Speaking for ourselves, just north of you, we don't 'button' up for the winter. We put on a dehumidifier, a small heater, and take off things like the bbq and cockpit table etc, but otherwise the boat is ready to go, and we generally get out at least once a month throughout the winter season. Our YC schedules winter events (eg New Years Eve) at nearby marinas which helps to encourage us to tough it out.
