Boat still in the water?

Wetbiker · 12-02-2013, 12:59 PM

I went out for a boat ride with my neighbor on Saturday. I still have 2 skis in the water.... waiting for the ice!

Way to go!

If my water pump hadn't frozen solid last week I would still be in as well. Smith Cove came in early.

I will probably re-launch either this weekend or early next week for a day to get a few final things done.

we were up on the island last Tuesday through yesterday night... it was a pretty chilly ride back and forth last week in the Alumacraft skiff with the temp in the teen's at points! Saturday Misty Blue came out from Braun Bay and said he had to break through an inch of ice that was from shore to 30 feet beyond the end of his dock... suspecting that this week it will melt back again, but it's a sure sign that if we get enough cold/calm weather it could freeze up pretty quick...

I was chuckling about what would happen if we got socked in on the island over the weekend "hi, I'll be working remote until the ice gets thick enough to walk across to the mainland, in the meantime I'll be trapping squirrels for dinner"...

I have an awesome recipe for Squirrel Cordon Bleu if you need it...

I just may splash my little boat and head out to BI one last time.... oh yeah that's what I said last time ;-)

Would you take an Amazon drone delivery to your boat at anchor? Half an hour for delivery from time of order make this a good deal. Need a First Aid kit, an umbrella, towels and other items you might want during a day at anchor.

Instead of an address you give them your boat's coordinates from your GPS.

well...this is the latest I've ever been out on the lake while it's in liquid ( semi-liquid in spots ) form....beat last year by 3 days. It's time though...when the 4x4 gets stuck on the frozen Glendale boat ramp, and you have to hook a strap onto your neighbor's truck to pull you and your boat out, it's time to call it a year! ( Thanks J. )

We pulled our pontoon barge for the last time on Monday, its always fun boating while the snow is falling!

That ramp looks like it drops off fast! Almost bottom out the trailer?

In all of my travels around the lake by snowmobile for many years, here's a picture of a sailboat locked in Winni's ice, the only boat that stayed in the lake year round, that I ever saw!! They just pull the keel-board, and leave her in... And surprisingly, never any damage. After ice out in Spring, they'ed pull her back over to the dock and sail over the summer season...

There is a number of boats/pontoons in the water last night. Some island property owners won't give up!

I saw that as well. Most of those boats however belong to either Island Support Services or Winni Island Services. They are always the last to come out.
