Cooler is on the hard!

Post by Cooler »

Well, it finally came. End of season. Seems like beginning of season was just 3 weeks ago. I am embarrassed to say, but I only put 5 hours on CBTL. Admiral got covid twice, I got it once. May and most of June was bad weather. Gas price at July 4th was 6.40 a gallon. I can pay it, I just refuse to. End of season it was 4.50. But CBTL ran like a champ. My test of run-dry impellers is ending. While they pump a lot of water, they really struggled getting the intial season prime going. Going back to standard neoprene. Now the rest of the good news. While at the dock, I had 4 people approach me about selling. Almost took the last guy up, as I was disappointed about how much cruising I was doing. A very good friend, could not get along with the idea I was going to sell. He offered to buy 50% ownership for half of the last buyers offer. His only requirement was that when he wants to cruise, I drive the boat until he is 100% confident. No brainer. Really happy I have a built in hand for cruising. We will see you in the Forum! 8-) er

All good things must come to an end they say. For most if not all of us up here in the north the season is over. Looking now towards next season.

I am kind of marina tired. The winter escape in the Carolina's got flooded, so that is out for this year. I did book a cruise on RCL in January. Anyone who likes to cruise the Carribbean should check out their latest sales on sails. Great deals. Check the suite offerings for 1 bedroom grand suites. I was shocked at the value! We are supposed to getting snow in the next few days. Too early. 8-) er

About 120 miles north of us, they got between 8 and 13 inches on the ground. Mostly Lake Superior snow effect. Could be a snowy winter with that type of start! 8-) er
