I cannot like that post with the low temp, and if your motto is to embrace the suck; you must LOVE 2020! LOL

Stay warm and safe up there dude!

Christmas eve, on a boat again..... year 8 Being away during the holidays sucks. Those of you at home be sure to kiss your bride's tell em merry Christmas and hug those youngans. Anybody thats been in the service knows how much we take for granted when rooted at home in a normal 9-5 job.
Headed into the locks and then out into the lake for Christmas day.

RR Merry Christmas, safe journey on the boat and a safe speedy trip home. Maybe your wife will save one good buck for you

Thanks yall. Santa found my room!!

Don’t worry 9-5 ain’t “normal” nor is 11-7. It probably sucks worse than your job and there’s usually no scenery.

Take care out there! Be sale.
You need to work a deal with SAWMAN on his RefrigiWear coveralls when you get back. Its cold!

At tropical Two Harbors loading. Braved the plague riddled MN. To walk to the store. Had to drop the anchor day before, was frozen in pocket. Frozen water is amazing, 20 ton anchor frozen in the pocket. Had to put the windlass in gear to yank on it to get free.

Sprinkler that we use to melt/loosen the ice. That one is the 1 inch hose. Have 2 others that use the 1.5. Using jacket water from the engines, stingy bastards won't light the boilers. Now that we're at dock, just lake water.
