No different from any other October for me, I suppose. It's post-Columbus Day and I've been packing up gear and hauling it home, a carload or so at a time. Sails are off and stowed, galley's stripped clean, cans and jars and bottles are off. There's still bedding, foul weather gear, electronics and more still on board, perhaps two trips worth. The last offload will likely be cabin cushions.
It's not really a sad time for me... I see it more as the beginning time for winter boat projects and getting to all the whipping and splicing I don't get to while I'm sailing. And, of course, it's the beginning of the countdown to taking the cover off in the Spring!
