A gray last day of October.

That moon has a sad face.

What a mini vacation I had, from Sunday night till Thursday noon. Ever try to use up a tank of gas. It just would not empty. I went halfway to littlemark and back around Echo Point on Sunday afternoon. Monday I went to almost Sandy Point and back North of Echo Point.tuesday not much. But Wednesday my son and I went north of Rattlesnake and could not believe the calmness of the lake. We took the dock out on Wed. and got some pictures of the pontoon boat with a roof. Thursday I took the boat to Alton Bay to put it too sleep but the individual to meet me was not there. I was in a mixed up not knowing what to do. But eventually in mid afternoon I got ahold of tthe guy and told him he had to go get the boat. He did and the boat is in for what could be a long winters nap. In all that time I only saw one boat underway and that was a tow boat that was going to a long winters rest as well. Okay fish, for the most part the lake is all yours.

Too bad you couldn't have sent the excess gasoline down to us in NJ instead of just burning it off. 75% of the gas stations here in northern NJ either don't have any gas or they don't have power to pump. There are 2-3 hour waits in line for gas, and today they won't even fill 5 gallon gas cans for those of us with generators. Cars only. It may be another full week before the power is back for those who are out. My 80+ year old parents have a generator, but they have less than 8 gallons of gas left. The power company promises to have them back on line by 11/9 after first saying 11/5. I've heard that gas stations 50 or 60 miles north of here have some gas, but who wants to risk driving that far and using what little we have left.

This afternoon was another beautiful fall day on the lake. Yes, it was a bit windy and we didn't venture far from the bay, but any day of November boating is a day to be thankful for

I worked outside today in Southdown. It was downright cold.
To sum it up I'd say a lot windy, mostly cloudy, stocking hat weather with 5 layers, poly shirt, long sleeve shirt, sweat shirt, fleece and wind breaker and I was up and down ladders painting a house.
I could not fathom it being a nice day to be on a boat even with tops unless it had heat, and I lots of alcohol.
But to each their own.

Fleece...sweatshirts...hoodies...gloves....Perfect November boating attire....My wife commented that if it was this windy when we were skiing, she would head back to the condo. But a windy day of November boating....Priceless. After all, this may be it for the season....gotta treasure these moments when we have them.
