The second freeze started last night.  I test drove the scoot and hauled out the boat.  I think I'm ready for winter.  All the ice and most of the snow from last week melted.  Taken Nov.28/14

"First ice"     Kineras bay unexpectedly froze over last night.  I expect all this ice to disappear with the rain and warmer temperatures predicted for this weekend.  I still have to haul my boat out.
 There is about 24" of snow on the ground.     Taken Nov.21/14

I was into town today by boat for the first time this spring.  There is no ice on the south channel from Beauty Island to town.  This will be the last post until freeze up next fall.  There are over 1600 photos on this blog that you can access.  Click on the year and click on "older posts" at the bottom of each page.  Taken Apr.30/14
