Winter Layover 2013

Point Bay Marina, Charlotte Vermont:  January 15, 2013

Lucy III under wraps !

Marc-  Lucy III is blocked up and wrapped up for the winter and surrounded by snow.  I searched for a door in the shrink wrap to get in, but none was to be found.  I will make an opening in the rear wrap once the weather improves to commence the Spring preparations.  The rebuilt centerboard is ready for installation as well as the re-powered Simrad autopilot.  Just two of many maintenance items for this haul-out season.  The sail repairs are also completed.  We will continue to  work on the sail cover repairs.  Some deck repair and paint work needs to be done and we need to install the new electric winch that will control the centerboard.  Some new electrical work will be done as well as a new fuel tank to extend our cruising range under power.






Burlington is beautiful in Winter and we have tried to stay busy outdoors.
