Season start

Post by Pouw Geuzebroek »

Just 4 weeks and sailing season starts overhere :P Can't wait to chop the waves again. Looking outside the window now and see a white countryside, ice on the lakes and it started snowing again. :( It will be a long four weeks I am afraid.

The season offical opener is May 7th here, but it has been a very mild winter. All our rain has gone to CA., the lucky dogs. No doubt we'll be hearing the "drought" word used a lot this summer. Good, I rather spend my weekends sailing than mowing anyway. Time to get cracking on those mods!

Please take your rain back to Washington....I am ready to see the sun for more than 4 days...We usually go into "Nuclear Summer" in Central California soon. This is where the kids say... Daddy what is that in the sky?? Clouds son.

We'll take the water...no problem. Water to float the boat.

I am glad you liked it so much in our small country Slamjammer. To be honest I have never been to Arnhem myself. Whenever you are around again, drop me a line and we can probably make some arrangements to take a little sailing trip together. This goes for anyone on this board of course. :)

Well mark, we had a dramatic change in the weather last week. And it looks like spring has finaly arrived overhere. Last week we had -21C, yesterday it was +21C, never happend before overhere to have 42C difference in one week.
I will be checking out my boat in her winter storage, this weekend and start preparing her for the new season. Just needs some Antifouling and fresh engine oil and we are ready to go.

We are hoping to be able to get everthing ready so we can get a lesson on our boat from Ray then enjoy some boating for a couple of days, maybe up to Everett to see mom for mothers day. Would love to meet you if your are in the area.
