It seems like all boaters start getting boat fever in January and spring can never get here fast enough. Last week I began the de-winterization of Erattik. She needed a hull cleaning and the sacrificial zinc anodes replaced.

Since SurfYourName.com owns the Virginia Boating website, www.VaBoater.com, we decided to document the process. There are still more projects we plan to complete this spring and summer with our project boat Erattik, so more articles are coming!
