Hotdog!!!!

Brian is busy today... We just had to take a run to the Sandbar to check out Brian's business before we haul out and head for home this week. Seems to be a popular spot. We prefer Wisconsin brats, but we tried a few of Brian's hotdogs anyway...

The "Hotel"...

Man overboard!!!

It had to happen sooner or later... Brian's (hotdog man) brother showed up last night for a brief visit. While boarding the "hotel" with his luggage in hand, over he went... You can see his footprints in the muck. Fortunately Brian advise him to walk ashore rather than use Buddy to get out of the water. We slept through it all...

Wiped!!!

Replaced the wiper today. On boats, it seems nothing is ever simple... The new replacement wipe arm didn't quite fit. The inside diameter of the arm attachment was a bit smaller than the drive. So.. I removed the riveted end fitting that accepts wipers that can no longer be purchased, (that's a good thing as it was a poor design that made for a rather floppy wiper) drilled it out and screwed the new end on. It works!!!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Back home it doesn't look like winter is letting up. Cath and I will be headed home next week. This satellite photo of Lake Michigan was taken a week ago on March 2nd. The snow cover begins at Wind Point (Racine, WI). You will note most of Green Bay was still ice covered...

Murphy's law....

...seems to have impacted more of our dockmates. After cranking on Mike's "electric" winch, I'm glad Buddy's trailer has a nice two-speed manual winch. Mike and Kay Ann are hauling out to replace a leaking outdrive boot. Boats...

And they're off!

Pam, Tom, and the Tonic head home. Fair Winds until we meet again! Perhaps the Georgian Bay this August?
