Bristol-Blue Lake Michigan Sailing Adventures

As winter's go this year we have had it pretty light here along the West Coast of Lake Michigan.  So far I've only really needed to clear the driveway 3 times.  However last weekend we finally did get some accumulation.  Once I got the house and driveway squared away I headed down to the marina to see how the boat faired.  Not so bad the cover is holding up well and the deck is dry.  I can't ask for much more.  I decided to brush it off anyways.  With the mast down I'm trying to keep the weight off as much as possible.  I know Spring is just around the corner.  

Preventative Maintenance Water Pump Impeller  This weekend we have had some unseasonably warm weather. I took the opportunity to do some much-needed maintenance on the iron genny. I'm not sure when the impeller what changed last but it was clearly overdue.   Slimy and gross.  It took me about an hour and a half but I got it all cleaned up and reassembled.
