December in Charlotte, Vermont


December 5, 2011: Point Bay Marina, Charlotte, Vermont

We are out of the rapidly cooling waters of Lake Champlain and ready to be shrink-wrapped. I've taken measurements for a few winter projects.

The head is now restored to its original installation but with upgrades to an electric toilet with solenoid vented loop. All of the teak has been cleaned and varnished. A mast cover is ready to be installed as well. The v-berth was changed over to a double last Spring. Now we are adding a small seat and desk on the starboard side. The port pilot berth will lose its refrigerator and gain some needed storage drawers. The kitchen space is getting a new counter-top and a new location for the refrigerator beneath it. Doing finish carpentry on a boat is measure 4 times and cut once. Nothing is ever square and it is always a challenge to determine what level is. Marc
