Yup, everything back in the boat...
Load it with the truck beside the boat on the hard...
or, 110 yards down the docks....

Indeed the car will be loaded from top to bottom to put everything back in before we move it but we will still have a lot of thing to bring back before our departure.
Note: Yesterday they put a big cruiser on the water, while on the truck chassis the boat swung right/left when it started to float... result: 4 nibral propellers good to be recycled in cans for refried beans. This will cost them more than I will spend in fuel for the season.

My first winter with this boat. I did the winterizing myself so I hoped that I did everything ok, apparently I did because no freeze damage. I installed a stern thruster and several new thru hulls so I was concerned about leaks but it was all good. Have fun.

Congrats
We got splashed Wednesday morning. 5 minutes of engine time to make sure the cobwebs were out and made our 5 hour run to our summer slip.
Now if the rain would stop. Lol

Houston, the Bleuvet has splashed! (pictures to come later today).
It was a stressful moment but finally everything is fine... except that... I mounted this damned flybridge engine control reversed, if I push the lever I am going backward
So in other word, the empirical results showed that on the transfer unit the throttle is "pull the cable" and the clutch is "pull the cable to forward gear".
I will need to unmount this control for the 10th time, what a fun we have here!!!

Greetings,
Mr. L_t. Good stuff. Just found a brief article on the Rideau Canal system. Check with Parks Canada regarding open sections...
Rideau Canal boating season underway
