Time to winterized the boat..
 

Gonna be in the low 30's this week.

I didn't get to finish the 23' Marquis this year But the 18' Chris Craft was always ready. Got to take it out to Carlyle lake a dozen or so times this summer. Always a blast but time to put it away for the winter.

Well it was fun while the weather held...

Waiting for the call from my dealer's service dept to come and get my 16 Xcalibur.
I'll put it at the end of the driveway up on blocks and erect the Navigloo shelter over it for the next 6 long months.

It's strange to think that even here the summers seem so short and the winters so long...

The coldest day of my life was a bright, sunny January day in 1970 in
Grand Rapids, Michigan. The wind coming off the lake was just brutal.
Don't know what the temp was.

Second coldest, at least in feeling cold, was a February day in 1990,
getting off the plane in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I was told it was 20
below zero, Fahrenheit, and that if you peed outdoors, it would freeze
before it hit the ground. :)

You could plant some winter crops in it.

The coldest two winters of my life were spent at Great Lakes Naval
Training Center.

By the way, a belated Happy Veterans Day to you.

I think you're getting me mixed up with your little BFF in CT and his Brockway Skiff.

In the mid 80's I grew a beard and told my wife I was gonna shave it off on January 1. I did. And the next weekend it got down to -23 with a 30 mi wind. Talk about a glass jaw. WOW!

Cape May in February was pretty cold too.

My brother spent 3 summers in the Antarctic as a SeaBee. Said it got -70f
during summer storms. They could not drive the snowcats as the tracks
would break due to cold. Winter, the Russians had the alcohol thermometer
freeze at -125. Coldest I think I ever felt was a bright sunny day at the
1960 Winter Olympics. Did not have warm snow boots and was about 5F. Have
been in colder weather, but better equipped.

I order parts to redo the jet drive. Two weeks and back on the water.
Would not go out this wwwkend, even if boat running. Opening of commercial
crab season, and is a zoo. Parking lots at Pillerpoint harbor has
thousands of commercial traps stacked, as well,as the ones on the boats
ready to go. Good way to lose gear if I had it out. They start dropping
on Friday, and in the dark.
