We've been having some cool weather here in Victoria BC, so I thought I'd share this picture of the Inner Harbor.

Hopefully we're done with snow for the season here. For once, we can't complain about the weather here in Maine. It has been gorgeous for the last couple of weeks!! (Not rubbing it in - really!)
PS. Snow aside, that is a beautiful picture.

This was the most unusual April I have ever seen here on Vancouver Island. The cherry and plum trees in full blossom, and almost a foot of heavy snow on the ground. We woke saturday morning with the power out to the sound of an enormous branch slowly breaking off a big maple behind the house. APRIL 19th for crying out loud. And they call this "Lotus land"?

How about "coastal warming"? It's supposed to get up to 75 degrees tomorrow!Tim Mertinooke wrote:Global warming.
Trust me, we New Englanders feel your pain: from April 5, 2007. Granted, it's over two weeks later, but still...
Take heart, Spring commissioning will be here before you know it.

Ummm.... eh-hem! May 15th. I'm prioritizing the things that must be done to launch. I drove up a took the cover off last weekend. :)
How about you? You must be totally psyched to get that Fuji wet.

I have to get my survey/insurance/documentation ducks in a row first. I'm shooting for mid-June if all goes as planned. Yeah, we are very excited about launching the new boat. We have a couple small shakedown cruises planned for June, and then it's off to Maine right after the fourth. We shall hook up for sure!
