jokes on you, that is the perfect season down here, water is like bath water, usually glass calm, and oh yeah i almost forgot the best part, we have the Bahamas a very short boat ride away! :)

This works for me! I guess June, July and August will be when I work on the boat because it'll be too hot to boat. :party-smiley-004:

I don't know about everyone else but I know that I and another forum member had out boats out 2 days ago here in central Ohio. Such die hard boaters we had to have someone stay on shore to back out trailers down cause the docks were pulled. 24hrs later it was snowing. Talk about cramming in a winterization at the last minute.

Sooooooo how many southern boaters go out in 40 degree weather... if it ever gets that low.

That's it . I'm going to call the potus and see about getting a law signed to stop this discrimination and harassment of northern boaters . I will also be in contact with DHS to see about directing a blast of cold artic air from our Canuck friends to you coldafoabs in the deep south . Chant it....coldboatrights , coldboatrights , coldboatrights......:whistle: :lolhit: :angry-smiley-038: Glassdave says UP YOURS !!

Yall make me sick! ....I can't wait for retirement!! About 6 years to go (telling myself to just hang in there for a bit longer!)

I've never been down to where you guys are at - but would like to visit sometime. We go to Daytona every Feb for speedweek, then Panama City a couple times a year (easy 1 day drive). I will be living in Florida one of these days!

Proper way.....tow it to FLA and keep boating :)

I'm with ya bro. Just put my last one away the day before yesterday just before the cold snap got to us.

I know all these comments are made with compassion, we were in the same position several years ago, but I said fock the cold weather and quit and sold everything but the boat and moved.....................as far South as we could go without getting into the Keys.
The warm weather and blue water will still be here when you guys are ready and we'll have the beer cold for you.

What fun is boating in November if no one else is out there? The SW is weird, you guys could boat all year but no one does. Currently I am only jealous of South Florida

Last Summer we stayed down here for the whole Summer and it never got into triple digits, I think the hottest it got was 98, but the year before when we still lived at LOTO, we had over a month from mid July to mid August of 100+ with high humidity, I don't know where everybody gets their info, but it ain't so........................................time to go back out to the pool.

Now, with that being said we are looking to get a condo back at LOTO, but that's just to visit and hang out with our LOTO friends from Memorial Day to Labor Day, then it's South back to paradise.

Slow down and read :D

Both comments were to the OP, about the Desert SW. I even said I am only Jealous of Florida in the winter.

Chill out, we know aside from reptiles, hurricanes, old people, tourists, water spouts, roaches, fire ants, substandard education system, and immigrants...you guys have it pretty good in Florida

:evilb:

Cheers,

Dave

I would rather find girls that I don't know yet, and have them get naked :evilb: I can see the wife naked anytime

To each their own I guess, but for me going coyote watching on November alone via boat doesn't sound like a lot of fun. I like seeing friends and meeting new people while boating. When the season is over it gives me time to catch up on all the things I ignored for 5 months.
