Merry Christmas

We are too darn close to a White Christmas down here! But hoping for a break later this week and for New Years Eve.

Divecoz, I appreciate your comment and wholeheartedly agree!

Doug,

Nice video. Looks so fast with the blue lights on. We have a neighbor who put lights on his boat next to his house.

I'm envious of your barn.

Up here in the frozen Canadian north, we sail in the summer, then when the water freezes in winter, we play hockey. It's a win-win situation :!:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Seasons Greetings from Northern Virginia...hope everyone had a great Christmas (or the celebration of your choice) and is ready for a Happy New Year.

Federal holiday on Friday...wife & daughter out of town...temps forecast to hit 50...sounds like the perfect situation for some News Years eve sailing...opportunity to motor up into DC and anchor overnight and see if there will be any fireworks.

Since I am playing hooky from work today (it's my birthday and my son is in town until tomorrow) I figured I would zip over to the marina at Ft. Belvoir and take a look at my boat...it's been a month since I was last out there.

The marina is FROZEN SOLID...what's up with that??? The marina is about a mile or so off the Potomac up Dogue Creek. The water is fairly still and shallow at the marina...and now it is frozen solid...I would guess an inch thick at least. We had about 10 days or so where it did not get much above freezing. Temps are supposed to rise next week so hopefully the ice will break up and maybe I can get out sometime in January.

So instead of News Years sailing looks like I will have to play golf instead.

Happy New Years!!!

Cheers,
Jim

Ummmm. No.
As I sit here comfortably near my computer with my feet up, I look outside, and the windchill is -36C. I think I'll pass. :wink:
