Fiddler hauled

Our season is over.

Fiddler was hauled out of the water yesterday afternoon. We are busy cleaning the boat, at least when we are at the boat. I am off running (and on foot it is running) a few last minute errands before we finish packing things up.

We have three (or four?) categories of items.
1) to stay with the boat (navigation books - HO249 tables, whale spotting in the gulf of Maine, etc.)
2) to carry home (sextants, musical instruments, some clothing and the like)
3) to ship home (books, "trophies" and trinkets, gear for home)
4) to dispose of somehow - give away or throw away (more books - probably going to the swap shelf at the marina, broken parts - trash, and the balance of the food stocks - going to the local food bank)

A final washdown inside and out, and we catch the bus tomorrow to make connections in Boston for home. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
