Putting The Boat to Sleep

It is the time of year to put the boat to bed here in Maine.  We tried to eke as much time as possible on the water this year, but it just was not meant to be.  In July we set rain records and never got on the boat once during that month.  We did cruise for the first two weeks of August and it was absolutely heavenly.  But now is the time to empty out the cupboards, take down the curtains, radar and other things that might get moldy during the long winter months, set up the frame and have her shrink wrapped until spring.  So I went over the boatyard and we filled up the van on this fabulous fall day.  Didn't do that until I made a couple of loaves of sourdough bread using the Rustic Sourdough Bread recipe at King Arthur Flour and they turned out fabulous.  I also made Sally's Pumpkin Dip from Maine Food and Lifestyle blog for a ladies cocktail hour I was invited to tonight.
