What date do you think you will be out on the water in 2010?
I hate this snow. Have an O/B boat available to me, first nice day I'm going back out for a cruise. Hopfully I wont have to wait until March or April to do it.

Also have an old slow Chris Craft cruiser, my "knock around boat". LOL. I use a high end bilge heater so I don't have to winterize motors. Hoping to take a slow leisurely putt on the Magothy River on New Year's Day. I'm thinking it might start 2010 off on a better note.

Hey Rob,

Happy Holidays to you & yours. Back issues getting worse. Had 5 more surgeries. Don't know how much more Go-Fastin I can do anymore. Just might have to do the Go-Slowin route sooner than later. Kinda holdin on but only had Cafe out maybe 5-6 times last year. But 5-6 times is better then ZERO.

BTW: how's the 20 footer coming along? Can't wait to see finished pics. Are you going to rip up the Chesapeake with it?

Sorry to hear that, main thing is that you get out. I'm still looking at a few places, some on the Magothy and a couple on the bodkin. hopefully about spring. the 20 is coming along fine, we held of a bit as the car business calmed down for both Dave and I, but it will be done this winter, only about another 20K, 95% of parts bought, just assembly and rigging now. The Tiger is at Dave's for winter, ran flawless all summer, you have a ride with me anytime you need to go fast! have a safe new year!

I watched a few duck hunters plowing through the ice the other day, forward and backward for about 30 minutes. Thats a little to hard core for me. I was however on my dock today if that counts.

Hey Randy, come up to Aquia Creek and break thru the ice and pick me up. Or we can have a drink out on my dock.
