Snug under her cover

Ariel is officially put away for the winter. The boys and I got her covered this morning. I didn't bring my camera, so no pictures, but the cover is snugger than it was last winter due to a different approach with the frame.

The other night I sewed some reinforcement in critical spots and added a flap to the rear opening to completely cover the taffrail and stern of the boat. She's looking good.

A new harness

I made a few changes to my harness design and made one for Josh. Improvements include velcro shoulder pads and seized strap terminations. I built enough adjustment into the harness to fit Jake, so Josh won't outgrow it too soon.
