Well -- with a week-end to die for (weather wise) we finally called it quits

Now the oficial mourning begins and will probably last a good 6 months as the boat sits on a lonely rack with nothing to do but compare experiance's of the summer past with the boat racked on eithor side.

All in all -- another great season !! 135 hours logged in on the hour meter this season (down from 155 last season) -- take THAT all you folks who want to claim I'm a "tourist" from Masssachusetts !! and that doesn't include all the hours anchored at sandbars or parked at the Town docks while supporting the local economy...... Don't get me wrong -- We love it here.

For those who haven't pulled yet, I found out an astonishing fact this week-end

With the debate on where to leave your fuel level now that Ethenol has been introduced into the gas -- I found out (from the serv mgr at our Marina) that no Ethenol added fuel has been used on the lake -- it still remains MTBE. Evidently, all the fuels north of Manchester are delivered from Portland versus the Revere, Ma facilities ---- Portlands fuels have "yet" to convert. So leave your gas tanks where-ever (full / empty / 1/4 tank, whatever).
