CS34 Winter Cover

Spent much of Monday pressure washing the 22 and 34.
Took all day.
Helped Walter winterize his boat.

Spent much of Tuesday winterizing big Still Time.

• bypassed the hot water tank
• drained the water tanks
• winterized the plumbing
• winterized the head
• winterized the anchor locker washdown pump
• cleaned the black streaks on the hull

Black streaks are GONE

Works better than the 3M product.

Great product; like it so much I bought a 4L jug.

Was hoping to get the cover on but it was blowing 25+ knots from the south.
COLD WIND.

Spent some time taking the mast apart on the 22

Wednesday was cold and rainy; NO BOATS FOR ME.

Today Thursday was warm 8 degrees C with sunny periods.
NE wind maybe 6-8, PERFECT for putting the cover on.

Took all day single handed following the same as last year:

Got it done around 5pm just as the rain started!

Had an issue with the little ladder I have been using to get onto the transom of the boat:

Luckily I was only on the first rung!
Into the metal recycling bin it went.

The Spinlock clutch for the spinnaker halyard is broken:

Luckily you can still get parts for it:

Spinlock XA

$30

Update: the rudder repair from the spring has held out fine!

Before disconnecting the batteries, I made sure they were fully charged:
