This week I am back to regular episodes and focusing on boat winterizing! Boo!! This means I'm putting my Spindrift away for a few months, but such is life. I do LOVE having seasons and the shifting weather though, just not the fact that I won't be sailing for a few months ;-).
Some episodes to catch up on:
EP 30: Sailing in Croatia - Getting Organized
EP 31: Chartering in Croatia - Starting to have fun!

Key Tips With Boat Winterizing
Sails & Canvas - remove, clean, repair as needed
Electronics - remove, update, clean
Safety Gear - remove, clean, repair, replace as needed
Water Systems - empty, clean, pump through antifreeze

I have created a FREE checklist for you to download!
