We also had the last ride of the season, and I too, noticed that there all still a lot of boats at dockside. Quayside is far from empty, and their deadline is Monday, for getting boats out. The forklift operator is going to be one busy guy over the next few days.

It was a beautiful day when we went out as the picture shows, and not a sole on the lake. It was however 52 or so degrees out. Love the lake this time of year but with two hockey schedules to work around every weekend boating was no longer an option 😔

Hmmm. There maybe something about the dressing in winter clothing just to be out on the lake!! Oh and many performance boats have no windshields and the ones that do have them they do very little at keeping the wind off more then your face.
Many boats have enclosures as do we but even my wife has come to the conclusion that it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense when it is below 60 degree's, and she loves to be out on the lake, relax and read a book.
Last weekend and this last week especially, there has been a lot of wind.
I have been working outside with 3 layers on and a wind breaker just to stay warm while working on Merrymeeting Lake where Friday and Saturday the winds were howling all day.

there are a number of weeks and some say months before we have to hang it up for the winter. It is very quiet out on the lake, but it's beauty still shines.

Then we can watch the forum for the Ice OUt and next spring.
