Yep.

I may have to put the dingy in the water this year and use that to get around.
 
So a bad day on the water becomes....

A bad day at the marina beats a good day in the office?
 
Anything beats a good day in the office. Even a windy day like today with Caryl, waxing the boat.
 
She's such a trooper Butch. The wind can be so chilling!

Did you get her a new buffer this year or is the old one still humming along?
 
No need, the old one still works well. Besides a little elbow grease does such a nice job.
We are a little concerned about the wind. I was planning to sit on the bridge so I could watch the river all day. Now I may have to sit in the cabin.to sttay out of the weather.
 
But how will you point out missed spots from inside the cabin?
 
Went down to the marina and cut the shrink wrap off. Actually the wind helped out allot. I was planning on bottom painting but its way too cold out. Ended up changing the impellers and most of the zincs and now I am home defrosting. Hopefully tomorrow yields warmer temperatures and NO wind so I can get the bottom and drives painted. It does not look like I will make the launch for next weekend. The hull badly needs compounding and new shine. So my launch date now looks like April 12th of the 19th. I need to give tome to get someone there to do the compunding/polishing first an dI am going away to FL the first week of April.
 
Only 2 more weekends before start of the season!
 
Well I got a hold of George and he did a great job with buffing out the hull. Looks like a mirror again. Hopefully I can paint the bottom on Wednesday and see if I can get it launched on the weekend
 
Cover is off, canvas is up, bottom is scraped. All I gotta do is wash and wax the hull and I'm ready.

Oh, and now we need to get that last snowstorm out of the way...
 
Single digit countdown!!!

Kid just showed up for Easter. May have to borrow him from Mom for an hour to take the cover off!
 
M3 is on the road so consider that the throw down. Should snow very soon.
 
Hmmmm...

Thursday Night: A chance of snow, freezing rain, rain, or sleet. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Friday: A chance of freezing rain or rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Maybe that will be it then.
 
That would figure. Cover is off, drives are on, zincs changed, and tabs cleaned and primed. Need to do touch up bottom paint, spray paint tabs and a wash and wax lower half before 3/31.
