Gonna freeze tonight!

[djboots]

I have my boat in the water and there is a freeze warning in effect for tonight. They said between 2am-8am it will dip into the mid to upeer 20's. Can 6hrs of those temp do any damage? Seems like ice doesnt real form and exspand that fast.

The water here in Michigan wont get to freezing in one night. The above freezing water temp will keep your bilge warm enough to prevent any damage. You'll be fine for one (or a couple) nights dipping below 32.

Swept Away arrived at her slip yesterday, headed to Racine tomorrow. When those warm east winds blow off the 80 degree lake water, you can see it is always pleasant. By the way, Racine sticks out into the lake about 7 miles more than Milwaukee, so the breeze in April is great!
