Things are starting to get busy in West Michigan

I splash the 27th if the doors dont get locked again. Our marina (storage marina) bay harbor in baycity michigan, was apperantly sold a couple weeks ago to a corporation i dont know which one but i hope its better than the last guy that just kept raising prices to accomodate his lifestyle.

Of course water transmits covid until they prove otherwise. Michigan COVID-19 Mandates Permanent.
Now in Milwaukee with a marina in a public park. Employees are onion, errr or I meant to say union. The golf courses are open, sell food & Drink. Beer venues in parks open. The marina opens tomorrow not a drop of liquid to be found and can not get any extra passes ( to reduce gatherings ) and we will see about ice?
 
I won’t be surprised, but. There is a damn big difference between TRYING and DOING.

Don’t exaggerate.
 
I'd be more worried about the overnight temps the next two nights :)

If I were in the water already I'd probably be spending the next two nights on the boat. Though the water is in the 40's by now (I assume) air temps in the 20's would make me a bit restless...
 
From what I read, the CDC says our flu numbers dropped a lot last year.
Mask supporters will claim it was better hygiene, masks, and lockdowns.
Others will claim flu was counted as COVID.
Either way, I fully expect that once the COVID issue is resolved, controlling, fearful, power loving politicians will try to extend these mandates because flu is also a killer of their age group.
Power is never given up easily.
Limited government is only answer.

I have never had an issue with these cold snaps in our area. The plumbing does not freeze in the short time the temps are in the 20s. If you want to be absolutely certain, start the engines and let them warm up to full temps before you go to be bed. I used to occasionally runs a small disc furnace at the helm to keep the cockpit warm but even that was unnecessary. So much of the hull is sitting in 45 degree water that the boat stays well above freezing for the 6 hours or less the temps fall below freezing. Sleeping on the boat this time of the year is a great experience.
 
We did last weekend. No worries at all. My only possible worry would be the bridge freshwater and A/C system, but I can't imagine they get cold long enough to freeze solid.

You can always turn the A/C reverse cycle air on. If you look closely you can see mine was running when this picture was taken in early April. Not much heat to come out but was able to keep things in the 60s with temps in the 30s, and that was with a big aft cockpit.

True. Mine was on all weekend. It keeps my bridge pretty warm. In fact during the day the canvas glass warms my bridge up like a heater if its sunny.
