Today is sunny and 74, tomorrow is sunny and 77 degrees. *Spring has

Who else will be boating this weekend?

I wish I was there. Here in IL. it's suppose to rain and possibly snow
Sunday. But unil then, I've got my small boat ready to hit the lake
when it warms up to a consistant basis, and will be prepping the big
boat to do at least a three-day *river cruise later on in the summer.

It's nice to see an attempt for a boating thread. . It beats watching
people insult each other, especially over nothing.

I visited my local marina. The owner and his contractors are rebuilding
the docks alongside the ramps, doing a bit of dredging at the far end,
moving gravel, replacing electricals at some of the slips, et cetera.
The ramps are usable. Saw at least a couple dozen guys scraping the
bottoms of their boats, painting, et cetera.

*Sure* signs of spring, finally.

Good to hear it, Harry. Yeah, the people over at the main marina at
Carlyle Lake are making a lot of overdue improvements, and really
cleaning the place up. It was nice to begin with, but they're putting
concrete in the yard and getting rid of the dusty gravel and pot holes
they've had for years. There is jsut sort of a sinking feeling to get
your sial boat all gussied up, only to come back a couple weeks later
to launch it from the hard, only to find that it's covered with lime
rock dust. Not to mention that if it rains you have dust streaks
runnign down the sides.

They have some members who have some pretty nice craft there, and I
think they were complaining. Or at least that's what I understand.
