How about we survey what exactly everyone is doing sailboat-wise during these colder months. My sailboat is in the water year-round. Oftentimes, there turns out to be some decent days mid-winter and so I sometimes would go out sailing. Though, it seems as I get older, I do not go out as often as I use to during the winter months, Years ago, when temps got into the 40s and sunny, I would go out sailing...averaging about once every 2 weeks, unless a deep freeze formed ice in the river. These days, I may not go out unless temps rise into the 50s ...and there are plenty of days, I just pass up going sailing - Perhaps going out once every 3-5 weeks.... or so. However, I do get down to my boat every 2 weeks to check it out (dock lines, etc) and start the outboard, running it for about 10 minutes. A few weeks ago, I replaced a VBerth overhead light fixture since the old one , the outer lens cracked into pieces. (Last year, I had replaced the other VBerth light fixture.) This winter, no big plans, just light maintenance. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
