I have thoroughly enjoyed my first season and it is time to take Shikara out of the water at Penton Hook. Can I seek your advice about what I should be doing:
Batteries: A past post has taught me that (a) they need to come out (correct?), (b) trickle charged over winter, and (c) I need to do the maths around my needs for 07
Engine service: It's a Cortina engine... should I just do oil/filter/plug change myself?
Fuel: She will have 1/3 tank of petrol aboard, is this ok?
Defouling: Is this a pleasure of boat ownership or a task I pay someone for (a clue to my life attitude: I have a gardener)
Repairs: I believe the keel needs some patching, who do I talk to?
Keeping sane without her: Any tips?
