Speaking of "up here". I am back on the boat and the weather is
more
like Feb-March rather than May. Rainy and COLD!

Know what you mean. Almost froze while walking my dog out at York
Dedoubt
at the entrance to the harbour.

Has warmed up here. A nice 70's day. At least the wind has died down.

Mid 60's here and sunny. Mid 70's and sunny tomorrow. I should be able
to
get the boat in the water tomorrow.

This reminds me of a Spring about two/three years ago.

Nasty rotten New England late fall weather right up until July.



Sure does shorten the boating season.
Drove past two local yacht clubs and one marina on the way to the old
fort. Although the yard staff were busy launching, the vast majority of
the boats were still snug on their cradles. This long weekend (Victoria
Day) is supposed to be the official start of boating season around here.

It bothered me more when we had our larger boat because we would spend
weekends on the boat, even though the Lake may have been too rough to go out
on. I always got it done and splashed before Mother's Day.

Now that we have a smaller boat getting the boat done and in the water is
not as important, although I will get it in earlier next year as we will
have no house remodeling project as we have had over the past months.

As of last weekend, most boats at my marina were still on the hard.
