Winter Cruising

The days of summer are gone for this year. It was a great summer for nice hot weather and the best boating season for a while.

Now it’s time to winterize and make sure that if you cruising the winter season you have on board what you need.

Good fuel and a clean tank is a must.

Although it is great cruising in the winter you really want to make sure that your engine is running well, the filters are changed and no problems will arise. Winter boating is more serene with fewer tourists to take up all the favourite anchorages.

It’s my favourite time to cruise. There’s no one around and basically, you have the best places to yourself.

You really need to be self-sufficient in the winter. Make a list of what you need in the way of filters. A good 10-micron filter can get you back home if you run into bad fuel, a dirty fuel tank or weather that makes the fuel wash all the bacteria from your tank interior into the fuel – shutting you down.
