Winter Maintenance at Valley Marine
Winter is a good time for annual boat maintenance. The shops are less busy, and long months of inactivity are hard on boats. Having ours in top shape makes us confident it will be ready whenever the weather is good.
Our new (to us) Bayliner 3058 is too big for us to trailer, so we asked Jeff at Valley Marine to arrange for transportation from our moorage in the North Harbour to his shop in Paradise Valley. He got Can-Tow to come with their skookum trailer. But before that could happen, Wayne had to remove the canvas top and with John's help, lower the radar arch.
Our boat will be back in the water soon, ready for new adventures Up the Strait and Farther Up the Strait (shameless plug).

ReplyDeleteI brought in the hoses after draining them today!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tash - And I love seeing glimpses of SoCal. Sometimes I see something that sparks a fond memory, and other times new things I should see when I get down south each fall.
ReplyDeleteJenn - We are lucky we don't have much of a freezing problem, but once in a while we get a cold snap. The only water we have at the cabin is coming up from the lake to the hand pump. Maybe the lake water tempers things, it's never frozen yet.
