Something's getting wet today![emoji6]

Now all is right with the world. Steve is on Mark.

If only it were that simple...sigh.... haha. The good news is no trees down, no damage, no rodent damage...I do have a busted water pipe I have to replace though.

I know the feeling, it's always something. But it's expected, right? If you own property------

My motto is " expect the worst, but hope for the best ", but I always hold my breath when I come around the island and get my first look! [emoji6]

Do you think your water pipe froze?

I do..not sure how cause there was an open valve right below it, but luckily it's just a foot long piece of 3/4 " copper.

Good. And you can fix it without a plumber I assume?

If you can see it, it's a breeze to fix. Little victories!

Correct!

Diy
 

There's sort of an assumption about freezing because it was discovered in the spring. Most likely, yes.
Three years ago, mid-July, my nephew said he heard a water spraying noise, Turned out a copper pipe, under a set of steps had split. No reason, just old pipe. Lift a board, cut the pipe, (or island gremlins), solder in a coupling. No big deal. I know what plumbing and electrical supplies my neighbor has, and vice versa. Also where the keys are. On an island, thee's a lot of DIY reliance.

Listing today?
Maybe all of the wine was loaded on the starboard side:D

Oh stop! Well, it is, but so are both batteries, and the one full fuel tank. She'll level out some when I fill the fresh water tank and other fuel tank...both on the port side. AND, when I get through some of that wine stash![emoji6]

What about her boxed wine? That makes great ballast!

Was thinking last night's ride home was gonna be a washout. After loading the boat in the rain, I headed out just in time to enjoy clearing skies and a pretty nice sunset!Attachment 17015Attachment 17016

I came in around 6pm with storm right behind me. Dropped everyone at Glendale and as soon as I got into Smith Cove the wind started to howl. About 1 minute before backing into my slip it started dumping rain. I don't think I have ever gotten so soaked in my life!

Before the Dory, I had many rides like that. I used to tell people that I could have walked through a car wash and not get as wet!

I love living vicariously through your pictures! Hopefully once the RE market settles down and island places become reasonable again I can contribute my own some day!

Have fun out there and enjoy!

True story...I had posted a picture of the lake with not another boat in sight on a " i boat on winni" page and jokingly made a comment about feeling lonely. Somebody commented " oh, you're not alone...everytime you go by us , we yell out C-Nile, and the dog barks! Made me laugh! Yesterday afternoon, i had to do some shopping in town, and my wife ( who generally never leaves the island) came along. Pulling out of Glendale on the way back, I boated past Belknap Point. There were 6 or 8 people standing on a dock and they all started waving, so I blew the horn at them. My wife, who is never on the boat, said " what was that all about?" I said with a straight face " oh, it's like people who yell " mount" when the Mt. Washington goes by...they wave, yell out C-Nile, and all their dogs bark!" [emoji16] She thinks the boat is aptly named....

The view from the back of the C-Nile yesterday was nothing to write home about...propane trip. For some reason, we couldn't get the propane company to bring the barge out all of last year, so if you're listening Kevin, the big tank is still empty!
Here's a plug for Osborne's Agway...not only are they very nice, but they stocked plant fertilizers my wife needed that even Lowes didn't stock, and they fill 100 pound propane tanks for 59.99! Cheapest price I've found!!Attachment 17063

Probably not a good time for cigars ....... :)

I agree on Osborne's Agway, always pleasant stores to be in and they carry more items than people might realize.

It’s always a good time for cigars!

So I finally saw another C-Dory on the lake...was sitting on my deck after work yesterday and it came by the house. Looked to be a 22 with a roof mounted a/c unit. Anyone know who this is??

I figured it out!

Yeah A/C might be good in your cabin in the summah. Maybe a reversible heat pump for March, April, Oct and Nov?

I suppose the a/c would be nice, but for me heat is all I need. I installed an overhead 12v fan, and so far with the windows and door open it's been fine. Having to commute through November and even into early December though, the heater has made a huge difference. People think the ice scraper I leave on the dashboard is a joke...not so much![emoji16]
