WINTER BLUES






Winter just keeps on coming, making us wait patiently till she thaws. While out and about today we did a drive by just to check on the ice we are renting for the winter and it looks like a solid investment. Laid up and covered Vagabond looks much better this year with her reinforced cover not a slump or sag to be seen. We are planning a trip to Island City Marina, Sabula, Ia. this coming or the following week to check on Aqua Villa's storage condition. During this visit I'll be measuring the microwave cabinet for an upgrade to a convection style unit in the spring. Ah spring....... There will be a lot going on with the Aqua Villa in a few months time as she is slated to get her bottom stripped and new anti-foul applied and brand new canvas to keep her topside looking good. With the old davit removed and faux teak installed on her swim platform along with a new Hurley rib load and launch system we'll be ready for the summer sun. Right now the ice in the slip is about 24 inches and getting thicker I'm sure.
