We had our earliest ice out since the late 1800's this year, so we are already in.
The City completely replace their buoy system after last year's break a ways. Everything top notch.
Had a new radial jib made by Sail Crafters, so much more power out of that little guy! Shape is fantastic!
Newly installed diesel (the heart of gold) is purring along nicely. We hit hull speed at around 1/2 throttle on smooth water and she will stop on a dime so there is plenty of power. We will have to adjust to actually hearing the motor after being spoiled by the electric. I'll keep my eyes open for a two bladed prop for next year, the three bladed 12X8 seems to be a great fit but being I have so much extra range why drag the extra blade thru the water. I'd like a 12X9RH if any one has one laying around.
My little shop project below turn out pretty good, I'll post some pictures next time I row out.
So happy to be back in the water and looking forward to a great season.
