85 Monday, 55 today. Mid 30's predicted on Thursday night---getting too close for comfort as I don't trust the weather forecast. Dropped the boat off yesterday for winterization/storage and no one wants to see a picture of a rainy day with a boat on a trailer. Worst part is I spent all weekend cleaning it prior to storage and it rained all day yesterday. Hadn't planned on taking it in yet, but some urgent personal situations dictated that it had to be yesterday. Covered in wet road slop from the drive to the dealer to go into storage. As I drove off, my clean black boat was more gray from road mist. Hopefully the coat of wax protects it and it cleans easy in the spring. The season started off rough and ended up the same way.....sure was a bust.....maybe it's better in the spring.

We had a great summer but probably because the big boating holidays were beautiful. Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day were gorgeous. Hopefully yours will be better next year sailor.

I hear you sailor. Next year will be better. I'm ok if I just use my boat during the regatta. That's a win for me.
I would make a trip to your storage unit and get the hot sauce out and spray her down and wiper her down one more time before it gets freezing out.
I've been waiting for weeks for a good day to get the boat to the shop. It's just been crappy here or we have been busy. Glad I put a heater in the garage so no worries here.

Wish I could. Once it’s in the dealers hands I don’t see it till spring. They provide the storage....well for a price that
Well 1 thing it will be cleaner then bobs. Lol. Can you pay them cash to wash it. Man I don't think I could sleep while my baby is tucked away dirty.

Such a distinctive color SD. Thx for posting.
Thanks A7, it wouldn't have been my first choice but since getting it I have really come to loce it. Only one other Cobalt I have seen with Pacific blue Knockout red is an R series with a white bottom, not too many like it....
