Ice, Ice, Baby

While perusing the latest edition of our marina's newletter, The Washburn Waves, I was immediately drawn to a small paragraph addressing the "state of the lake." While there is still plenty of ice in the Chequamegon Bay and around the Apostle Islands at this time, the rest of the lake is largely open. What this means is that there is a better than average chance that the ice will be "out" earlier than normal. Typically we see ice-free conditions in mid-April....sometimes sooner, sometimes later. Never early enough. But in any case, it seems that Mother Nature may be showing her benevolent side this season.

What this ALSO means is that we best get going on the new interior. First up, a trip to the boat to retrieve the interior saloon cushions and curtains. Next stop, LaCrosse, to make final fabric choices and get this project moving along.

Blue Ayes, it won't be long now!
