We had our last cruise early last month. Breeze On was pulled from the water a few weeks ago.
She is sitting right next to the marina building because they are going to install rub rails for us this winter. Remember my disastrous docking? Well, we decided to have rub rails installed after that experience. Even though we are much better at docking now than we were then we believe they will be worth the price for us.
Also on the to do list for the winter is making decisions about solar panels. We have been reading up on electricity and have quite a bit more research to do before we decide. We are currently leaning toward flexible solar panels that will zip onto the bimini. We have to decide how many amp hours we need and which solar panels to buy that will provide the power that we need.
So, even though we are no longer sailing we are still thinking about sailing. The winter will be over before we know it and we will be back out there on the water.

And what a season! George directed me here via email and I have completely consumed every post. What an exciting journey you've both had over the last year and first of retirement! Really appreciate the tone of the posts...lessons learned and good with the bad and especially the perserverance in the face of having to constantly be learning new things. Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteTotally jealous of the retirement but at least I can live vicariously via your posts. Only one complaint: Need more pictures of you two enjoying yourselves. I know the boat and the sunsets are part of the charm, but it's nothing without your faces. :) Enjoy the winter! Looking forward to what the next season brings you both.
Thank you for your very kind comments, Pedro. I am so happy you read the blog and enjoyed it. I am making a mental note to take more selfies with George next season.
