Ice is out and boat comes out of storage in 10 days.

I spent the last 2.5 weeks visiting my daughter in Spain. Came back to find the weather had been much nicer here. The ice is gone off my home lake and this year it looks like I won't have to shovel out my yard to get my boat in (knock on wood).

Usually I have a healthy list of things to get done before she goes in the water but nothing pressing for this Spring.

Just waiting for the buoy draw and hoping for another prime spot in the mooring field.

It has been fairly mild here also on Long Island. The garden and yard are screaming for attention. Unfortunately we had a months long drought that took out some of our newer fall plantings. As far as the boat, well I'll have my son dump some water that has accumulated on the cover, but I doubt I'll get out before late August, as my leg heals and Physical therapy progresses. Tom, as I recall, you were very pleased with your spot last year.

How's the recovery coming Brian?

Yeah, I was pretty happy with what I got last year. My name was drawn 2nd but the first person wasn't present so I got my pick of buoys.

Will probably not get that lucky this year but I'm sure whatever I get will be just fine.
