Starting to dream about boating now.

[Flyer5]

It is getting bad. The season needs to get started already. I was dreaming they dredged the Susquehanna river and connected the finger lakes to the Chesapeake. I have property along the Susquehanna and I liked being down in the Chesapeake back in the 90s. So that is most likely the reasoning I don't remember many dreams, but this seemed so real.

Well I can certainly understand dreaming about the Chesapeake, I did for years. I keep the boat in the water all year these days. So that helps a lot as you can just go down and sit on the boat if you like and/or get some work done. We had some really warm days in Feb that allowed us to sit outside on back of the boat. Really nice to be able to do that, it really help kill the winter blues.

I would think where you are you would be off Snowmobiling on the weekends. That what we use to do when we were living on LI. Really helped a lot, when that season was over the boating one began.

'Never stopped, or at least daydreaming.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully it's not the train.

I'm 2 months away from launch so not antsy yet. I'm going to redo my front yard landscaping this spring so that'll keep me occupied.

I go in 2 weeks from Tuesday on April 4th. It’s going to be 60 here the middle of this week so hoping we are turning the corner on winter.

On the boat as I type. It’s addictive.

You don't count, you live in FL!

This weekend confirmed a long-held belief of mine: I HATE YARD WORK! Mowing the lawn is one thing; crawling around on my hands an knees prepping 400 square feet of planter is another.

Think about it a path from the great lakes direct to the Chesapeake would be awesome. LOL .But I really need to get on the boat.

All I can think about is the de-winterizing projects for the Sea Ray, coupled with building and installing a dock. Then picking up a pontoon boat 3hrs away. Unfortunately, I can’t do a thing, so I tore out a bathroom to add another project and stress. Oh, and I have a job too…..

Isn’t boating suppose to relieve stress?

Be floating in 3 weeks, maybe. I only need an hour or two to slap on missing spots of bottom paint and brush the outdrive.
Blocked in by large boats in shrink wrap so its not my call even when ready.
Picked up new hobby so I can wait a while. Not stressing yet.

28 days assuming we don't get another 12' of snow and the lake freezes over again. I flew over Lake Mi yesterday. No ice.

PS. It may be spring, but the water temp is 45. When that spring wind blows across the water and hits you, that 65 air temp means nothing. Not in a big hurry yet.

I dream about a lot of things, boating ain't one of them...

When you can't use your boat for 6 months you will. It seeps into every thought and dream.

I know you mean a direct canal, but the there is a path, it's part of the NE loop of the Great Loop.

Out of Lake Erie via the canal and down the Hudson to Delaware bay and through the C&D canal to the top of the Chesapeake.

Then why do you even have a boat? For the two hour drive each way?

It may not be the best dreams I have but my boat is certainly part of them!

At least you haven’t had to refuel yet. Fuel is still $5.49/gallon as I found out yesterday.

At least I have about 225 gallons in the tanks to start with this year.

Wow 1400 posts.... I really need to get a life.
