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. http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap178s/ I will probably get the boat out of the storage yard at the end of the month. |

I would have to step up and buy the color version for a few dollars mo http://gpsonsale.com/MarineGPS/Marin...GPSMAP178C.htm 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 We have a saying he "Ice is for drinks". I would agree with that. |
