Rummy:

The "yard" I was referring to is the boat "yard".  I have a slip at Herrington Harbor North in Deale MD on the Chesapeake Bay.  It's about a 45 minute drive from DC and I have been pretty happy with the location that offers direct access to the Bay. I don't have a trailer and will have HHN lift my boat out, spray down the bottom and then store her on jacks until spring.  I came to Catholic University in DC in 1979 and pretty much ended up staying here.  We bought our first house on Capitol hill on its 100 year anniversary in 1986.  The row house was "renovated" in the 1940's into a rooming house and as young newlyweds my wife and I spent about five years tearing the place apart and rebuilding it from the inside out.  Our "yard" on Capitol hill was a 16' x 8' pile of wood chips out front and a concrete patio out back.  No grass to cut.  We moved closer to my office in the "rich" part of town about ten years ago.  Our current house is on a dead end street across from public park land, lots of trees and hiking trails, still no grass to cut.  It's interesting how you can be in the city with all the hustle bustle but within a few blocks can be in a wooded residential area with deer, raccoons, possum, fox and owls.  While walking my dog last night we were stared down by a fox in the middle of the street. Palisades is a nice neighborhood and I have enjoyed having my office here.

Chris,
 
I didn't know homes in the DC area had enough area to store a boat. You  
must live in the rich NW part of town. :) My sister used to live not to far 
from  your office. She was on Fulton Street in Palisades. I've driven past 
your office  many times. You have a very famous outdoor stairs just down the 
street.

Thanks.  My boat will be on stands in the yard,  not too many trees nearby 
and I will make sure they provide some slope to the  rear.

Chris,
If you store your  boat out in open without a tarp, be aware of how it 
drains.  You have to  raise the bow quite a bit to get water to flow to the aft 
drains.  Then  leaves plugging the seat drains becomes an issue.  I've never 
used  antifreeze.  I've had water collect and freeze in the cockpit (tarp  
leaked and boat not slanted enough) and water freeze in the bilge and it  
wasn't a problem.  In both cases the water had room to expand when it  froze.  
Now I don't recommend that approach, but water freezing on a boat  does not 
necessarily mean disaster. - rob

Elle:

I went down to  my boat on Friday and put extra spring lines on due to the 
wind and high  tide.  The wind and rain was pretty constant for several days 
due to  Ida.  Sunday was a beautiful sunny and warm day and I spent most of 
it  taking everything off my boat to prepare for winter.  My bilge has been 
 bone dry all season however on Sunday I found a couple of buckets full of  
water in the bilge.  My Port side cushion was also pretty soaked.  I  have 
had a slight drip at the rail thru deck fitting throughout the season and  
used some silicone sealant on the rail and shrouds were they penetrate the  
deck.  I think the water in my boat is from the rain and while it is  
dripping at the rail thru deck fitting I think it migrates from another thru  deck 
fitting to this location.  I plan to have the boat hauled in a  couple of 
weeks but will still need to keep an eye on rain water so it doesn't  freeze 
and cause damage in the bilge and or lazaret.  Do owners put  antifreeze in 
the bilge and laz!
aret during the winter?  I don't plan  to tarp my boat.  Is the compartment 
directly around the centerboard  trunk the only bilge area or are there 
others?  There appears to be a  small space below the holding and water tank 
but that appears to be about  it.

Hi, guys,
Here's a boat  item...!
After the rain I found mega water in my boat....in the bilge &  in the port 
side compartment at floor level. Deductive reasoning (ha) led me  to think 
that there was a problem with the hole for the pennant. I found what  
appears to be a crack in the hole that the centerboard pennant leads through.  
Looking inside, I saw that a wooden support for under the companionway opening  
was wet....and so was the floor & the bilge was full.
Here afe  pix...what is the consensus...and will cleaning out the crack, 
opening it  slightly  & caulking it w/ LifeCaulk or one of its cousins solve 
it  or am I in for a lesson in fiberglass??
Here are photos; the last few are  remnants of the storm...
thanks for any and all  advice...
