Still High and Dry

Nice weekend here with temperatures making it into the 70's F. LOt's of action in the yard as this was one of the first warm weekends. I managed to the get the bottom painted with VC17 and about half the hull waxed. Launch is still a few weeks away, but I got a lot accomplished this weekend.

The Cover Comes Off - April 13th

We got down to business on Sunday and took the cover off VICTURA. It was a long and cold winter, so it was nice to get going on the boat. Sunday was a windy and cool day, but sun was high in the sky and it was actually warm under the cover on the boat. The club yard was still pretty wet under foot, but all the snow is now gone and things are picking up. My friend Stuart came down and gave me a hand getting the cover and frame off. Next week hopefully, I'll have a chance to clean the boat hull and start working on the bottom. I'll hopefully have time to give her a good coat of wax before launch on MAy 10th.

Spring has sprung

Spring has finally sprung here, as temperatures have finally shot up over freezing. We hit almost 60F here today, and the snow and ice are pretty well gone. It was a long cold winter, and there was some ice damage. The pic below is of the docks at Port Credit Harbour Marina. It seems the docks didn't fare too well in the ice. Fortunately at our yacht club, things are looking much better with very little damage.
