Pat.
hate you suffering up there, so thought I would remind you of that large ,warm yellow thing up in the sky

Great day on the Bay, with my buddies from USA-11
Chased a few seals, ate fish'n'chips on the dock and then off to shoot some tourists ,cruising on Stars and Stripes.

cheers Dal

Nice shots those Dal, thanks! Those of us who are deprived (boats) and becoming depraved (cabin fever) need all the water, boats and sunshine we can get up here in the cold white north.. Now if I can only hang on for another month before I lose my sanity....

waiting for the same weather up here. Pathella, I have wanted to ask you a couple of questions, I will be in the market for a set of tubes in the future and just wanted to know how you liked the service and set of tubes you had made at demerras inflatables. I notice you had a seam blowout on your boat with the new set of tubes. Any other problems with them. Also did you order them made with the innertubes and outside tubes or are they standard like that. Any info would be greatly appreciated
thanks

We had sunny skies this weekend in Alpena. High around 40f. And the ice pack was pushed out into Lake Huron from Thunder Bay by the slight breeze. I was ready to hit it until I scouted the launch situations. ALL were iced in.

So back in the barn it went.

Damn!!!

The forecast is calling for another 12" tomorrow... Supposedly water levels are expected to be up substantially this summer!

especially from a couple a thousand miles South of there! I looked at them for a half hour and didn't even need to put on a jacket.

Sure rub it in... just had the dogs out for a run.. -26C and windy. Only 10 days to Grenada!

Ten days is no time at all. I hope you locate someone colorful to perform your ceremony. My last rites ubhahda correction, last ceremony was conducted by a guy known as the Liquor Vicar as he also ran a spirits shop in town. The one before that was administered by the "Faster Pastor" as he rode a motorcycle everywhere. I got in trouble right off with the last one as the Liquor Vicar and I need to finish out a spirited game of ping pong and delayed the ceremony. Let's get our priorities sorted out right from jump street, I say

Oddly, I know little about the ceremony.. other than it's taking place shortly after Happy Hour... hopefully a metaphor for our future together! (Yes, she is sitting right here...)

As long as the dive boat isn't late getting in, I'll be on good shape!

Winter Storm Warning tonight... expecting ice pellets, then snow with 20 - 25 cm accumulation by tomorrow.

I'm thinking my lake is going to be topped up finally after dropping the past decade or so...

The ambient temp here this morning is -27C (-16F) with the windchill making it feel like an ambient of -38C (-36F). Boat & motor are still in storage...

It's about sixty out here but the whole east coast looks pretty sucky weatherwise... Where the hell is our spring thaw? Temps are way off (low)averages for this time of year, Yep that global warming sure is kicking it up there!
