Think about it. Do you ever use that expensive foul weather gear that you have? Here is your chance, maybe. It's the Mid-West! Temperatures have been in the 60s, 50s, and 30s the past three years that I have been over there this time of year.
It's important to plan ahead. Confirm your vehicle and trailer are ready, get the weekend off, arrange for crew, make plans to put boat equipment back on the boat, stock provision as needed.
The only thing that will cancel the Winter Cruise is Snow or Ice on the road!

Members, Plans are still on for the Winter Cruise. Six boat owners have replied. It's better to be ready and not go than to go and not be ready. We have learned that Lake Carlyle isn't iced over. That's a start of good things to come.Javascript:insertsmilie('') Randy C25 #5947
