Since we had several inches of snow here in northern NJ, I've been starting to think about the Winter Carnival as well, Mac.

Are we going to have a go at the bed race this year??

Vita Bene was winterized yesterday and will be covered and put to rest for the winter tomorrow but the Shrimp (son and daughter's 1970 Viking 12' er with 8 HP merc) may take a journey out!

it will be cold but we plan to take the boat out this weekend for a cruise around the lake. Maybe make a pit stop at Lyons Den for lunch

Im hoping for a few more weekend rides before we pull it out for the winter.

two down and just the small aluminum outboard to go in anther 10 days

boat insurance policies that have a navigation period usually expire on 10-31, so if your boat is in the water and your policy has the exclusion, you may be uninsured.

Might want to check your policy

Looking at the lakes web cams looks as though there are alot of people enjoying a little more time on the water. Saw 3 boats at the public docks in Alton and 1 going by Bear cam,more power to them I am jealous.

Took a ride up to Batchelder Island today. Still warm with a few cold spots on the lake. The old gal was able to hit 65. Not bad for a 20 year old.

Now that we are turning the clock back and the days are shorter, the cold weather should be around the corner.

Nice run BH!

My son and I covered ours for the winter yesterday, it is always sad

Maybe get the 12' out this morning though its 25 degrees out now

Just after 7 this morning, about 10 bass boats zipped by at 28 degrees, having put in a Lees Mills. They were bundled up, but still looked chilly.

Formula260SS · 11-02-2008, 06:44 PM

Made a run to the island today, it was a great day ! Saw a few boats pass in the Broads. Most were larger with the canvases on

PC31 · 11-03-2008, 09:33 AM

Took the last ride on Sunday. It was cold but sunny. Only 3 boats at the Meredith docks- I love when the lake is empty. Hopefully May 1st won't take too long to get here.

VitaBene · 11-03-2008, 01:03 PM

All done- there were a few boats out and even a few jetskis- brave souls!!

Ropetow · 11-03-2008, 01:45 PM

Took a ride Saturday, but didn't get much beyond the Bay. Not a good day to get wet. Still, a nice, crisp autumn afternoon. Not sure if this will be it or not....depends on when they pull the bowrider. We've offloaded everthing, but can easily pack up the essentials for one more trip this coming weekend.....hopefully!

Pine Island Guy · 11-07-2008, 06:12 PM

Came out to the island last night. Today the lake was like glass, one lone boat went by, and one barge with a truck on it... what a perfect day, warm although a bit cloudy...

The Eastern will come out next weekend and we'll shut-down the water at the camp, but we'll have the Alumcraft till ice-in for the occasional weekend on the island!

We took a ride over to Welch today in the wife's Whaler, calm, no boats in sight, fairly warm with low clouds. We picked up a few items we had forgotten at camp then had a pleasant ride.

When we docked at Glendale to load the Whaler back on the trailer there were two men looking down at the water near the boat ramp. As we were going by, they pointed out the large number of mature salmon in the shallow water. Some really nice looking fish, we were impressed. One of the men told us that they were in to spawn and were attracted to the docks. Quite the sight.

Misty Blue · 11-09-2008, 12:50 PM

Hi gang!

We're planning to pull Misty out around the 20th leaving us with just 10 HP.
If any of you islanders forgot to turn off the refrigerator, plug in the aquatherm or left the laptop on the deck PM me. 'Glad to help.

Have boat, will travel!

Misty Blue.

Ropetow · 11-10-2008, 10:24 PM

Got out again yesterday. Nice November Sunday. Ski season and boating season getting closer and closer....
