Is anyone dropping their boat in this weekend for our first warm weekend? It is going to be in the mid 80s away from the coast in Massachusetts. We will go to a local lake.

Enjoy the long overdue warm weather. We launched last weekend, and will be spending the weekend on the water for sure. Not in New England, but here in Michigan. It sure has been a long dreary off season. Can't wait to get out again.

Ours is due for splash down today; tomorrow at the latest. I think Sunday is going to be a great day for a cruise after the work is done.

Oh, the list I have to get her ready.. I am looking at 2 weeks until splash..

But by then I wont have to worry about the freak snowstorm, freezing rain, or wind storm... (ok, maybe a windstorm)

Welcome to the wonderful Chicago weather!

3 coats of VC17 on the bottom buffed and wax on the topsides. Clean the carpet and make the bed and were all set to go. Now if they just have the marina back together we'll be floating this weekend.

I saw your boat last year while we were looking at marinas. We ended staying with Brewer. We came from the Deep River marina. It is the marina just before the train bridge. Just got home from a very warm start to the year

You will love Mystic; easy to get to Block or Greenport. We dingy up to Mystic Center for dinner when we are at home port. Great day today we blew off the cobwebs with a trip to Stonington Burrow then into Watch Hill today. Not many boats in the water yet; that will change soon enough. Stop by and say hi.
