Back on the Water!!!!
 

It's been since last August that I've been on out on my boat. (Luckily I have a buddy who has a 35' Henriques Express that we do a fair amount of ocean time on - bluefin tuna, stripers, cod, haddock, etc.)

New out drive is on finally. Thank you to the previous owner who did enough repair to the drive after hitting whatever they did, but not doing it right. Ouch. Key here - investigate as much as possible when buying used.

Anyway, my hat is pointed forward and on to a great season on Lake Winnipesaukee. Water is already 60 degrees! Ice out was in mid-March - earliest in many many years. Hope it doesn't mess fishing up too much...

Boat ran great - so smooth. Cleaned up the winter grime.

I got a new radio to put in and have to replace the antenna or find the mounting screws. I also have to replace the stern light mechanism. I'm done dealing with the flakey ground...

Happy boating!

Sorry to reply to my own message - ice out was 3/24 - earliest ever recorded since 1887.
