I watched a cabin cruiser icebreak their way out of Castle Harbor a
couple of days ago. The only time I have ever had to do that was in my
old 18 foot Grady White and we all sat in the stern and trimmed way up
so the boat rode up on the ice and crushed it down vs. brute forcing it.
Between the ice eater and the cabin heat my wife is going to hate the
electric bill for the boat.

Dennis;
Even with the single digit air temperatures (and near zero chill
factors) the river water here is still in the mid-40s. So your boat is
sitting in a big warm heat sink.
When I checked Imzadi, there was a very thin rime of ice over part of
the water in the bilge, but the air temp in the boat was still above
freezing. I wouldn’t be surprised if, thanks to the warmer water on
the Gulf Coast, that your water system is OK.

Bitter cold in NE, cold down South, no snow in the Rockies, T-shirts
in Alaska? Anybody else confused?
I normally just smile at the threads on hauling out and winterizing
but this year is different. The only thing I do to winterize Touche'
is to depressure the pressure water system, pull out the cockpit
shower to drain it and ensure there is some air in the spray handle.
Couldn't get over to Pensacola to do that. Suspect it froze and
cracked. Ordered new one just in case. :(
Hope everyone fares OK in the cold.
