If you guys change your mind (due to wind, rain, snow :eek:), the band that played at the Baja/Checkmate party in March is playing at Bakers Saturday night for their Halloween party :D

I remember watching the presidential debate one year at the Beer Barrel while it snowed. My boat was the only one in the harbor.

How was Kelleys....? Anyone dress up like Ted this year? :)

c_deezy 10-30-2011 09:41 PM

It's funny how different it looks when its not packed with boats.

Went over a couple weeks ago on a wednesday and it looked about like that.

Kelleys was great, it was a nice crowd, but certainly not packed. Not too many costumes since the actual Halloween party was the weekend before. There were a few costumes and togas out though!

That's what I call "B" dock front row.......very nice!

It was a very chilly ride over to Kelleys but a good time for sure. Found out the heater in the boat works great, nice to finally meet Artie, would of much rather met him at Xmas in July:drink: thanks for the heads up on PIB, that was a sad sight to see that place empty.

The bay was closed up. 2 t-shirt places and the year round stuff there was NO ONE there at all. It's amazing how quiet it is when it's deserted.

s022mag 11-01-2011 06:38 PM

I have some pics up there but not sure how to post them?

That had to be kind of sad to see... We spent a sunday night there and I thought that was a ghost town.... I take it you will be winterizing soon Artie?

Boats in the shop for the winter... I tend to get a bit lazy with "winterizing" since it usually stays about 60* in there ;) Time to get to work on a detail from bow to transom and fixing a few little annoyances from this summer.

Winter came early this year for me, we usually take a trip to SC over thanksgiving, so I feel like summer ended extra soon. It sure feels like it was a weird year weather wise, spring came late and fall came early. Must be global warming :lolhit:

Twin O/B Sonic 11-02-2011 01:41 AM

Yep.

Used to go over at least once a year in the off season just to absorb the contrast. Also used to do Port Clinton several weekends through the winter just because. Pretty cool the things you see then and no other times. Take your car to the islands by ferry for example.
Did Port Clinton for the Walleye Drop New Years eve one yr when the weather was in the 70's!
The ferry was actually running so we went to PIB. Partied w/the locals at Mr Ed's and watched the college championship game.
Hooked up w/a local that had a house on the water by the airport and partied at his place and the Skyway.
Ended up back at Mr.Ed's where the bar tender hooked us up w/a room at their hotel. We were the only ones in it.
