Xmas Lights On - Guess No Sailing until 2013...

Well;
Put the Christmas lights on the house last week and the wife fired them on tonight; so I guess it's a sure sign that boating season is over!!

Course I could always buy a few more strings and go in the carol cruise this year... :D

I could use an extra hand sailing from St. Marks down to the Keys in a couple of weeks. It hit 90 in St. Pete today.

It has yet to get near freezing here in rainy Portland, Oregon, but I put christmas lights on the boat yesterday. I suspect the timer I installed for the lights will use more power than the LED light strings I put up...3 x 33 footers.

Trying to dress up Portland Yacht Club more than the boat.
