Chris,
I have a friend, Braxton Moncure who lives not far from you on Foxhall.  
He's a rich accountant in Alexandria. My sisters house had a back yard, but 
the  only parking she had was on the street. She moved to DC in the 60's and 
had a  row house on Connecticut not to far from the Zoo. Ah, the memories I 
have as a  young lad in DC.

The "yard" I was referring to is the boat  "yard".  I have a slip at 
Herrington Harbor North in Deale MD on the  Chesapeake Bay.  It's about a 45 
minute drive from DC and I have been  pretty happy with the location that offers 
direct access to the Bay. I don't  have a trailer and will have HHN lift my 
boat out, spray down the bottom and  then store her on jacks until spring.  
I came to Catholic University in  DC in 1979 and pretty much ended up 
staying here.  We bought our first  house on Capitol hill on its 100 year 
anniversary in 1986.  The row house  was "renovated" in the 1940's into a rooming 
house and as young newlyweds my  wife and I spent about five years tearing the 
place apart and rebuilding it  from the inside out.  Our "yard" on Capitol 
hill was a 16' x 8' pile of  wood chips out front and a concrete patio out 
back.  No grass to  cut.  We moved closer to my office in the "rich" part of 
town about ten  years ago.  Our current house is on a dead end street across 
from public  park land, lots of trees and hiking trails, still no grass to 
cut.  It's  interesting how you can be in the city with all the hustle 
bustle but within a  few blocks can be in a wooded residential area with deer, 
raccoons, possum,  fox and owls.  While walking my dog last night we were 
stared down by a  fox in the middle of the street. Palisades is a nice 
neighborhood and I have  enjoyed having my office here.

Chris,

I didn't know homes in the DC area had enough  area to store a boat. You  
must live in the rich NW part of town. :)  My sister used to live not to 
far 
from  your office. She was on  Fulton Street in Palisades. I've driven past 
your office  many times.  You have a very famous outdoor stairs just down 
the  
street.

Thanks.  My boat will be on stands in the  yard,  not too many trees nearby 
and I will make sure they provide  some slope to the  rear.

Chris,
If you store your  boat out in open without a  tarp, be aware of how it 
drains.  You have to  raise the bow  quite a bit to get water to flow to 
the aft 
drains.  Then   leaves plugging the seat drains becomes an issue.  I've 
never  
used  antifreeze.  I've had water collect and freeze in the  cockpit (tarp  
leaked and boat not slanted enough) and water freeze  in the bilge and it  
wasn't a problem.  In both cases the water  had room to expand when it  
froze.  
Now I don't recommend that  approach, but water freezing on a boat  does 
not 
necessarily mean  disaster. - rob

Elle:

I went down to  my boat on Friday and put  extra spring lines on due to the 
wind and high  tide.  The wind  and rain was pretty constant for several 
days 
due to  Ida.   Sunday was a beautiful sunny and warm day and I spent most 
of 
it   taking everything off my boat to prepare for winter.  My bilge has 
been  
bone dry all season however on Sunday I found a couple of buckets full  of  
water in the bilge.  My Port side cushion was also pretty  soaked.  I  have 
had a slight drip at the rail thru deck fitting  throughout the season and  
used some silicone sealant on the rail and  shrouds were they penetrate the 
 
deck.  I think the water in my  boat is from the rain and while it is  
dripping at the rail thru deck  fitting I think it migrates from another 
thru  deck 
fitting to this  location.  I plan to have the boat hauled in a  couple of 
weeks  but will still need to keep an eye on rain water so it doesn't  
freeze  
and cause damage in the bilge and or lazaret.  Do owners put   antifreeze 
in 
the bilge and laz!
aret during the winter?  I don't  plan  to tarp my boat.  Is the 
compartment 
directly around the  centerboard  trunk the only bilge area or are there 
others?   There appears to be a  small space below the holding and water 
tank  
but that appears to be about  it.

Hi, guys,
Here's a boat  item...!
After the rain I  found mega water in my boat....in the bilge &  in the 
port 
side  compartment at floor level. Deductive reasoning (ha) led me  to think 
 
that there was a problem with the hole for the pennant. I found what   
appears to be a crack in the hole that the centerboard pennant leads  
through.  
Looking inside, I saw that a wooden support for under the  companionway 
opening  
was wet....and so was the floor & the bilge  was full.
Here afe  pix...what is the consensus...and will cleaning  out the crack, 
opening it  slightly  & caulking it w/  LifeCaulk or one of its cousins 
solve 
it  or am I in for a lesson in  fiberglass??
Here are photos; the last few are  remnants of the  storm...
thanks for any and all   advice...
