Indoor Storage 12/17/14

[5th Tuition]

Well, my Judge is sure getting pampered this winter

I always wanted a garage (like Skip) to keep my boat during the winter. It would be nice to not look outside and see her full of snow and ice. My old boat, the 22 Angler w/a, was shrink wrapped each winter and unwrapped each spring. When I bought the Judge, I had work done to her the last two winters (upgrades), so she didn't get shrink-wrapped. On more than one occasion, I was outside shoveling snow off her deck with a child's fiberglass shovel

This year, I was contemplating getting radar installed during the off season with my winnings from my Diamond Jim catch. However, there were so many "impostors" caught, that we only got $625 for each fish That certainly won't put radar on her, so instead, it put fuel in her for a couple trips to Point Lookout, and filled her belly for winter storage
Sooooo, today she went into the new storage place off Rt 97 in Ferndale/Glen Burnie; not 10 minutes from my house. She is all washed and ready for additional trips south to the Power Plant or maybe even East to O.C.; if the fish stay put for a while before heading to Virginia/North Carolina.
You have unlimited in/out access to your boat. Instead of taking all my equipment, cushions, and curtains off her, they stayed on the boat inside a temp. controlled warehouse (50*) at all times. I wet vac'ed all the water out of the bilge so that I shouldn't have to worry about mildew. I'll check on her periodically.

I stored her for three months. I usually start PSCR on St Patrick's day (March 17th). Let's hope we get some warm/calm days to bust her cherry early in 2015

I'll let you know how the experience goes.
