Another season in the books!

[ThatJeffGuy]

Another year, another thousand miles... Splashed April 1st (heck of a feat in Duluth, Minnesota!) Yanked the boat in October (right before the snow starting flying). I had one delightful trip to the Apostles for five days the culminated in come back in a NE wind with dense fog and most importantly 98 days off the dock! 94 on Big Bird (E32-2) one day on Pyewacket (Olson 911) and two random days on J-24s (slumming). Anyway, here is a picture of Big Bird right before I put the jib on in the spring and went for a sail, yes, that is ice surrounding the boat...

I applaud your enthusiasm. Sounds like a great summer.

Curious about the yellow foam on the backstay and rails.

The aquatic hitch hiker put pool noodles on the backstays and railings, she is gone now, as is the foam.

There's a great story here. I like the way you have summarized tidily.

So that is who put the pool noodles on my boat yesterday.
