Bye Bye Matthew!

Hurricane Matthew has come and gone.


 All is good on Wind Wager.  She sits on her trailer in the back yard and trees did not fall on her :)  I did find a new project.  With all the rain showing me some leaks.  I need to re-bed all the deck hardware to stop those leaks which can lead to wet cushions and mold.



I need to decide if I should replace or rebuild the Honda outboard control box.

I will need to do something before I can put her in the water again.  I did decide not to renew my slip and keep her on the trailer.
   I have a long list of repairs and modifications I want to complete over the winter.  However I also have a house honey do list I need to work on as well.  SO I should probably prioritize...   The Admiral has told me in no uncertain terms that she will not set foot on Wind Wager until I go through all systems and fix.  Does that mean I should get a new motor ;)  Time will tell..  
     Well we decided to mothball Wind Wager for the winter and not put in the water again this year.  I will begin the projects soon.  But, for now I have kayaks and a john boat that is asking to be used and fishing should be picking up.  Also, with all the flooding inland ,NC Flooding, I should spend some of my time helping those folks.

Take Care,
Tom
