Last Outing 2018

[Midnightsun]

Unfortunately the weather is starting to turn as the winter sets in slowly. This weekend was great, warm temps and little wind. Many boats at the marina have already disappeared for the season. The islands and waters were boat free with the exception of boats moving down to their winterization destination.

This was our last weekend on the boat as Monday we brought everything back with us. I just need to do my oil changes and bring her to my winter storage area which is about a 2hr run from home port.

Pictures were taken Sunday, weather was nice enough to be in swim wear, no wind.

Sad time of year for sure but it's great boating at this time IMO. I like watching the leaves turn, no traffic, deserted peaceful anchorages, calm waters, and the temps are comfortable, not too hot, not too cold.

As much as I enjoy boating I am pretty sure I would get bored if I did it year round. Just like the seasons, I need some change. When spring comes I am like a kid at Christmas when prepping the boat for launch.

The end is definitely near. Nice pictures. Looks like you had a great time. I plan to pull the 1st week in November. Could go earlier if the weather turns colder sooner.

Hans your boat looks great! I second your opinion regarding a 6 month season. (mid April to mid October for me)
I did sleep out last night and it was great. Trying to get as much time in as possible!
