Good for you Rick. You didn't miss a thing. Weather has been cold & wet for days! The 60's ( normal temp for late April ) are finally getting here this weekend. Water level right up to the bottom of the slip finger. Access to boat is not going to be easy. Happy boating all!

Crusaders growled awake after a looonnnngggg winter's nap. Can't wait till I can get power and water on May 15. Going up tomorrow to do some more "cleaning". FEELS GREAT TO BACK IN THE WATER!

Well congrats guys, Ya'all beat me by a week or so.......I think the original estimate was not far off for you guys......this week is the 25th week from when the thread started, a long winter for us this year for sure and not just in time but lack of sun and the weather, yikes......
You guys from the south must think we are a bit whacked to spend all this money to boat for only a few short months, I will admit the thought has crossed my mind....

We got thru it though and everyone have a good and safe boating season.......have one for me.....
They just announced that great lake water levels will be at record or greater for a good part of the season. Watch out for floating picnic tables and other assorted debris.
Just have to make a cradle to fit the new dinghy on the utility trailer and we are about done except for the boat in on the 15th, I will finish the toilet at the slip, need heat to fit the hoses.
