May 13 - boat check

Tuesday, May 13, 2025
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

Quick tour out to check the sort of goofy way I had rigged a mooring bridal before an out-of-town trip, 4-5 days away.  Owning a boat is like having a cat.  It can be okay for awhile but you have to make sure things are tidy and set up properly to keep the beast happy while away.

Put that boat out on a mooring and it's like a needy cat that has extreme separation anxiety.

A nasty strorm went thru while we were away (read: tornado in Canton, a mere 20 miles north) but the boat seemed fine. It's great to have a harbor camera 24/7 to see the status of a boat that's on a mooring!
