Dave I would rather of had a 10 aluminum john boat. I had one lined up on Creag's list but it was sold before I got to it.
I lean my boat lashed to the side of the deck so it won't fly away with the wind gusts and critters can't get under it. As you can see I have ice as of yesterday.
Dolly my dog killed a snake a few days ago while we were walking. It was pretty cold and I couldn't believe snakes would still be out.
