Meh, it cracked a brisk 15° yesterday. You guys were living in the tropics by comparison.

Had a %5K tow today for the Bradshaw McKee a mile up river... We busted ice all the way two nites ago. The 50 mph west winds literally sucked 2 feet of water outa the river. We were aground today at the dock. 2000HP back and forth and the lines didnt even snug up. Maybe again tomorrow? The low water datum mark on thed bridge dolphin is down two feet from there...

I'm a fair weather boater. I'd never deal with that cold. You have my respect and my sympathy.

Bill, It sounded like you said the St Mary's Conquest was an old car ferry. But that's the old Medusa Challenger. It hauled cement for the last century and was the last coal fired freighter on the lake before they cut it up and turned it into a barge. My dad got invited to ride on her for a trip around the lakes back in the 1980s when we used to buy cement from Medusa.

Cute film. In 1977 $53 wasn't bad money for selling flowers.
