The sad day has arrived to prepare R.E.D.
for the cold months ahead…
…the scrubbing…
…the rinsing…
…cleaning out the anchor well…
(what do you want to bet
we’ll have that anchor on our coffee table for the winter?)
…giving the sails one last breath
before removing, folding and bagging…
…airing the canvas…
…ready to de-mast…
…R.E.D. topless and ready for the big show tomorrow…
(imagine what results a random internet search that will produce…topless…big show…)
…staging for tomorrow’s water ballet…
…our last sunset on the water…
(for this year)
Francois’ priceless comment of the day when I said:
‘Soon it will all be over’…meaning boat out and everything packed away…
…his comment: ‘Winter, right?’
…ahh my eternal optimist!…
