I started a thread a few weeks back about things to do before leaving the boat for a few days or weeks. I got some great responses from several folks. I have compiled everything into one big check list. It's in an excel spreadsheet. I grouped it by 'systems' - electrical, plumbing, cabin, cockpit/sails, etc. But it may actually need to be put in order of when the task should be performed, as some of the things are dependent on others being done first in the list. I tried to include every step you guys recommended. Not all items apply to every boat, so you can just cut out the things you don't need. I am going to try to post it as an attachment to this post. If you can't get it, or if you can't manage an excel spreadsheet, send me an email, and I'll find a way to get it to you directly - as a pdf or word doc or something. Please offer additional suggestions/critiques/ideas. This is a work in progress!!!
