We have been busy the entire summer working at "Our House on the Rocks" and meanwhile our beloved Dolfin has been all alone in the Slip. Now slowly winter is approaching and we feel it'll be better to get Dolphin out of the waters of Lake Lucerne and bring it to Stefan for winter hibernation. Today will be Dolfin's swan song on the lake for the season! I can't wait to be onboard Dolfin again.. as we approach the Slip, she seems to be content swaying gently to the tune of the light waves in an otherwise calm lake.

As we set sail, Lukas hoists the Indian Flag.. calm waters, gentle breeze, sound of Dolphin sailing on the waters, the green meadows, the cow bells from a distance... ummmm.. time passes quickly and soon we arrive in Buochs. It's time to prepare the boat for storage -- take out sails, fold; lower Mast & tie down; pull out the motor et. al.. 

I pull myself up onto the side of the dock. Lukas and the crane operator arrange the slings and slowly Dolfin comes out of the water, shining in its full glory.

I will miss you Dolfin.. Sleep well through the Winter!
