Summer plans

We prepared to head out to Latitudes to de-winterize her, do a bit of maintenance, put her back in the water, and go to a marina in the Chesapeake for the summer.  Nope.  Instead, we checked for winter mold over the past 7 months (none!!!!!), cleaned out about 50 pounds of bird nest material in the anchor well (I exaggerate only a little....damned starlings...) and prepared her with desiccants, water absorbing materials, and a dehumidifier for the summer.

Luke needs  maintenance instead.  He will have his second rotator cuff  surgical repair (different arm) this month.  Recovery is about 6 months, with the first 3 months of very limited mobility of the arm.

I believe that Father Time and years of handling a 42 ft sailboot take their toll our bodies.  The plan now is to repair and recover during the summer, head south again this winter in the RV, and then go a-sailing again in spring 20.
