Spring has sprung - April 2010

Hard to believe, but spring has come early here in southern Ontario with temperatures on the weekend going well above 20c degrees. Wind coming off the lake kept the temperature in the yard cool, but go a mile or so in land and it was summer. My friend Stuart helped get the cover off Victura and work began in earnest on the weekend. The hull and bottom were wiped clean, and the bottom painted with a fresh coat of VC17. I even managed to get one coat of wax on the port side of the hull. The forecast this week calls for the balmy weather to continue until Wednesday when things will get back to more seasonal cool and wet weather. There's even a hint of snow in the forecast for Friday. It's been a great start for the season and has everyone in the mood for boating.
