Winter dreaming....
 
It's 10 degrees outside, and will get to 1 or two below tonight. And I
remind myself, that we only have to put up with about another 90 days
or so of this stuff, before it's time for me to dig out the boats.

Every time I go into the warehouse and look at them, I'm reminded of
how long the winter seems but actually how fast time really flies by.

Sometime (hopefully) in the near future, I'll be able to look at them
and say. "Ok, guys, lets go for a ride!"


C'mon Spring!

It's cold here, too! 16 this morning, not going to get above freezing
today, got a little snow, which thawed on the roads, then froze into
ice.

I have this nightmare on occassion in which Winter lasts for 9 months
and the landscape is perpetually, interminably snow-covered. It's
hard to imagine that there are peoples that actually spend their lives
in that environ.

I'm with you. C'mon Spring!

J. I just saw a couple people pulling boats north to probably go
fishing at CIPS lake.

When I see that I just want to shake my head in disbelief.

I didn't to think to check the local motel when I drove by this
morning. But, you'll see boaters spending the night at the motel all
through the winter. It's a popular lake. But you're right, Tim.
They're diehards. I'll wait until March before I launch!

Yeah, it's a popular lake, but this time of year, so is hypothermia!

*UGH!*


Yes, March. Time for the washing and waxing and general pre-
maintenance for April.

I like it cold, dreary, and damp. That's why I live in Halifax. Well,
that and I like all of the crime we have heehee!

The crappie will be biting like crazy at KY Lake in March. I'm going
to sneak down there for a weekend near the end of March. (The boat at
Town & Country Marina will need to be de-winterized, too.) And the
mushroom hunting in the Jonathon Creek area is pretty good around that
time.

I like CIPS, too, to be honest. I caught a 4lb bass this last summer,
and it was my only outing on the lake. And, it's a scenic lake, too.

C'mon Spring!


I'll be out on the boat this weekend. Forecast highs for this weekend are
in the low 70' s . Probably see a couple of wakeboarders out on the lake.
Great time of year for it. Very little traffic on the water. Mostly just
fishermen and a few people like me enjoying the sunshine and cool days.

Dreaming is the key word there!

I'll be getting my new boat cover soon, and putting it on the boat
will be the only 'boating related' activity anytime soon.

My brother spent 3 summers in Antarctica at the American base. He tells
about -50f summer storms. While other times was very pleasant.

49f.

I saw your post. I've always thought those Hobie pedal kayaks were pretty
cool. The flippers kind of remind me of a penguin swimming underwater.
Pretty efficient propulsion. I'd like to try one sometime. They're not
cheap, though. They get a pretty good buck for them. But I like the idea
of having both hands free for holding a camera or a beer.

He bought a used Revolution. Narrower boat. He is a lot smaller than I am.
I am thinking of buying his Outback. You can get them for about $1450 new.
The dealers can not advertize discounts, but they give them. He wants 12
for his.
