Finally it was time to take Seas The Day in for the winter.
There was a bit of a snag. The weekend before it was to be hauled, I got a call from the launch captain... one of Seas The Day's lines had broken. What do you do in this case. One of the lines was still holding, we were only going to be in the water another couple of days, but high winds were predicted. So I made two calls... one to Pedersen's and another to "Diver Dan" of Brother's Diving and fortunately Dan was available to quickly replace the line.
Pedersen's hauled the boat later that week (in late October), and after they had a chance to do the winterization (draining all water from the boat and flushing the systems with marine antifreeze, oh, and also an oil change) I made a trip up in early November to check everything out and then a last trip in late November to put the winter cover in place.
A day on the boat is pretty good... even if the boat is out of the water.
