    Talking Our Last Sail

    We also went sailing for a couple of hours this past Sunday. A beautiful, sunny, crisp fall day (the boat had frost on it), with wind around 15 knots. No other recreational boats to be seen on the water, only a freighter going up river. Had a nice beat up the river to Detour, MI, where we were lifted out on Monday! Now we have to go back to the boat and finish winterizing and covering the boat until next season.

    I'm looking forward to this weekend...the leaves are in full colour here in the Ottawa valley Canada...It has been a beautiful fall...cool is OK if the sun is out,the views are great and the wind is blowing.I know sailing here will end soon...we have frost the odd night...it usually snows in 2-3 weeks here. Back to Florida and #50 by mid Nov. to complete upgrades before taking her to the Bahamas.

    Smooth Sailing

    The winds have settled down and the temps have raisen on the SF Bay. Now is the season for taking your spouse sailing -- because the rail will not be under water when going to weather.

    Now here's a thread that needed some pictures!

    Great photos, Pete. Those rub rails really do look good on Grace.

    I checked with some poeple this weekend regarding the 2nd annual (attempt) Frost Bite Regatta. It seems they never made it out of the lounge-again.

    Does get mighty cold after dark come November.

    Proper clothing helps, and an energy drink
