Getting ready to sail in Ohio


This is the construction site of the two new launch wells under construction at our marina at Sandusky harbor marina on the western end of Lake Erie. The harsh winter took it's toll which mandated a total renovation. Launch schedule is to start April 17th which is only a week later than normal.

After replacing the air conditioner seacock and the engine seacock and through hull our boat is nearly ready for launch May 17th, with the exception of changing the color of the stripes on the boat. This will complete the color change from the original Hunter blue to Hunter green. I removed the top stripes (ugh) last season. The boot stripe is in the gel coat so I have it nearly sanded and ready to paint. The boat is stored inside with the mast down (of course) and too close to the other boats to be able to finish sanding so will have to wait until they put it out in the yard to complete.

Another Snow storm






We have 5" of snow on the ground at 8:30 AM and it's still coming down. Another 4" to 6" predicted.
