In the end, with our neighbor busy supporting his wife as she had their first child - a beautiful little girl - and then staying in the hospital with them until they could all come home on Wed., David was able to turn the boat-shaped-object over himself. I took on the task of covering it with the new tarp. I draped the big blue tarp over the hull end-to-end and then pinned up the sides so that they are off the ground and shouldn't catch water/snow, but still will let air circulate under the hull. She now does look like a big blue cocoon. I'll get out and take a photo and post it.
Now the winter tasks need to get queued up: joining the 2 pieces of the mast, likewise boom, preparing the tiller, preparing the rudder, preparing the daggerboard, preparing the mast-step, etc. We'll get to them, but not immediately After all, it's still fall and warm-ish and lovely out. The best time to walk in the woods, feel frosty air, smell wood smoke wafting from neighbors' homes. Time enough to work on boat items when it's hunker-down-cold out.
