The last day of the year was closed out with 2 "DRIFT AWAY" cases. We had a Sunny & Warm New Year's Eve, with temperatures in the mid 60's but winds were running WSW @ 15-20 with gusts to 40 mph. The combination of "warm" / "cold" weather contrasts along with high winds usually results in a fair number of "DRIFT AWAY'S", where Boat Lifts leak down and the vessel is not secured to the dock - - so it decides to leave home - -
ONCE AGAIN AS BEFORE -
"TIE OFF THY BOAT"
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
