Getting There

SHIP'S LOG:

     You would think that winter would be over by now, but such is not the case. Now, I am not saying that we should have temps in the 70's or even the 60's, but they should at least get out of the 30's. It has been a remarkable winter and today it got in another punch, hopefully the last. This blast went north, far north, into northern New England. Down here, we got the a dusting of snow and a drop in temperature.  It had actually been mild, relatively, for a few days and I had been thinking about heading up to Portland and getting ABISHAG out of her winter wear. Thank goodness, I was not seduced.

     Actually, this little storm would really not have caused much of a problem after the long winter of storms, it is just the thought of uncovering before it is all done. I will take the plunge on Saturday, if there is no rain, and strip off the all the blue-poly covering.  As I recall now, there are the remains of four cans of beer and half a case of water in the galley sink. Considering how bitterly cold the temperature got over the last few months, I fully expect that the cans will have burst and the plastic bottles split. Serves me right for leaving them in place, but such is the boating life.
