The Wait is very nearly over........

So as winter finally starts to draw to a close, we look forward to D - Day.......May the 1st is the day that we splash the hull and get Olli into the water at the marina.

The weather has not been cooperating thus far, and we thought that an early May date to launch for the season was a good idea. But when the boating season is even shorter than the golfing season, what the hell.......

So we have secured the slip, signed a seasons contract at the marina, and picked up our local boating charts from Bridge Yachts in Port Dover. That finally completes the list for our needed supplies and safety gear......I think.

As ever excited, we went to the Beautiful town today as the sun was shining at last, and temperatures were about 16 to 17 degrees, but a whistling wind was coming across the lake......but being southerly, bought the warmth!

A walk along the beach and through the town showed that the town is coming to life for the season.

Then of course, we went to check out the Marina......even though it is still closed.

Give this 4 weeks, and the marina will look almost full!

I am looking to go visit Olli when she gets unwrapped and serviced so that i can double check that everything is done......once she is in the water, that's it unless we have serious issues and need a haul out......not what we are planning.

As ever, our third crew mate is excited at the upcoming summer.........or not.

Well, more as we get closer......the timer at the start of the post once read 208 days!
