Seasonal Sailing for us means that for much of the year, our boat is on-the-hard and the water is FROZEN!  We happened to buy Saros during prime winter tundra time, which meant we did some shopping while waiting to get aboard.  Today we share our haul - time will tell if we needed everything we got, but this is everything we thought we should have for our new adventure.
