Well, it’s getting closer to the season. Winter is starting to relax its icy grip on everything from harbors to boat covers. Granted it feels a little early still, but it’s a good time to start planning ahead. A checklist of necessary products, covering everything from boat paint to electrical spray, always comes in handy. Right now, some marine retailers are running sales to encourage pre-season purchases. Local workshop and speaker events can help get you in the mood, while staying out of the brisk spring winds. It won’t be long before you’re behind the wheel once more.
