In spite of the snow gently fluttering down on top of my daffodils, we will be launching the boat in the next two weeks.  We are almost ready.  The anti-fouling paint and wax are on.  We won't remove the anti-freeze from the engine until we know it has stopped freezing at night.

A major report on climate change was released this week.  We may be happy that our hobby involves a boat that floats, given the predictions.
