freeze and thaw

I am hiding behind memories of our lovely, warm, relaxing, warm, adventurous, did I mention warm trip to Nicaragua because I am still wearing my wool slippers here on the Chesapeake Bay.

We were iced in for a long time this winter. Too long. I thought a month away would somehow shorten winter, but I was wrong. Oh so wrong. Record low temps, frigid high winds, continuous clouds, plenty of snow, and our little boat packed solid in sea ice.

We're all thawed out and floating in liquid again now, but here's a peak at boat life on the ice and snow.

(pure ice on the docks with solid ice all around. makes leaving the boat a skating routine, so thankful for our Stabilicers!)
