It is that time of the year again: mid-october and Thanksgiving. Yes, the sun is still warm, the air perfumed with the scent of leaves, and it is for us somewhat hard to believe that there will be a winter...but we know better.










On a beautiful warm day, we unfold the huge tarp in our driveways and sew sturdy attachments of nylon...luckily, there is much less wind where the boat is currently (Kingston Marina, on the Catarqui river) than at Portsmouth Harbour which lies pretty open to winds from all directions! Nevertheless, the tarp should remain on the boat and let as little snow as possible infiltrate underneath...
