My Tow Car

Our weekend tucking Simplicity away for the winter went just like any other time when you make all theses plans, prepare like crazy, and one little thing happens, and everything is thrown in different directions, and you have to start completely over. o.k it wasn't that bad, but, here we go.  Our plan for the weekend was to sail Simplicity down to Oak Harbor, put her on the hard, under tarps, and left stepped, for the winter. Simple? Ha! Never.:  Last week the tow package for my car showed up, so husband spent the next couple of evenings installing it. He's kinda handy like that. We got everything together & done, so after work on Thursday we headed out, around 6:30ish. towing Simplicity's trailer. My Avenger towed the trailer without any trouble, even up the mountains. We arrived in Anacortes at 3:30am. We threw everything on board and had a couple of brews to unwind, and slept for a couple for a couple of hours. The Captain woke up @ 7:30ish to take the trailer to Oak Harbor, ride the transit back to Cap Sante, so we could sail Simplicity down to Oak Harbor, pull her out, on her trailer, and be able to leave her stepped, in case we are able to come up and maybe go sailing. And then it happened, BOOM. All the planning, gone. It wasn't so bad though. It was time to whip out the 'ol 'plan B'. The Captain has a pocket full of 'em.    bunkmate
