Getting close!
 
I'm counting down the days as well. Need it to warm up enough to for the boat to be unwinterized then it's time to schedule the surveys then the transport and get the boat to my marina. Hoping first week in April I will have the boat.

Had to dodge some ice, but was on the water last weekend. Planning to hit it for 3 days again next weekend as well. Where there is a will there is always a way. Believe I am one of if not the farthest north of all the members on here?
 
My god, back in day, had a 10’ zodiac; 8hp mercury, went out on the sassafras in middle winter, had clean snow off pier to inflate, CG comes up and says what you doing. I was cruising. Memorable! That’s boating boys!!

I sea trailed a dinghy last November in flurries up here in Michigan. I'm too old to be that cold while boating for fun :)
 
I hope I didn’t make mistake. Launch is April 1. It’s March 1 and damn cold, so much do before launch, I think I pushed it.
Never! March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb remember? You’re fine. Just bundle up!

Do you prefer Crazy Tuna over River Watch? We usually hit up the watch for lunches / happy hour since their T-Docks usually have more space... I have not been to the tuna yet, but will be looking for additional happy hour spots.
 
BTW, heading to the boat (in water) this weekend to put the canvas enclosure up and start prepping to bring her back from Rock Hall to Middle River, which I plan to do in the next couple of weeks hopefully.

Funny thing: I go to the Crazy Tuna on my boat, and to Riverwatch on my bike. I think food is better at the Tuna (I'm partial to their spicy shrimp tacos). And my wife likes the $5 price of their crushes....
 
I am ready to move back to my slip next week or so, I want to water temp to come up a bit so I can run the heat without freezing it up. Right now it's 43 and that's too cold to run the heat for long. But we're almost there!
 
We like the Tuna better than RW can’t say why, more comfortable at Tuna. But Tuna tiki bar only has about 20 seats (less with social distance). We early risers, so when it opens weekends, we already got grocery store done, boat cleaned, and docked there at 11:30. But Sunset Cove at Maryland Marina is really nice with a huge floating pier. We like that too.
 
Got the canvas on the boat Sunday. Engine work almost complete by the marina (risers, manifolds, fuel pumps). Hopefully be able to start up the engines (which have not been done since the sea trial in Oct) and do a test run in a week or 2 at the latest. Then bring her home to Middle River. Getting excited!
 
Read in Bay magazine today, the coastline of the bay is longer than Wash, Ore, and Calif combined. Amazing

Yeah, that's every river, tributary and estuary a very inundated coast line. Read the same article, pretty crazy.
 
I booked my new heated winter storage today for next winter.... can’t wait... Let the new count down begin :)
