Check your Boat Insurance

I took my last ride for this year. It was a quick run from Parker Marine to West Alton Marina (for gas) and back. A little choppy in the bay and even choppier from the Rum point / Minge Cove area to West Alton.

Don't forget to make sure that you do not have a restriction on your boat policy regarding when the boat has to be out of the water. Many policies and homeowner endorsements offer a reduced rate if you do not have your boat in the water for a specified time period. Mine is from Nov 1 to March 31st. I do not have coverage for any loss while in the water during this period. I do have coverage on land such as in storage or on my trailer.

Hope everyone enjoyed the boating year as much as we did.

It is always a sad time of year when the boats are pulled out of water. This past sunday afternoon, took a trip around sleepers and down into Alton Bay, while it was nippy out there the water had calmed down. We pulled the party boat on Monday morning and its awaiting the cold winters nap. The runabout was pulled back to CT for the last time. It will be sold this winter.
As we were leaving, I looked out and there is the mooring. Hmm good thing we still have a row boat. You all have a great winter, when is ice out???
