March warm up

Today we went up to see The Lady J at the marina.  The sky was as blue as could be, but the snow was still very evident that far north in Ohio.  Our task today was to hook up the electric to recharge the batteries and make sure things where still "status quo" and that they were, no unwanted surprises. Everything was good to go.  We climbed over a snow bank or two and had to clean off part of the deck to get in the hatch.  Yes it was piled with snow.  Not what you want to see outside your hatch.  We opted not to spend the night as the temperatures are still "really cold".  We will return tomorrow to unplug the electric and put her back to bed.  I must admit though the lake looked just breathtaking all frozen over.  It was comical though to see that the seagulls were still  hanging around.  We did find out some encouraging news.  Our marina manager has agreed to prorate our summer docking fees since we will be gone for almost 3 months this summer.  Yes, that means more for the cruising fund!

Snow piles to climb over

Just beautiful
