I am insulating windows and trying to heat with space heaters set at half
their max wattage. At some point the water will be too cold for extracting
heat.


That's a good plan. We've added a lot of weather stripping and it's
made a big difference. West Marine sells a nice little electric space
heater with a thermostat that works and a variable speed fan.

You ought to get off that RV barge and do some fishing. You're in a
great spot for flounder, sea trout and reds.


It's a good thought although our main priority is getting home at this

What do you recommend for bait?




Try this place, right near you.

I used to "refill" on bait there.

Are you planning to cut across the lake? Is there enough water?


We would if we could but water levels are too low and are likely to
stay that way at least until next summer. It adds over 300 NM to the
trip for us.
