Pecos,

Are you signed up with a site such as photobucket.com ?

That is a free site many of us use.

If you click on the IMG space to the right of your picture, it will copy the link and it will show up as a picture in your post.

Yeah, that's red

Yep, that is red alright! But congrats on the new dinghy.

Thanks Herschel. Now I'm waiting for my "ship to come in" Everything is done paperwork wise. Have $ in escrow until they get the motor running (maybe just start it or maybe it needs something) and the anchor box drain hooked back up. AND the rest of the snow to melt and the lakes to loose the rest of their ice and the marina can get all the other boats out of the way so they can get my out. WEW! I'll be in your neck of the woods next winter. Not coming home until all this mess is gone here in Michigan.

Don't forget our pizza. My kids like cheese.

You will like boating down here in the fall, winter and spring. Most days are great, occasionally a little too chilly to go out. I don't usually go out if the temperature is in the low 60's or 50's, but those are rare. Summers can get a little hot, so you need a way to slip into the water for a cool down periodically, and a good app on your phone to avoid thunderstorms, but doable. Come on down.

Sounds wonderful - excuse me while I go shovel some more snow.

I know it must be tough waiting for better weather. My wife and I got out on the St. Johns River yesterday. I thought you might enjoy some vicarious boating. Here are some pix. The good news is that spring is here and moving north as we speak!


You can see the bright green foliage in the cyprus trees.


Keep the faith; spring is coming.

Thanks for those pix. They could not have come at a better time.
Thought I might be going color blind it's been so long since I've seen the color green.

Well with the spring weather we r having we sometimes have to improvise

Oh good grief Highlander, maybe in a dinghy but never on one of those things. Just look at what happened to the one that sank. COLD. WET AND out a pile of money. No thanks. LOL

How much speed do you think you would lose towing one of those as a dinghy?
Might cause a little drag.
