Holy Crap, Anymore info? Was the lagoon frozen?


There has been a lot of ice. My tri is also in the water issues with the outboard kept me in the water, and then I got caught in ice - the ice has been going on for awhile now. Anyway, knowing that the wind was going to be howling and the snow was going to be the wet sticky heavy kind, I took the time on Friday afternoon to get anything that was extra windage off the boat (main/boom, foller furled jib, lifesling, etc.), as I was afraid of the action of a heavy snowed up rig in high winds on a frozen in boat. I'm glad I did - you can see from the pic that there's not much snow on things - the wind whipped through there pretty hard meaning the dock is pretty clear, but you can see the fore dock line covered in snow/ice. The lines themselves get pretty heavy and can cause damage when like this. I was very glad I got to spend the time, I believe the outcome would have been different had I not.

Sorry to hear about Triple Threat, hopefully the damage is minor and she'll be back terrorizing the Bay soon.

Here's Tri-Pawed after the storm, the ice actually melted a bit during the storm, probably from the wind, she's been locked in solid most of last week.
