When are you pulling out?

We are now on trailer after repairs were made to our engine by the
mechanic
at our new marina. The dumbass mechanic at our old marina not only put
in
the wrong temp thermostat but used the wrong type of spark plugs when he
tuned up the engine last summer. I will most likely bring the boat in
for
winterization in the next 2 weeks. However, if the weather holds out I
would like to do some perch fishing one last time so I may hold off on
the
engine/outdrive winterization until late October.

So how about you? ;-)


North?

No offense, but you guys down there around 41.5N or so don't know
anything at all about "north."

Try 47.6N, thank you, and we rough tough hombres here abouts will be
boating at least a little bit each month all winter!

Pulling out, indeed. :-)


Glad to see you survived from your whirlwind tour and hope you had a great
time.

To the subject at hand........

I don't own an ice breaker, nor do many boaters up here.

But even if the water was free of ice I would not enjoy taking the boat out
in temperatures below 50 degrees.

We have often wanted to fly over to Middle Bass Island on Lake Erie during
the winter to drop into a favorite pub of ours for a perch dinner with their
famous brandy alexanders.........maybe this winter. ;-)
