Well....its in!

[kindredspirits]

This has been one of the worst Aprils I've seen in Ohio but the boat is FINALLY in! Typically we're in by April 1 but the weather just hasn't cooperated this year and I'm a few weeks late. As far as launches go this went fairly smooth with only 1 casualty. Cell phone took a drink and the stress was more than it could bear. Oh well, it could be worse. I'm due for an upgrade on my phone anyway and I think I would like a "smartphone". Do they make any that are waterproof? Might come in handy! Lake Erie wave forcast 5-8 foot for the next couple days so I guess I've got the weekend to make sure everything is good with the boat.

I'm at the other end of the lake in the niagara river waiting for YOUR ice to go by before I can go in! Last year I was in on March 29th. This winter was brutal

Check out the Evo 4g if you're with Sprint. Check out the Thunderbolt if you're with Verizon. They are both amazing phones! The only phone I know of that is "water resistant" is called the "boulder" but its not a smart phone.

kindred,
What marina are you at?

Out here in Ashtabula most haven’t even taken the shrink off yet. We have a crane come in and we are all splashing the weekend of the 30th. I had 2 spring projects this year and I have both of them done so this weekend I will get the batteries in maybe fire the engines. I like to have a warm sunny day to cut off my shrink and reinstall my bridge enclosure. After that I hope for a couple nice days to compound and polish everything below the run rail and the rest I will do at the dock.

There are carry cases which are waterproof to protect your phone. I would attach a lanyard securely to the phone and to your clothing to keep it from falling in. Have a great boating season!

Dirtier, inlaws have a house close to Anchors Away marina. The boat sits behind the house. I ended up getting an iPhone. No, it's not waterproof so I've got to be more careful. I just got up here and the water is about a foot from going over our wall. I wonder if there is any water left on the east side?
