Winter Over as Spring Has Sprung

It is getting harder to accept the fact that life is racing on.  We did a whole lot of planning and playing for this winter's stay in sunny Florida only to have it end too quickly.  Riverwood Plantation was as good as advertised and we truly had a wonderful time reuniting with old friends and making new ones.  We look forward to returning for the winter in 2014.

Before arriving home, we stopped on our way north at the boat yard and yacht club on the Chesapeake Bay.  It appeared that the winter wasn't too cruel on our Albin 36 as it survived quite nicely.  Over the winter she had all seacocks and thru hulls changed to provide for safer boating.  Bob and friends Jimmy, Larry and Bruce completed during April's first week the repair of the swim platform brackets, the sanding and painting of the boat bottom and some initial varnishing of teak rub rails.

After we write this blog we are headed back to the Bay and Crescent Yacht Club for "slip selection day".  Her's hoping we get a slip of choice.

Let the boating begin.
