Shrink wrap? You mean that stuff you use when you have too many Speckled Trout fillets left over? 
You guys where it gets cold get to save money on fuel for a few months.
We have to put out the bucks year round for fuel...
So you do have some advantages to boating year round
We will be taking the boat to a Parrothead concert event next weekend, in the cold...
Wish us luck...

No shrink wrapping for me! And with a full camper/Delta canvas, I can enjoy my boat in any weather except too much wind or too foggy. During those times, I just hunker down in my slip and enjoy watching Mother Nature do her thing!
Well shrink wrap or not, my boat club has no docks in the water and the large raft with a winch used to pull chain up is sitting in middle of the ramp. Its the first to go in and last to come out. Boating is over for us on the Hudson. Winertizing engine tomorrow.
We went to Buffalo in April and all the floating docks were up on the bank.
I have never saw anything like that in my life.
There was a few boats on the water, but there was still floating ice chunks on Erie and the rivers.
Saw a lot of nice boats up on all the marina's though...

Our boat club has 8x20 mains stacked 4 high everywhere and fingers where we could find room in addition to the boats. Here on the Hudson the anchor chains need to come off the docks and are dropped into the water only to be found in the spring by lead chains (hooked to the anchor chains). Its a big job to take docks in and out and takes many people and one or two payloaders with booms to lift the docks. But it also gives us time to inspect the docks and fingers and repair what is needed. But you are right, its an interesting sight to see docks stacked higher that you can reach everywhere.

Hay rduhon we had to install our isen (Sp.) glass this weekend because of the cold front. Made the cockpit warm for our cruise today. We may keep it up through the end of Feb. or middle of March. Is that what they call "shrink wrap" up north.
We have a 28 year old cover we use over the back of the boat.
It isn't canvas, it is a slick plastic coated canvas stuff with windows sewn into the back of it.
We use this in the winter when we go out looking at Christmas lights around the lakes.
The shrink wrap I saw way up north looks like white plastic wrap.
I have seen it on boats that are on the interstate being transported.
