I, as has every other person with a boat in the water up in the Chesapeake area, have been watching the weather closely - seeing if the groundhog was right and we are going to have an early spring.... well, for the next week - except for the weekend, we are supposed to have some nice warm weather - temps up in the 50's and 60's - and I will sail in that kind of weather! So on February 20 & 21, I went to work, hanking on the sails, running all the lines, putting on the canvas, taking up extra lines set for winter, attaching the jacklines, and just making sure that she was ready for her first sail of the year. Took the better part of two days at the marina, but she is ready to go - and hopefully her first sail of the season will be on February 22nd!
