Fall Cruise 2010: More Boat Chores!

A week of cleaning & preparing!

This last week saw the completion of more boat projects: two coats of Cetol on all outside wood work, scrubbing of all lockers, drawers, lazarette, engine room and bilge, more waxing, cleaning the dinghy, changing the oil, as well as packing up to go home. The week flew by and we do not know where the time went.


Frank power washing the roof of the marina sheds! This takes off approx. 2" of moss & growth We had to wash our boat again after he cleaned above us!



Craig cleaning our Walker Bay Genesis RIB
Nice outfit, Sailor!



Craig's Boat Hair



Worse from this side!
Funny how one can get away with wearing the same clothes
for many days and not worrying about hair when boating!




Leslie & Jim leaving on their old wooden Monk Cruiser!


One of the things we do when putting Kozad to bed for the winter is to top up the fuel tanks, to eliminate the chance of condensation and introducing water into the diesel tanks.

We took a couple of hours on Friday to take Kozad out for a short cruise and for filling up at the Shell Docks at Cap Sante Marina. We took on 35 gallons of fuel which was all we used in our September cruising of South Sound.


Anacortes is a real Marine Town!
This ship yard was working on a large oil tender,
as well as redoing a Washington State Ferry!

Happy seals on the docks!

The weather was very nice and we finished up the chores in time to do more dock walking, attended the Anacortes Boat Show, went to the Fidalgo Yacht Club and for supper with friends Joan and Charles who have the Pacific Trawler 40 MV Sea Eagle!

Moving Kozad to Anacortes has been a great decision; we love it here and have met so many nice boaters!
