Hey Joe,

That is normal clear weather dock conditions for a weekend boat check around here, just above the Pacific North West. Except we don't have none of those ice thingies. One of the reasons we don't mind the rain so much... no frost.

BTW, it doesn't matter how far away the ladder is. With water that cold you could fall in right next to the ladder and ya ain't getting yer own ass outta there. In a winter around here it isn't unusual to lose one or two old guys in a year, recovered in the marina.

        Happy New Year & cheers,  Russ

I went down to the boat last night to turn the ice eater off and turn the cabin heat down. It was above freezing all day, but a layer of dew settled on everything and the temperature had dropped from 33 to 30 as the sun set. A super-slick layer of ice froze onto everything including the dock and there are no ladders I can swim to if I fall in that aren’t at least a couple hundred feet away.
