We had a great dinner run today. There were not too many other boats out (saw maybe 20 throughout our 75 mile ride). Camden on the lake had another incredible holiday brunch.

This is the season for small boats to experience LOTO with very little cruiser wake threat or intimidation.

Not meant as a slur-just a deep/heavy fiberglass boat made in Newfoundland for the rough offshore!

We used to drive an hour + past Tronto to go snowmobiling, I remember many of the side roads never got plowed. You have to own a snowmobile just to get home.
Night and day compared to South Fl. I'm looking at a property just above Niagara Falls, on the river, for a summer home, and a little winter wonderland, I want to snow ski again.

All good up here-with remote work & expensive Toronto real estate more people migrating to the country. All roads mostly winter maintained-I have 1/2 mile of private road I plow/blow open+21 f. here right now/lakes still open!

Growing up I always remember tour bus after tour bus filled with Asians on the Canadian side...

I didn't know they lived there, I see over 20% of Canadians are of Asian descent,

I always loved Canada, till my 18th birthday I spent every summer in the Crystal Beach area.

For these Hardy guys, there are 2 seasons ... the wet and the frozen.

It was a balmy 52* Last thursday, so I went and burned off what was left in the tank.

Yeah-lakes can turn into highways in Winter. One year I put more miles on my old Dodge Dakota than my snowmobile!

A couple of years ago, I had Jason and Johnny Saris (Team Saris Performance Marine in Bolton Landing, NY) re-rig my Progression 22 with a new 250R. The goal was to have the boat done in time so that I could bring it back home (Rochester, NY) and tuck it away before it snowed. As always, they delivered. The boat was ready for a test drive and pickup on Lake George the second week in December. Was it cold? In the picture below, my PFD is underneath my jacket and my full-face helmet is on the floor. The test drive lasted less than 10 minutes and Johnny and I were both pretty well frozen. Did I mention that absolutely nobody else was dumb enough to be out on the lake?

Here's a trick question: Why am I wearing my coat over my life vest? Because if you go in the water in this kind of weather, a heavy coat will drag you right to the bottom. Wearing it over the vest give you at least a chance of getting it off before you get dragged down.

Nothing wrong with that. I once went a mile + across the lake here in a tin boat in December @ 0 f. & the motor froze when I got to the other side!

Not floating frozen (both you and the motor) in the middle of the lake. Aren't you glad the lake was not over 2 miles wide?

Very glad-young & foolisher!

The green boat I saw a couple of weeks ago was on Facebook yesterday. He got caught in the snow on Saturday. Not for me, but pretty cool to still be out. Today was howling wind, 32F, and blowing snow all day. If he was out the visibility was so bad I would not have seen or heard it.
