Visited the boat for the first time since November and had a very nice surprise. No mold or mildew anywhere. I didn't shrinkwrap. I used a couple of tarps on the flybridge and salon (aka deckhouse) to cover the windows and plastic channels. I have a sunbrella canvas for the cockpit and tucked it under the aluminum gutters that run down the sides of the deckhouse. I removed the aft screw in each gutter and slid the canvas in. The gutters would otherwise dump water inside the canvas and onto the cockpit deck. Left the drain plugs out to allow any rain water or condensation to drain. Also left the v berth windows cracked open for ventilation. Everything looks good.
Now if the engines start at launch we will be in great shape.

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

If you visit Chicago let me know. The first round is on me.

Sorrydog:
Thanks for the encouragement. I use the boat as an escape. Even a bad day on the boat beats a good day at the office.
