Default Put the nauti buoy to bed today

well after a dusting of snow last weekend and temps in the single ### s
I figured it's time for that long winters nap . I had been working with the MOHEGAN SUN CASINO deal here in PALMER but we lost so I grabed some of the 4x8 signs & some 2x4's and 2x3;s built a frame , cut and screwed the signs to the frame, then coverd her with a 20x30 tarp and WALLA snug as a bug in a rug , she will stay dry all winter no matter how much snow we get !! I cant wait till spring

Ohhhhh...
My wife would love to move to the west coast of FL.
She has a job lined up for herself and everything.

Now I just need to find a job and move the boats to FL or slime down the fleet before moving.


NOTE....would love to have a backyard that didn't have firewood piled up.

Looks like we are getting away with only rain and wind with this storm.
I'm still trying to get a good day to get the Whaler out of the garage and covered so my wife can have her spot back for her car. She's not crazy about scraping windows early in the AM.

I covered my boat yesterday....just before this wind and rain....I used destroyers idea of the oval 15 x24 pool cover.....works out nice however I wished I had bought the next size larger. I put two main supports, one just ahead of splash well, the other right at the cuddy door and then one at the bow. Then a 24ft. Ridge down the middle.....the ridge is approx 5ft. Above The deck so it has a nice steep pitch to shed snow. I suppose the height of the ridge is making me wish I got the next size larger. The 15ft. Width is fine but it's a touch short on the 24 ft length. It does cover the bow and the motor but I could use a little more length....it will be fine. In addition....it's a nice cover, better than any tarp. Nice tip destroyer.
