Even if you didn't know that winter had just gotten off at the bus depot downtown and was making its way to your neighborhood, the light would give it away. Summer's bright and shiny sparkle has fled into the hills. Lay in the grub, get ready to read those boating rags that piled up during the warm climes, and consider the following.
A lot of marine insurance policies have a lay-up period. Typically, this period represents a stretch of time where you agreed that your vessel will be hauled from the water or not in navigation. (Each policy will likely define this period differently, so you'll want to read it carefully.) In New England, this period is sometimes defined as running from November 1 to April 1. Point being, if you're keeping the yacht in longer this year or the press of business has you worrying other issues aside from when you're going to haul-out, take the time to unfold that insurance policy and check on that date.
So there you go, another issue spotted. And, no fear, we'll keep plugging away at these little missives throughout the winter making it important you check back often. I guess, though, a goodbye to Summer is in order. I've held back some, not wanting to admit the inevitable. You were a decent Summer. Not great in the weather department, but damn alright as far as activities and outings. I'd like less rain next time around, and a little more wind when I need it, and a lot less when I don't. Still, you brightened a handful of mornings when it was needed, and you chased down a few fun nights with a cheery copper glow, so you did alright. Stay well, my friend.
Underway and making way.
