhile since my last post and the time has been spent waiting for good weather to get the B'haven ready for launch. The weather has been our typical Wisconsin weather, upper 70's one day and then back into the 30's the next. In spite of this, I have been able to get the boat ready. The hull is waxed; the bottom has a new coat of VC-17; and the topsides have been cleaned of the winter grime from being on the hard. We rigged the sails on Sunday and set the dodger to keep the cold winds away and are ready for May 1st. That glorious day when we technically enter into another boating season and launch the B'haven. Of course, being in the water does not necessarily mean boating season has begun, especially for any of you that have or currently live in the great state of Wisconsin. It is only a hint of what is to come.....
