    Default Projected Last Day on the Water

    With all the talk of winterizing and winter storage (BTW, it's 91 deg. F here right now), I thought it would be cool to ask everybody to try to project your last day on the water in 2013. Remind us of where you are located.

    Mine: Tallahassee, FL, November 9. Usually too cool after that to get up a crew.

    Sadly, here in IL, I think we may have already reached had our last day last weekend............not because the weather isn't still good, just too far from the cottage in MI to go for just the day with school and other activities going on. I keep telling my wife we need to get our priorities straight!!

    Sept 22 - Vancouver, WA
    (busy the following weekend and October is getting into Winterize Mode)

    Dependent upon: Weather, My busted up elbow, Willing Victims, Commitments Wife has made without my knowing...

    63 degrees and raining here but supposed to be in 80's next week.
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

    That may be the #1 obstacle to regular boating. I try to do buddy days or kid days when that happens unless I'm the one committed. One time I found out I was pouring at a wine tasting. I said, "It better be after six."

    This Sunday I am taking my boat out of the water. Too much going on and I want to try winterizing it myself with the great instructions here on the forum site.

    Buy a damn wet suit,we will go as long as we can till the cold becomes to much that it takes the fun out of it,but we always try to have it winterized and stored before Thanksgiving.

    It's not so much the cold, it's the rain.

    When you gotta wear the wet suit when you're INSIDE the boat too...

    Well considering I just bought my new boat I am going until the wife says "absolutely not it's to cold" so my guess is first part of october?
