We got hammered in the greater Boston area. Took a break from clearing my roof and breaking up the ice dams yesterday to clear the cover on my boat (for the 8th time). Had to repair the frame once, too. It was nice to daydream for a minute as I sat in the cockpit about pointing into a warm SW breeze with the Newport bridge on my bow anticipating a relaxing weekend maybe out on Block Island. We are breaking records for snowfall this year and the city is not doing well dealing with it. Businesses have been hit particularly hard, mine included so no time for skiing. Apparently more to come over the weekend and into next week. These are the times I truly envy those of you who live down in the more temperate places. I enjoy reading about your winter sailing adventures.

Dennis You can have some of our snow. Last week had to bust up a hard crust of snow and then remove 8” of very heavy snow from boat cover, then uncover boat, repair frame and recover. Likely have to remove snow again from cover since more coming this Friday and then Sunday. This not to mention outdoor decks, driveways, etc and the threats of collapsing structures On the bright side our ski area Wentworth has gone from no natural snow to 4 feet in the past two weeks and the skiing is superb. Any more snow and will have to begin snow removal under chairlift in some areas Mike Halifax From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 9:54 PM To: CnClist Subject: Re: Stus-List While our Northeast friends were shoveling snow.. Snow is for skiing, not shoveling. Actually looking for snow here. I'm in Vail, CO. The World Alpine Championship racers here this week aren't happy. Got some snow today but temps were near 40. I'm ready to go SAILING. Left Louisiana Jan 15. Skied Big Sky, MT; Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole, WY; and now am moving around ski areas in Colorado. Will put 5000+ miles on the old Suburban.

I am not sure if this should be allowed this time of the year. This weekend I pushed off about 20 cm (8 in) of snow of the boat cover and this is nothing compared to some people around Boston.

No results yet but we didn't do so hot thanks to quite a few tactical blunders from yours truly and a mostly "Never Sailed Before"crew. We still had a ball, learned a lot, and the boys thanked me for an experience they'll never forget. (I think they'll be back) . That's what it's all about for me...
