Down in the south we have cures for Mosquitos (chemicals) and heat (swimming or AC).<br /><br />There is no cure for cold and ice!<br /><br /><br />Ken

Re: Still Boating ?

We took the boat out to Lake Mead on Saturday and was still at least 30 boats cruising around. It was around 80s. Comparing to summer time, we have to line up to launch the boat. I think its the best time to boat now, it was way too hot under the 120s summer sun.

kenimpzoom,<br /><br />You must have lived in the south all your life!<br /><br />The cure for cold weather is, bundling up and going skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling!<br /><br />Winter can be fun!<br /><br />But I have to admitt, I envy you!

The boat has been wrapped up, pickled and put away till March!<br /><br />But, there is always the beach, where I can just drive out to, and catch all the bluefish, striped bass and cod I want!

I knew that, no need to apologise. It was taken the way you meant it anyhow.

You right, the farthest north I have ever lived is Shrieveport, LA.<br /><br />I have had a couple of skiing trips to New Mexico. The are a blast. I like to ski, but I am terrible. I love the snowmobile. But I wouldnt want to live there.<br /><br />The main problem is, you have fun doing those things, you sweat, you stop, you freeze. I hate that. Plus the cold makes my nose hurt.<br /><br />We are spoiled down here. The summers are hot, but you get used to it.<br /><br />Ken

Re: Still Boating ?

I also was out yesterday. Just a couple others. Just how I like it. I will wait till they call for a freeze then I will button it up for the winter. Till then I will be riding.That is a nice thing about having it in the back yard.

Re: Still Boating ?

The boat NEVER gets put away. Up here in Canada(on the west coast) we hardly get snow. <br />I just put in some stabil and start the boat up every month or so(if I have to). <br />I go boating in Dec. and Jan., but MAN is it COLD!<br />Die-hards never quit. :D
