Spring has sprung!

It's been a long cold winter here with lots of snow, but spring has finally sprung. It was a beautiful day on Saturday, sunny with temperatures climbing to about 10c by mid-day. My friend Stuart joined me at the club and we pulled the cover off Victura, rolled up the canvas and took the frame apart. Everything went smoothly and it was a beautiful day to work on the boat. This is our 5th winter using the cover that I purchased from the Top Shop in Kingston. Both the frame and canvas has held up well and I recommend it to anyone considering buying a cover. With the price of shrink wrapping going up every year, it's a much better option.

Next weekend if the weather is clear and temperature warm enough, we move on to cleaning, waxing and painting the bottom. May 2nd we launch.
