This moderation in the weather (as in 30 degrees warmer this week than
last), has given me a major case of spring fever.

So I dug both boats out of their respective snow banks this morning
and parked where they belong - in the driveway. The Ranger is aring
out as we speak and I just returned from taking the Princecraft down
to Stonington for a quick ride around the harbor.

COME ON SPRING!!!

WHOO HOO!!

Same here.............50 F and sunny. ;-)

I bought the Garmin for my birthday gift...........not a bad deal for $240
(including shipping) especially since it is brand new and comes with
everything I needed.

I will probably get the boat out of the storage yard at the end of the
month.

After making the decision to buy a GPS/Sounder/Chartplotter, I would
want to make it as easy possible to read.

No ice in Stonington, but there was a lot on the Pawtucket River
entrance over by the Westerly Yacht Club

I would agree with that.
