East Coast Storm

A buddy of mine lives in the Mid-Atlantic region, near Washington D.C. A week or so ago they had a massive freak storm. The storm, according to my friend, came out of nowhere and lasted only an hour. That was long enough to do a lot of damage.

Over a million homes in his area lost power and it didn’t get restored for nearly a week. Trees were down all over the place so it took a while for the electric company to get in there and fix things up. The roof of my friend’s shed blew halfway off, but, he said the strangest thing happened – even though the roof was gone his Yamaha outboard oil was still standing neatly in rows just as he had stored them!

Boating in Wisconsin

The next best boat to resident ratio is found in Wisconsin. For every Cheesehead there are nine boats. Every county has at least four lakes, with Vilas county having an impressive 1,327 (yes, you read that number correctly).

Even during the cold winters there are boat-able locations. One popular destination is the 600-acre Lake Columbia just north of Madison. Warm water from a power plant flows into the lake so it doesn’t freeze over. You don’t have to winterize your boat if you go there; just top off your outboard motor oil and you’re good to go for year round fishing.
