Cold Snapped

When I got too hot living in Florida, I just put on a layer of air conditioned house. Up here in Northern NH, if it gets too hot, I have to wait a day for Summer to end.

charlie, i'm not to bright, what's that red thing for over your cockpit used for? never had one of those.
me , i love heat. just turned the furnace up a little higher. hate air conditioning
heat is one thing- the hot broiling sun is different. Do remember- the sun is much higher in the sky here in summer time, than it is in Wisc.And my house does not have air conditioning. I have screened doors and fans
all my silliness aside, living near family and friends is the warmest of all. that keeps me warm in my cool clims....
When I was snowbound at my Dad's house in MA, back in 2015, I couldn't get near the yacht club to check on my boat. I consoled myself with thoughts of home back in Hawaii.
I don't know if winter is the reason, but January 2019 has been tough on my boat and my ego.
About lost the bow pulpit on January 12th smacking a race/channel marker post trying to cross the finish and still avoid a Beneteau 46 coming on starboard.
Then on January 19th, something on the finger pier went through the gelcoat down to glass while trying to dock in 30 knot winds, we had 3 guys on the boat and the marina had 3 guys on the dock with lines and boathooks and it still went south.
Then on January 26th, we almost lost the stern pulpit and a passenger to a port tacker in prestart race maneuvering, but we did lose the camera and bracket that was zip tied to the pulpit. It's at 1:05 in the video on post #8 in this thread:

No race this weekend, so I will try to find a good luck charm, or remove the curse, or get my mojo right, or whatever for the February 9th race. Oh, and I will check the finger pier for protruding nails and such, and also try to get the spinnaker halyard down from the top of the mast.

Just checked the weather on the shores of Lake Ontario, Rochester, NY. It's a balmy 2 degrees with 14 knots of wind gusting to 20.
Glad I winterized with the minus 60 degree antifreeze.

Yeah, they beaded up real nice on the polish that didn’t take out the scratch no matter how much I rubbed.
What is the "rat's" forecasting record?
I just watched Ratatouille with the Granddaughter. She celebrates her third birthday today. When I told her about Phil she wants to know, "Is he as good a cook as Ratatouille?"
