Signs of Spring

I went over to the marina this weekend to visit the boat and begin the process of recommissioning for the season. It was a sunny day, in the 60s, with winds from the West at about 20 knots. It felt good to be on deck.

I re-installed the compass, and polished the binnacle and the wheel. Then I moved on to add some coolant to the engine and generator, opened the seawater intakes, and started them up. They both sprang to life immediately, awakening from their winter slumber.
