winterizing

well life on a 30 ft. gets real cozy when you are taking her apart for the winter ... we had a few movies we wanted to watch .. so movie night again with pop corn ... life is better on the water !!
we biked to the storage unit, to change our boat stuff from unheated to heated units .. it's cold in NB.  in the winter
maybe 30 cart load moved off the boat .. the water line kept getting higher and higher
moving 2 carts at a time
we are sharing a unit with "Genevieve" Moira and John Coull, from Picton, ..... MODAKI on the right
pot luck with Moira and John and friends
Mary Lou, carrying the boom, and always doing all the work, and Dave following behind to pick up the pieces .. just kidding Dave !!!
our walk to Parlee Beach Prov. Park, right next to yacht club
red right returning
lots of interesting features in this house, walk way to roof, bouys as fence posts
this place was fantastic, look at bouys, red right returning !!!
window box boat
famous Parlee Beach
the water was warmer than Sauble Beach ..
we had hoped to return the following day for a swim, but did not happen
pizza night ... anchovies too
our friend Maurice and his son 2 1/2  year old, Maxime
Maxime reminded me so much of Wyatt Baker, back home ... this young French lad knows more French than me
Maxime is a sailor in the making, he loved to handle the tiller and got to stop the motor too.
Walter, the Yacht Club manager said we would use wood from the old docks, for our mast supports, they also lent us the tools to get the job done
skipper cutting the boards to fit
this was a windy day, blowing 20 - 25 knots, and friends together, took instruments off about 4 boats in a morning
another trip to the storage unit, GENEVIEVE on the left, and  MODAKI on the right
