In the end the cruise was cancelled (blowing up to 38 knots at the marina too) and we simply partied in the clubhouse.

Smacky is going to be dissapointed in you.

Vey nice photo, erps.
Looks a little chilly.
Just be careful, all that snow on the decks can make for a slippery fall.

I ran a heater the last 3 winters on my boat, no issues with condensation. Altho I do leave the roof hatch's open at the lowest point, along with forward hatch does have a built in open vent to it too.

I was at Amoretto sat night, and it was about 32 with the inside nice and toasty.

Not sure if I will be able to transplant the Japanese maple I am supposed to do today, that may have to wait, and do the rain line instead. Along with the not able to plant the 1100 some odd St Johnswort at a clients either!

Thanks guys!

I'm still worried about my boat... sniff....

I'm even more worried since we're leaving for a week in Mexico on the 20th.. Guess I don't get any sympathy for that, eh?

Now if the wind will just die down enough to get it in the slip I can rest easy, unless the power goes out. Winter sucks, and it's still officially only fall!

Faster, good call to cancel going out, beautiful picture but man does that look cold!

Yikes!!! The Laurie Anne is hanging on a mooring in front of your house in all of this? With the diesel heater running?

Let us know when she's home safe, John...
