Back to G'bury for the Winter

SeTherin was lifted off the trailer and on to the stands today.

It has been two weeks since I towed her back from Nonak.   I had done the disassembly & took down the mast on Tuesdayember 23rd, then drove down with the trailer the next day with our long-in-tooth ’95 Ford Explorer.   Just as I was turning on to Marsh Road, a quarter mile from Spicer's, the power steering went kaput.  Upon arriving Spicer’s, there was a large puddle of fluid under the front end.  The hose fitting from the output of the power steering cooler had rusted through.  Brian was just a couple minutes behind me, so with his assistance we disconnected the hoses.  After a short trip to Johnson’s Hardware for a brass butt connector & some fluid, we hooked up the hoses and bi-passed the cooler.  Pulling the boat & the drive home was uneventful.
