Alright, you slackers...
Today is sunny and 74, tomorrow is sunny and 77 degrees. Spring has nearly sprung here in SC. I've got a couple of new items for the boat, and will be out on the lake tomorrow for a few hours. Who else will be boating this weekend? |

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. |

Or at least that's what I understand. Breezy Point Marina, the one I use, has very low bulkheads and parts of it often are "overflowed" at especially high tides. The property is in a marshland, and while it is grandfathered out of being zoned out of business, the county and state won't allow the owner to make really substantial improvements, so the access roads and parking areas are gravel. It's a never-ending battle for the owner, and there's always dusty gravel and potholes. You just get used to them. But, as I have stated many times, the ramps are great and deep and well-maintained, the marina store is nice, it sells all sorts of stuff, including bait and brewskis (for those who drink) and gas and diesel at reasonable prices. My marina needs for Yo-Ho aren't complicated, so the place suits us fine. Plus, it's only a couple of minutes from where we live. Also have a boat at another marina...it's a bit fancier. -- If the X-MimeOLE "header" doesn't say: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100227 Thunderbird/3.0.3 (or higher) then it isn't me, it's an ID spoofer. |

I've also heared that Western Missouri could get anywhere from 6-8 inches of snow. I hope it doesn't happen here. But I've heard mainly rain and a possibility of snow and some ice. and if it does snow, it won't last long. But I've been surprised before. |

Just got back in, and left the boat uncovered for the night (rare!). It'll be ready for us tomorrow about 1pm, and my son is coming out with us for the day. Back to the house in the evening for steaks on the grill. I made an appointment at the dealer for a pontoon cleaning and oil change next week. It's got quite a bit of growth on it from sitting in the water over the winter, and we always have it cleaned every year anyway. They have a LARGE forklift that they lift the boat up with, then pressure-wash and acid clean the 'toons. It'll look like new when we get it back, and with a couple of touchups by me with a scrub brush in the water over the summer, it'll last until next year. The big Yammie started and ran flawlessly. Looking forward to running the tank of gas out and re-filling, even though it was treated with the Marine Sta-Bil last year. The gas has been sitting lomger than it ever has in the past, as this weather prevented us from getting out much this winter. Too freakin' cold. This global warming is killing me! Jack |

Jack Good to hear you got out. Sounds like you had a great day. We have friends from Holland coming next week. I won't be ready to try to launch the boat myself, but with Adri's (my friend) help, I'm sure planning to do a little boating. He and his wife are shipping their VW camper van from Rotterdam to Baltimore. We'll pick it up a few days after they arrive. They'll stay here a couple weeks and then spend the next three months travelling. I'd like to get into the Ches Bay and do a little fishing. Even some bottom fishing for spot, perch, or croaker would be fun. I went down to the marina a couple weeks ago, and the boat looks fine. The cover took a beating, but the new one is here. Next year I'll give serious though to shrinkwrapping, especially if I get the phone number of the real cheap guy in MD that one of the poster here is always talking about. I'm also interested in seeing how this new dog of mine does on a boat. -- John H For a great time, go here first... http://tinyurl.com/ygqxs5v |

Lots and lots of bad water. Here is a report done by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, probably the major group fighting to save the bay. http://www.cbf.org/Document.Doc?id=170 It's not necessary to read the whole report, just skimming it will give a feel for the problems the bay is having. Here is a good article on some of the problems also. http://tinyurl.com/yhmqtue Obviously, pollution is the big problem, but overfishing of menhaden is also on the list. Menhaden are the basic feed fish in the bay, and they do a lot of filtering of water. But, they also make great fish oil and fertilizer. Maybe the asian carp could be a more productive source for both. -- John H For a great time, go here first... http://tinyurl.com/ygqxs5v |

IIrc these are the same striped bass that show up around here later in the season. If they are, they are known for going some 40+ miles up the Connecticut River, way beyond the salt or brakish water areas. Brown trout can live way down by the shoreline too, not sure how far they actually swim out into the Sound, but I have caught them a few hundred yards up river from the Sound.

Scotty I'm not familiar with your area. The bad is an estuary so it should be mostly freshwater. It's a huge body of water so the tides can only affect a small portion of the bay, right? |
