:wow: You know that winter is coming when you go up to winterize your boat and this happens when you look out to see what the noise and wind is all about...

SURPRISE!!! You forgot to listen to the weather and hear about the little cold snap with snow squalls blowing in off Georgian Bay! DOH! :smt021

Oh well, the Toronto Boat Show is only a few months away....

When I have to go dig out all of my long sleeve stuff, my sweat pants, warm up pants and start wearing socks around the house. Oh, and we start playing tennis indoors or under the lights.

We try to boat year round. In fact we have a 5 hour cruise planned for next weekend. Mrs R is getting new raw water impellers and belts next week.
