Have a bunch of things to do before launch next week. Weather has been horrible and been working lots and was counting on this weekend to wrap it up. Still need to finish swim platform installation (80% done) get the new waste tank in, clean and treat tops and change anodes, get batteries in and PoliGlow the hull. Snow on Sunday? Really!!!!
Worst comes to worst I'll have to do the tops another time and leave the PoliGlow to the fall or next spring. I can also do the tank after launch but that means installing batteries for launch and then pull them all out again to get the tank in place .
Aaarrrggghhh!

    That is a challenging to-do list with your time available. Good luck!!

    That will teach you to use In-accuweather...... :) I found it to be the least reliable of all the services. Watch - it will be a nice day.  B)

    Wish I had the option of waiting but we're hauled and blocked and unblocked by the marina as part of our slip fee. So if you're not ready or willing to go in on the appointed day, no problem, but it's $550 for an "unscheduled" haul.

    A little snow on the deck won't hurt the boat.

    Nope. Just makes it harder to get things done.

    I have 2 pieces of canvas out for repair so now the rain shows up.  I'll be drying off the seats this weekend.

    We are currently getting gusts to 50 mph and snowing like he77. I'm sitting in front of the fireplace with a coffee going over my pre-launch must do list in my head. The list is getting shorter and shorter.....
    Going to head over to the marina in a bit and will discuss with staff, I can't be the only one struggling to get ready. There's no way everybody is going to be ready to go by projected launch date mid-week.
