This is a drill, I repeat, this is a drill

With Monday's weather forecast being a bit questionable, I have prepared kimosabi for a bit of wind by removing all the sails and strapping and tying it to the lift so it won't sway in the wind. Because the boat is so light and the mast so tall, I also have two halyards connected to the top beams of the lift. If the forecast were for a major hurricane, I would have also lowered the mast. It's actually best to remove trailerable boats from boat lifts and store them on a strapped down trailer. That isn't as easy for this old guy as it used to be...
