Brrrrrrrrrr....cold weather boating sucks!
It was about 40 degrees when I got to the Lake Zoar boathouse of my buddy's early this am. I was about ready to go back home but it's only going to get colder. Anyway, we lowered the boat onto the lake and drove over to the ramp near the dam where Mrs. Paul (not the fishstick lady) was waiting with the trailer. It was really cold. Did I say that already? Boat is washed, engine is winterized, boat is in storage shed. Let it snow! |

Supposed to be in the mid-70s here tomorrow. My wife and I are planning a last play day on the Potomac before the boat's put up for the winter. Never got the name of Harry's $8/foot shrink wrapper, so will use a local one at a cost of $13/foot. Oh well. -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. |

We went for a picnic at the beach today on the boat.. http://esteroriverheights.com/esteroweather.jpg I like fall boating but sometimes we have early onset winter here, and I wanted to get my old boat under cover before it got really cold. Now I don't have to worry about her. I still have my newer boat in the water in LI Sound for a couple more weeks. Unless I missed it you still never said what you do with your boat. Fishing, skiing, drinking;), transport, tanning...??? My small boats are great for getting lost back in skinny water. We mostly like to camp and fish from our boat, sometimes I find a secluded place to anchor up, throw in a line, and have a couple of beers.. Oh, we do a little fishing, a little cruising, a little sight-seeing, no special agenda, whatever strikes our fancy on a given day or weekend. I bought a late 90's 32' sportfish in 2004 and spent three years and too much money "refreshing" her. I'm not a serious fisherguy, but the lines and handling of this boat intrigued me enough to buy her. |

Was out working on a new storage rack for the kayaks, and got one side welded before the rain arrived. Using some old 30' aluminum extension ladders for parts. replacing one I made out of galvanized pipe welded together. |
