Winter finally arrived with gusto this month, heralded by snow and record low temperatures. While it may be the down season that doesn’t mean it’s down time for us. When the forecast calls for snow and high winds, some of us head to the store for the “bread and milk”, while Captain Jon heads to the schooners (the
Riggin and the
Timberwind) to check on lines and bubblers (so the ice doesn’t freeze to the hull).
