On Saturday (15-November-2014) my brother and I went to the boat yard for the third day of the winterization process for “Thanks Dad”.
We added “pipe insulation” as a cushion at the points of contact where the tarp and frame rub in an effort to prevent/minimize the possibility of the chaffing causing holes in the tarp.
We also did the final tie down of the tarp adding 2 bungees at each point so if any bungee fails we have a backup in place.
“Thanks Dad” is hopefully now ready for another brutal winter.
We had the first measurable snow the evening of the 15th and single digit temperatures are forecasted for the beginning of the coming week.
