Jubilee came north on October 29th to spend the winter on her cradle at Delaware City. There was lots of excitement while making this trip. It was the first for our newly adopted Daisy Girl and we had fog and wind at our backs to make everything interesting.
We had so much fun watching as Daisy decided where she wanted to hangout on the boat. Her #1 spot was in the salon next to a few cushions and #2 next to mommie anywhere she was.

It was an above average day with temps in the seventies & nice winds from the southwest that sped us on our northern journey up the Chesapeake, into the C& D Canal and into Delaware City. As we approached the Summit Bridge, I noticed that the train bridge was down...apparently waiting for a train to pass so we used this time to drop the mainsail and flake it into the stackpac. I went down below to pickup the binoculars and Sue hollered out that the train was passing. We pulled into the Delaware City Canal in time to lower the main onto the deck and place it into its' bag to store until Spring arrives in 2016. I rowed against the current to the boat ramp and we loaded the dinghy onto the trailer to bring home for the winter. Many non-boaters don't realize the lengths we go to prepare for the winter and if our situation were different this fall, we may have gone South.

This winter we will be replacing the insulation in our refrigerator so we will use less amps to cool our food during the summer months.
