Our first sail in 2016 was on Feb 25th. The first overnighter was April 6-7th with no heater (but didn't really need it). 20* and 6" of snow this morning however, so it's an ice rink at the moment. expected flooding mid next week when the rain comes, so at least the lakes will fill again this year

Shooting for mid-April if it's warm enough to prep and repaint my cast iron keel before then. There's just a tiny section on the bottom of the bulb I'll have to do on the crane.
It's 19 degrees right now!

Like your thinking. 4-14-17. Here's hoping ice-out cooperates. Last year was 4-9-16. Somehow I was in before you.....
Not even close to how cold it already has gotten this winter. We will be colder again later this month or in February. Grab a blanket...
yea but I saw your bottom before you launched..... that was CRIMINAL. ;^)Like your thinking. 4-14-17. Here's hoping ice-out cooperates. Last year was 4-9-16. Somehow I was in before you.....
We have an annual, cyclic, water release from Cayuga Lake which drops the level around 3 feet. This would be unworkable for us from the southern channel to even attempt passage north. The water level doesn't get back to a navigable depth until early May. I'm having the boat moved to a boatyard from the State Park Marina as early as I can in April so that the bottom can be VC17'd and gloss the hull and deck. Therefore at a minimum T-112, maximum T-130.

I'm pretty sure looking' at someone's bottom may be Criminal?
...or perhaps a bit disturbing!
