Brought SPARTINA home for winter maintenance Yesterday. She is in pretty good shape. I was pleasantly surprised to see the bottom paint just needs touching up around the waterline. Most of work will be on the white deck and upper side planks. They've been exposed to a lot of harsh sunshine for 15 years now. I'll sand down some areas and coat with clear epoxy, then repaint. Plus the bright work needs (as always) some touching up.
If I sail at all prior to the winter trip down south it will be day sails down in Elizabeth City, a favorite place to catch the wind in wintertime.

Happy New Year, Steve. Wishing you and yours all the best in the coming year.
Same to you, MaryLou! I look forward to seeing you and Fred on the fall sail. Maybe even the spring sail too. Steve
