I thought today was the last day the ARRR!! would sail this season. I was wrong. Dear Husband spent the day taking down sails, taking down the boom, and stowing "stuff" in the cabin for the season. Because we spent yesterday celebrating my niece's wedding, he didn't get to sail this weekend. That was a major concession for him, and he never said a word about it.
I was working in the office when he got home. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and he should have been out until 5:30 or 6:00. I went to find out if he was ill, and he told me how he had spent his day.
Next Friday, he'll drive to the city and stay overnight on the boat for the last time this summer, and then he'll be at the lock early Saturday morning to have the mast stepped. Then, he'll motor down the Chicago River to the boat yard where the boat will be craned out.
It will seem odd to have DH back after a season of solitary weekends. Of course, you understand that there will be WEEKS of putting the boat to bed......*S* Maybe by January we'll have some time together.

No....I could wait it out....but HE'LL be out there puttering under the tarp. He needs a line of porters passing stuff from the garage, up the ladder and into the boat about March 1st. I swear he'd sleep out there if I let him.
Actually....it would make a great dog house....if he didn't love it so much.
