This has to be record for this part of the country! :thumbsup:
We splashed due to heavy spring flood predictions . . . our boats would have floated off their winter blocks as the Mississippi is expected to rise 3 or more feet above flood stage. Amazingly, last weekend we were iced in with over 20 plus inches, but with a chain saw, and several de-icers the owner of the Marina, along with help from all the customers, was able to get all the slips open. It's nice to be in a small Marina (14 slips) as everyone pitches in!
For the record, we usually don't splash until the 3rd week in April (5 weeks from now)! I am feeling good tonight!
