Digging out some sub interior pics...
« on: January 11, 2010, 02:05:14 AM »
Got some sub interior shots out of the circular file... for those, like me, who are stuck inside with bad colds and have not been able to shovel two feet of snow to get into their subs for a fix...  (OK, Tom Bowser doesn't even begin to know that problem for damn sure!  :coolsmiley: )...

So your sub looks something like this too...? (in case Tom has trouble visualizing what a snow and ice covered boat looks like!)

Yes, but more snow... in fact a few days ago it looked like COD had the start of a Guppy Sail, since the drifts had swept snow halfway up to the 40mm gun platforms on the port side.  I need more hot chocolate...   ::)

Thanks for sharing a Cold Cobia!

No we didn't have snow but we did have ice on the deck and I stayed home for three days due to wind chills of 13 and lower and today the temp inside the boat with all heaters going full blast was 45. You guys can kep your snow and real cold, we are looking forward to our normal mild temps of 95.

Cleaning bilges was easy in northern (cold) water - just wait for the water to freeze and chip it out! LOL

Funny thing TOM, that chill will not even harm those VAMPIRE bugs that attacked us last September!   :buck2:

Are you kidding. I watched a few them sneak up on a cat today and drag it back under the ice under the boat. I went down to check and they had a miniture wood heater going under the ice, nice and warm and breeding like crazy. I could over hear them talking about that guy from ohio that had the great blood and wondering when he was coming back.  :2funny:
