All I can say is that it isn't the best day to be a Michigan fan. Unbelievable finish, eh?
 
We pulled our boat today, and it sleeted for a few minutes in Ohio.

Boltman, sorry for your loss, that was a heartbreaker.
 
What can I say , we beat the Spartans and lost to ourselves ..... I almost had bragging rights , I'd hate to be that punter on Monday !!! Poor kids going back to community college for sure.

same here in pittsburgh. pulled the boat today and got home. began winterizing and got hit with snowflakes for a few minutes
 
I am on my boat swinging on the hook as I write this. I still don't quite understand the concept of having to pull your boat out in October and splash back in come April or May. I have always lived out west so I can't picture having to do this. I hope you have a mild winter back east!
 
Terrible weather here just a little rain today then back into the mid 60's

Coming in the other night.

This year I'm going to be snow blind and try to be in denial until spring gets here.I asked an Amish friend of mine what he thought winter was going to like this year and he said he would tell me around the end of March.
 
Bob, don't you hate boating when the wind is blowing like in the photo you posted and the seas are running high! :thumbsup:
 
A boat just like Beachcomber ran by our little raft up twice this weekend throwing nice 3 footers at us. It even had the covered cockpit! Did you happen to bring your boat down to NorCal this weekend?
 
Ken, Not guilty. She's tucked safely in her slip. We probably won't be taking her out before we go to AZ at the end of the month but we will be overnighting in the slip next Saturday night. The club is having a Halloween party. When we party we usually stay on the boat so we don't have to drive home.

Wouldn't have been me anyway. I'm very careful about my wake and especially around rafted boats.
 
Not missing that. We lived on the south shore of Lake Erie before relocating to southern middle Tennessee a few year ago. The difference isn't as much as I thought it would be. Just checked my weather app and it's currently 34 degrees here and 36 in Sandusky, OH. Current forecast for later this week is the high 70s so, it looks like we should be able to get out a few more times this season.

Knew it wasn't you, and do know the boat. Just thought it was funny that they have the same cockpit cover. The funny thing is that this guy sees us and slows down to max wake speed thinking he is being thoughtful! No big deal since we only had 3 of us tied together. We didn't have any issues, even though he got us going both ways.

We love boating in the Winter the last few years have been great we have the whole South Sound to ourselves that day we may have seen 3 other boats out & a couple container ships it was calm all day just like being on a small lake.

That photo is looking towards Gig Harbor & the Olympic Mts. from near Dash Pt. the object in the photo is the shipping lane buoy not a boat. Tuesday & Thursday this week look to be about perfect.
 
Nothing but 60 degrees and rain here in south central meechigun. I'm definitely not complaining!

We're really wishing that our boats were still in... at least one of them.
 
I hear ya. Nothing in Detroit metro but heck I'm fine with that. I'll go up to UP in a few months if I get that tearie eyed about it lol
Might have to schedule a march launch date? Hmmm
 
supposed to be close to 70 here tomorrow in the 'Burgh
