:cry:

Still have snow cover and 10-12" of ice. Snow was gone until we got 13" a week ago...not cool!

On a positive note, my launch pass has been ordered and should arrive any day. Free launches for 1 year :mrgreen: (with a one time $75 fee), but I just reduced my boating expenses leaving more money for gas...

No Txjole, that doesn't make us "stiff water" suffering peoples feel any better........ :wink:

Not much snow left here, but a cold snap has kept the ice from getting any thinner on the lake.

Just renewed our slip at the marina for this year today. Price stayed the same at $655 bucks for the season. :mrgreen:

Just think of my gas bill and my bar tab from my favorite patio on the water.

It has been cold and rainy here; we take delivery and our boat gets launched on April 19th. Good thing we opted for A/C and HEAT!!

The PA ground rat never saw his shadow and spring was said to be just around the corner; can’t tell that by our weather.

Paradise, I've been out a couple of times in OK. But as a wakeboarder, it's been a big tease. Water is still COLD.

I've been told that slips on the Toronto waterfront (Lake Ontario) can run as high as 6000.00 for a 30 ft boat...OUCH!
Thats why I am where I am. No lights, no noise, no big city, just peace and quiet.

We pay 2400 in Mystic CT for the V248 that’s covers us from April to October; I guess it all about location, location, location.
