Ours is all tucked up at the side of the garage wrapped in the tarp.
Going to hang some Christmas lights off the bow rails. Nothing else we can do with the boat over winter !!!

Sadly she has been away for almost 2 months already.

The only good news is spring gets closer every day.

I figure we're 5.5 months away. Here's hoping the winter is gentle.

Cheers.

Especially when you're a new boater with a new boat mothballed away.

I winterized the last weekend of October, but then it got unseasonably warm and I almost unwinterized her a few times in November.

Alright for some !!!!
Our lakes are solid right now and unless you have an icebreaker you stay
home !!! Our boat is winterized and wrapped till spring.
Enjoy your trip. I am sure the rest of us are envious !!!

That sounds like a good idea, lunch in Burks and dinner on Ahmic Lake. Last may-june we built a much larger deck on our cottage, then it started raining.......you know the rest. I think my built in tank is the same size as yours, we only put three tanks through the boat!! I hope to put way more tanks of gas through my sled this winter, should be able to ride the trails next week......cheers

Funny !!!
Hope all went well and you had a great time.
I am currently watching hockey with the gas fireplace flickering flames at me and a couple of beers to help me concentrate on the game !!!
It is about - 16 C outside.
That's pretty warm compared to some parts of Canada but it's cold enough for me right now !!!
Windchill is not added to the above temperature.

Not Yet! Here in Southern California, I had to shovel about 6" of sunshine off the dock just to get to the boat! New Years day was 77 degrees with mild winds. No rest for the boat!
