Water temp is 61 degrees right now. Earliest I've ever been able launch yet. Unfortunately no sailing this evening—- learned my lesson the hard way about what a pain that Quantico boat ramp is when it's windy.  :o

Mashed a finger last year trying to hold the boat off the pier. Plus some pretty disconcerting boat to pier thumps and bangs.  :-*

Air temp was much warmer, Dan, in the 70s. Almost didn't need the waders. Now for some trailer updates including pinching the bunks closer together in the front as you recommended a couple months ago.

Congrats Frank! 61° sounds good for this time of year. Hopefully you'll be able to sail soon.

Um, they make these things called fenders ...  ;D

J/k, hope you're all safe and sound in the slip now.
