So Close

The boat is officially out of storage and having some gelcoat work done in Sturgeon Bay. We had noticed some cracking around the porthole window below windshield on the starboard side of the boat. When a survey was done a few years ago the surveyor notice a tiny amount of bubbling around the window and said it was the first sign of a leak and it should be addressed. I let it go a bit with the intention of taking care of it myself, however, time continued to slip by and never officially took care of it. So it was decided last fall before we put it in the water it would be taken care of professionally.

I am familiar with this work as I did fiberglass repair and finish work for my Dad's business for a few years.  The skills and equipment have come in handy over the years.  The older I get and the time stretched with work and family it is difficult to allocate time to these things. Especially if you want time to relax and enjoy the boat in our limited season.

Our spring season this year is a stark contrast to last year. Last year we had many days that were over 80 degrees by now. This year I think we have only been to 70 once otherwise we have been in the 30s and 40s for most of our spring.  May is just around the corner and we still are getting snow in the state. Hopefully next week it is done and we can put her in the water and start enjoying the boat!
