IN THE WATER FOR THE WINTER

A warm start to the winter allowed the Julie F to motor up the lake Christmas Day, and a few days around the start of the New Year. Now at the end of January and minus 20 to 30 degree temperatures, pumps in the water keep ice away from the hull. Electric fans below decks move the air around and keep the wooden hull from developing mildew problems. During the sunny days the wheel house can warm up to 15 or 20 degrees, and is nice to sit and dream of spring.

A nice place to sit and ponder the next boating season
