Yes, that''s more or less the pattern for me up on Georgian Bay, Ontario, too. I am trying to figure out how to install an Espar Airtronic heater, encouraged by lots of snow on the ground around the boat. Although I have no plans to sail all winter - that wouldn''t work up here; just to lengthen the season by a month or so.

And books, at home. I revert to being an arm chair sailor. Reading Tristan Jones'' *To Venture Further*. Also read Bernard Moitessier''s *The Long Way*. And Nigel Calder, *Boat Owner''s Mechanical and Elecrical Manual*. Etc., etc., etc.

Bon voyage,
Jake, *Windjammer*
