You folks on the east cost are going to laugh at this but here in California I'm bringing my Eclipse home for the winter months as of Nov 1st.
I had her in the Venture Marina dry storage (mast up) so I could do some much need yard work at home (removing in ground spa and decking) to do so the construction guys needed access ).
It was nice durning the summer to just drive 50 miles and pull the boat out of the storage yard and slip her in the water.
I'm looking forward to having her home again so I can tinker on her from time to time and on those really nice sunny days I will take her out durning the winter days.
Hope those of you who have to put your boats on the hards for the winters will have a short winter !
