This weekend is supposed to be 23C. Any bowriders hitting the water? I figure wintersux is already out there, but he is in a vista with its nice climate controlled environment.

Not a bow rider, but I'll be in May 16. I was trying for May 1, but there was just too much to do with her out of the water. I went for a walk by my marina and I would say about 70% of the boats are in, including many bow riders. I was out fishing in a bow rider April 21st - it's never too early and 23 degrees sounds like a great reason to put in!

I don't live in Ontario, but It's going in the water either tonight or tomorrow morning for the season.
I will be boating in Ontario water though. ( Niagara River) 8)

Our boat is close to the Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan border. My wife, son and I drove to our marina last evening (Thursday) to take our 328 Vista from the marina's service area over to our boat well. It was a bit of a breezy evening but we went for a boat ride out into the lake anyways before bringing her back into her well for the season.

I will try and post a couple pictures later.

Have a great 2012 boating season everyone.

Mike.

We are going to get the boat out of storage tonight... does that count?

No boating this weekend, but cleaning and waxing will be done. Hopefully on the water by next weekend.

I went in last Wednesday on the 2nd of May. Last Sunday was really nice, similar temps to what they are calling for tomorow. I took the boat out for a quick run to make sure all was working and in order, then loaded everything on we need. We are heading out tonight with two other boats for our 1st weekend of 2012 out on the hook! Looking forward to it very much.

The two pictures of our 328 on blocks in just prior to being lifted back into the water. My wife in the one photo is just finishing up some waxing at stern of boat.

The two on lake pictures were taken yesterday (Thursday May 10) during our short run out onto the lake before returning our boat to our well for the season.
