Where are you? My boat is in a similar situation, though only about
five meters from the frozen waters of Deadmans Bay, at CFB Kingston.

I'm about 30 miles north of Green Bay, Wisconsin ("Happy cows come
from California; Ecstatic cows live in Wisconsin"). My boat is on the
hard in Marinette, Wisconsin, on the Marinette River just across the
bridge from Menominee, Michigan. Ice usually breaks-up in early to
mid April, but it may be a little late this year what with all the
global warming bringing us sub-zero temps. But it's only mid-January,
we could always have an early spring anyway.


Ah, you're probably colder than I then. I'm in a self help club, we
all launch on the same day, rent the crane for one day, everybody
chips in,,, saves a great deal of money but fixes launch and haul days.

I'll launch early May.

You dig out from that avalanche in New Bern yet?
