The Temperature is Dropping - Is your Winterizing Done ?
Fresh water winterizing should be done ASAP since fresh water will freeze before salt water. The traditional  method for winterizing the fresh water system is to pump out all water from the tank(s), add non toxic pink
propylene glycol antifreeze (AKA pink stuff) and pump it through every faucet, spigot, shower and toilet.
If you have an aversion to the smell, feel and taste of pink stuff, you can drain the tanks and use a small compressor set on low (25 - 30 lbs) pressure and blow the lines clear of water. First blow air from the pump to the tank to make sure the feed lines are clear. Then connect the compressor to the output hose of the water pump and methodically open each fresh water outlet individually until every outlet is blowing air with minimal spits of water.
Pay attention that you get every single outlet and all systems that use fresh water to insure nothing is overlooked.
Systems include:
Fresh Water Tanks
| Water Pumps
| Filters & Strainers
| Expansion Tanks
| Fresh Water Manifolds
| Hoses
| Faucets and Showers
| Cockpit Washdowns / Showers
| Ice Makers
| Fresh Water Toilet Feeds
| Shower Sump Tanks and Hoses
| Holding Tank

2015 Summer Cruises
Have you secretly harbored a desire to do some cruising but prefer not to travel solo or aren't sure how to start? Let the cruising experts at Norwalk Cove and Rex Marine make it easy for you... Introducing our CRUISING CLUB !We envision some simple raft-ups and overnights, including more elaborate multi-day  cruises. Throw in some seminars that will cover in detail what you will need to know, and we have some happy boaters with new found skills and knowledge. Small or large boats, power or sail - it doesn't matter... Do one cruise or do them all, let's have fun! The First Cruise: A Saturday afternoon raftup in Oyster Bay. Come for the afternoon and head home before dark or anchor out and spend the night. No dock, no hotel, just us on our boats, on an anchor, under the stars. The Second Cruise: Leave Norwalk Saturday for a destination like Port Jeff, where we can stay on the dock and have a nice dinner ashore, followed by open house boat party on the dock for those who wish to participate. Anyone not wishing to stay on their boat could get a room ashore. The Third Cruise: Leave Norwalk Friday PM or Saturday AM for the Connecticut River and Essex. Open house party on the dock followed by dinner ashore as a group or individually. Again, rooms ashore as required. Sunday return. Sound like fun to you ? Interested in joining us ? We need your feedback and comments. Please email Capt. Rick at Rex rdelfosse@rexmarine.com with comments, level of interest, and ideas. Please include your boat name, size, type (including power or sail). Based on your feedback, we'll plow ahead and start making plans and get back to you with the proposed itinerary. We want to try to get things reserved before the Holidays if possible to lock in the dates for group dockage, dinner reservations, and optionally, hotel rooms. We look forward to hearing from you!
