"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour, catch the tradewinds in your sails.
Explore,.....Dream,.......Discover."

Mark Twain

Winter 2010


We spent our first winter aboard Mistress which turned out to be not as most people would think, considering that we live on the Great Lakes. Early December was quite mild but we did have a few wind storms that kept us awake at night. Once we discovered that if you covered the cabin floor, underneath the Vee berth, and all lockers with insulation it stayed nice and toasty inside. During the day, our enclosure would heat up to 15c from the sun.
