Emerging from winter


Lady Ash had weathered the winter well. I climbed aboard and inspected her. The engine took a short time to turn over but soon roared into life, I expected to have to charge the battery.
If anything the decks seemed cleaner I suppose a winter of fresh water weathering rather than sea water had helped. I took out the sails to get them inspected and repaired, I just need to antifoul the hull and do some woodwork before she goes back in on April the 6th. I think I may try to remote the main halyard and reefing though! Roll on summer.
