Winter Work 2023

 This was our last winter inside a heated storage building for the foreseeable future and we had several projects to take care of.

We hauled out November 5th at Son Rise Marina in Sandusky Ohio.

The windlass was serviced and the main anchor was upgraded to a Mantus M2 125lb from a Bruce 66lb. 

The Northern Lights Generator received a full service and new sound foam inside the enclosure. 

The John Deer Main received a full service as well. 

The fire suppression was upgraded and inspected. Smoke and CO detectors were replaced. 

The house batteries were replaced with Lifeline AGM 8d's. 

The ABT TRAC Stabilizers were serviced.

The bottom was painted and the hull sides were buffed out. 

The name boards were refinished and re-lettered. 

We installed Starlink with the HP Flat Dish on the pilot house roof. 

Upcoming post will be a tour of Cheers interior as we prepare to move aboard full time.

August 2022 Cruises

August was a busy month!  

Along with our many projects preparing for our great loop cruise next spring, we were able to enjoy a cruise back to Put-In-Bay with the Point Yacht Club!  

Enjoyed the Sandusky outdoor concerts.

I also got to have a very special weekend with my besties from work!  There were 9 of who had not seen each other since the onset of Covid.  I'm so happy I got to see them all together one more time before Bill and I leave next spring.  Thanks gals!  I'm going to miss you all very much!
