I am currently in cold and snowy Indiana. So this is my current dream status. what is your current status?
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT STATUS?
- Thread starter LANCE ON CLOUD NINE
- Start date
Spending an inordinate amount of time looking for youtube videos of sailing in the BVI in anticipation of our 10 day bareboat charter in March....also checking the various webcams as well.......the ride is a 37' 2011 Beneteau and just the two of us! Kinda like a second honeymoon after 27 years....
A beautiful day sailor for a mere 900K Euro's

I am North of your position in Michigan. Needless to say the boat is on the trailer in the side yard with a list of things to complete before the weather breaks. I currently have the bow pulpit and life line stanchions removed. I am cleaning them up a bit and getting ready to re-bed them. Also need some new jib sheets and I would like to redo the cabin cushions before spring. Time to get busy!
We're in Syracuse waiting for:

I guess I'll drag the snowblower up from the basement with a couple of shovels. Maybe buy some gas. Meanwhile we are hard at work cleaning out the attic, basement and anything else that catches my eye - "That's not going with us!" And I'm trying to finish my business commitments by March 15. Letter to clients goes out Feb. 1. I don't think I could do this in another 10 years. I signed a contract to broker my boat yesterday to sell "As is." My wife has a mover estimate. We just need a place to move to but it's likely we'll rent for a bit and make job #1 when retired finding a place to live. The Future is Now!
On the hard and 600 miles from my boat. But I hope to reunite in March and splash at a new to me marina.
Today, I was thinking about sailing, it was great! Tomorrow, I will be thinking about sailing, winter sucks! 
Is that a little like thinking about sex?
The word is fall is the time of year that most Canadians are born. Blame it on winter.
Why would one waste precious time thinking about sex when there are so many boats to consider.
Oh, and beer. So much beer to consider.
Isn't life great? Are we there yet? Two weeks (and a bit) and counting!

Oh it is growing near. The chance to look at new boats. To sail. To taste new beers of Canada. To cross the Strait of Georgia.
Sitting in Tyrrel Bay Carriacou, in crystal clear water. The air temp is about 80 degrees and the wind between 8 and 13 knots from the east.
Today we will finish up installing our mooring. Two twelve foot sand screws about 20' apart with 40' of ½" chain connecting them and a 1" three strand nylon pennant, all in 12' of water. Not thinking a hurricane mooring, but sufficient to sleep well and keep our anchor tackle out of the water, any other time.
Next step is to register it w/ports and harbors and wait until the proper legislation goes through to make it legally ours. Our own little piece of paradise12 feet underwater.lol
Another grand day in paradise.

@dlochner that is a very nicely fit cover, as sad as it is to put a cover on when you have to it might as well fit well and that certainly does fit well, how many sections is that? I like the way it wraps past the water line, it appears to have a draw line through the perimeter, how does that work if in multiple sections.

Here’s my status. I’m just glad it’s not my ass that’s in the sling.

Butt surgery sling oh maximus gluteus reconstruction, sounds like something Kardashian.........
If your boat is set up for “single handed sailing” you’ll be OK.
