Oct 9th chopping on the bit

Because of our damp weather it is very important to the boat winterized this means all water to drained engine compartment to have a low power heater because you can never get all the water out of the bilge plus all seats and mattress and clothing  any thing in tight quarters to be taken out if they can't breath they will mold so I also put a fan in for ventilation
Roger and Susie's Travels Well a little further and getting closer to leaveing  boat complete and put to bed

Oct. 8th dealing with boat

Love this boat

I Think I like this pose two

It was a struggle but as you can see it did fit in there
Roger and Susie's Travels  Well got the boat cleaned out winterized and motor flushed out with fresh water plus got the 15 horse off the back of the boat and in the trunk of the tow car for our little boat in Mexico. all that is left is too set up a fan plus heater in engine compartment and cover in for the winter. plus still loading Susie,s stuff for the motor home. The weather is crappy I think I am getting excited to start traveling down the road
