GL: winter storage

[fred]

I'm happy to report that Tug 44 is now sitting high and dry on land, up on
blocks for the winter.

Thank you to all of you who emailed me about the mud
berth idea ... I got a couple of dozen private emails ... some encouraging and
some scarey.  I think the one that did it for me was the one that mentioned
how plants at nurseries have been known to get pushed out of the frozen ground
and toppled by the frost!  No, I sure didn't like the sound of that!

The
marina had to go thru some hoops to get the boat out, they brought in a
special horseshoe trailer to do the job and all went well.

Only problem now
... I look out my office window at my dock, and there's no boat there!!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Best wishes to all,

Fred
