Santosha\u2019s Winter Home – Aylings Boatyard Merrickville, ON<\/p>\n

Santosha was hauled out this past Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once she was \u201con the hard\u201d I winterized the plumbing & the engine & took the balance of stuff off the boat that needs to go home to London with me.<\/p>\n

This morning my fiberglass guy started to sand the antifouling paint off the boat\u2019s bottom. Now that’s one tough job to do! The dust from the sander was unreal!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After several hours of work he concluded that the paint was much too hard for efficient sanding & recommended that it would be much better to hire another contractor who has the equipment to strip the hull using an abrasive blasting media – probably soda, dry ice or glass pellets. We are arranging for quotes from several contractors & will make a decision next week. Time to dig deep into the piggy bank 🙀. BOAT!!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m anxious to get home so I\u2019ll drive back to London tomorrow & make the contractor arrangements remotely. Hopefully they can complete the work within the next 2-3 weeks.<\/p>\n

Fall is setting in quickly now. The weather here through the day is beautiful in the low to mid 20s but the nights have been chilly at 5 to 7 above freezing. It\u2019s working wonders on the fall colours. They will probably peak just before Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

I took the photo below from the bridge at Burritt\u2019s Rapids.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This next photo was taken from the bridge in Merrickville at the river “bypass” around the Parks Canada locks. I’m still trying to get a handle on the special effects app on my iPhone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the way back to the boat this evening I was also treated to a flypast & high level roost by this crane.<\/p>\n

Nice images to close out Santosha\u2018s 2019 Rideau Cruise.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
