Alas, my boat is on the hard, a few hundred yards away from water that is

least three months hence.

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.
