and if you wonder about the laundry hanging off the starboard side

We sure picked a nice day to launch SV Winsome II. High of 4C, NW24, and rain/wet snow. But it's done.



As you can tell, we like to hang our laundry out over the toe rail, especially in the rain. Mind you, at moments like these they also protect the beautifully waxed hulls against the dirt of the slings used to launch her.

Tim is up there, heater going, re-locating batteries and other jobs that require that the boat is in a state of mayhem, and once temperatures are nicer again, he will put on the davits. Max and I are here at home, and hopefully the weather will be okay this weekend and we can all be up there.
