End of season
 

35 degrees here this morning.....brrrrrr It will get up around 80 this afternoon, but right this minute is a reminder that it is about time to get everything ready for winter. The project is looking pretty good considering what it started out as. I will probably finish cleaning it up a bit more and then shrink wrap it for the winter. The shop isn't heated so I will find other things to do. I'm sure there are plenty of other folks already spending less time on the water in the northern areas.

Is it just me or was that a really quick passing summer . :poopoo:

hear in illinois the season started early this year,and after this weekend,its pretty much over,going to start getting cold next week.

Still summer in SoCal, temps in the 100s today, and mid 90s all of next week.:cool:

thanks,you lucky dog:party-smiley-004:

The summer flew by... so sad :traurig001:
Taking last over nighter this weekend and then it will be time to close her up for her winter rest.

Lol, I was just saying...:rolleyes:

Btw, I think its hotter now, than it was in July.:cool:

Can you believe winter's coming quick, right?

Sad but true went for a blast yesterday flat as glass great weather!!Beware cold is coming 11/15/12 I'm done!!Or sooner!LOL

I go to Columbus day every year, last year 3 of us took a day trip and it was 75 out, so you never know but it is my cut off first sunny day after she gets winterized, then its time to think snowmobiles

I welcome the end of September here in South Florida. It means that we've probably dodged another bullet with Hurricane season (Knock on wood...Wilma hit us 10/24/2005) and the weather gets a bit drier and the days are warm. We have about 8~10 more weeks to enjoy light traffic on the roads and on the water...before our winter tourist season arrives. Boating is pretty good here during the cooler months and the seas are usually 2~4' or less unless a strong cold front comes thru. The water temp stays in the 80's up until Christmas...then it falls into the 70's until April~May.

We really don't have a down time in boating here...we can pretty much go out any month of the year.The largest Poker Run of the year....Miami to Key West is run in November and again during the Miami Beach Show in February.

After you've been here a few years you get used to 80*+ water temps and most of us locals don't go in the water at all (except a heated pool!!) when it dips into the 70's. everything is relative I suppose.
