Well as all of you know, especially those of you in the northern areas like myself..this marks a major milestone as far as getting back on the water...
Everyday that I cross the bridge over the lake I visualize the first sailing day of 2011...
There were 2 windsurfers out there the day after the ice melted...Wow!! thats dedicated..
Its getting closer by the minute

The days are getting longer and warmer.
YEAH!!!! Let the warmth come! Go get 'em Global Warming! LOL!
I'm tired of the cold rain! We've had so much rain lately it filled our septic tank and caused a backup in our house! Yikes! We have fantastic drainage it has just not stopped raining!
While I got to work on Forplay on Saturday, I spent Sunday working on plumbing!

It's close to hauling the Shirley Jean to the lake....if I didn't have so many "Momma-do's" for this spring I'd haul her down this weekend. Tip for others...never, ever let your wife put your house on the Home Garden Tour. They've been buggin' her for years to do it and this year Momma acquiesced. Now I'm layin' stone, splittin' rails, haulin' mulch and wishin' I was gettin' ready to sail.
There is no right way to do a wrong thing
I have had some time off from work and I put the 22 in a slip for a month. I had her out numrous times, she's a fine sailing boat. Took a couple of my work buddys out a couple of days ago. It was a blowing, cold, (well for us, 44 deg) and over cast, and was the first time for one of them, we keep her heeled at least 20 deg all day. It was a hit with them.
