Winter Blues ..

The Croix was a good time, I kept my boat at Afton marina for years, many nights spent at beer can island, the problem was that I got sick of going in the same direction. The run to Treasure Island was a good time, but it sucked the money right out of my wallet.
Salt is not that bad if you take care of your equipment. If you ride it hard and put it away wet then yes it would be real hard to keep a boat nice.
As for the heat in the summer, that is when I use my boat the most down here. The sun does not set until 9:30 and it is warm all night long so a late night swim feels just as good as it does at noon. Not to mention the warm air blowing through you hair.
I don't mean to rip on MN boating, some of my best boating memories are from the river and Tonka, I just could not take the 7 to 8 month layup. My slip fees got out of control for such a short season. And the mosquitoes drove me crazy.

So what I am saying is that Florida boating is not for everyone, but it sure is for me.
 
Yeah, winter, when will it ever end?

LOL.

For better composition, don't include your knee in the pic.
 
Winter Blues?

Uhm, is that when people get all cranky and miserable cause it's about 2 degrees outside and they miss boating/being on the water?

I just might have a touch of that....

That is, unless it's the knee of a female . . . sans hair.
 
I did not have any pics of my feet, so I ran down to the dock and took this. 66 is cold when you have to take off your socks.

I don't know about Isotoners, they are my old ratty COMFORTABLE slippers and I love 'em.
Behind the boat is the one area of open water on the whole Bay, the rest is frozen over a foot thick, from our ice eaters and we have several hindred NOISY Canada Geese in residence.
I can't wait for spring.
 
This bare foot in winter thig is not all fun and games. You have to keep your eyes open and toes up for some of the locals around here.

TrueBlue,

You do realize that you could be down here as well don't you? Get off your snowed in frozen duff and sail south. Believe me after a few days at sea your lady will either love it or the Gulf Stream is pretty deep and I am sure you have some extra chain around[:-devil], either way it solves the problem with being cold.
