  • The annual flaking of sails

  • The pink stuff

Over three October days, we winterized Belle Bateau's fresh water systems with antifreeze, took down her three sails, removed all food stuffs and liquids, and motored the dinghy to shore for deflaction in preparation for on-land storage. Counting these as Days 7-9 of 10 allowed for boat maintenance.
