Damn...it's so far away.

This is my first year with the boat. So far the winter has felt loooooooonger than normal. Our lake will probably be frozen until June with these temps. :evil:

Like John, still frozen in the slip. Hope to be floating free by 3rd week of March, might be a bit cold to go out though.
