Yeah, but look at the unexpected excitement you are missing out on. Could be like riding your C-Dory in a storm.

If you had ever seen me ride a horse, it would be more like riding your C-Dory over a waterfall!
Some people look classy riding a horse. I sound like I'm applauding with my ass.
Happy spring!

Spring is here for this CD guy. My 1st king salmon in the boat. Not a giant but ok. It has already passed though my personal plumbing system and was excellent.
More to come............

Spring is coming to Montana in the form of floods. Snowpack in the mountains is breaking all time records in some areas of the state. Torrential rains are now hitting some areas. Even with temperatures on the cool side, the saturated ground just moves the water along. Fort Peck is now spilling at full pool. Roundup, Montana, home of the usually shallow Musselshell River, is mostly under water, and there are no flood control reservoirs on the Musselshell until it hits Fort Peck.
The Smith River, which requires special floating permits to travel the 60 miles os scenic water, has been closed to floating. A while back an experienced couple from Washington state capsized in their drift boat, and the 68 year old woman wearing a life jacket still hasn't been found.
On the brighter side, Yellowstone Park fishing aficionados will have their long wait over in several weeks. Fishing opens on June 15. For the when-the-ice-goes-out- watchers, the latest report on the lake is as follows.
Note: At about four p.m. today, mountain standard time, my phone rang, and my Yellowstone informant, Elliot, from Bridge Bay Marina, had the following information. It is snowing like crazy at the lake. The marina is two thirds frozen. The big lake is still frozen. According to Elliot, a twenty year veteran at the marina, this is the latest he has seen the lake still hard enough to walk on.
The marina crew, awaiting the influx of boats, has a pool going on when the ice in the marina is going to go. Elliot tells me that some of the choice spots on the docks are going to be open for those who want to lease space. If interested call (307) 2423876 or (307) 344 - 5217 and tell them Yellowstone John on B dock gave you the marina number.
Fishing opens up on June 15. (the ice ought to be gone) The cutthroats and lake trout are near the shores then.
For any C-Dory folks who venture our way, we will be parked at B-8 for most of the summer beginning June 15. Stop by and say hello. For persons not familiar with Bridge Bay Marina, the docks are first class with shore power and water at each slip.

We have had bum weather all "spring" in western NY. Rain, rain and more rain (at historic levels). We got our CD and truck stuck twice in the mud.
Right now, at 9:30 am, I am sitting in our cottage looking out at L. Ontario: can't see a thing except fog. It's been that way daily for the past week. Hopefully, it will clear this afternoon...and we can get out in the boat!

Normal depth at my slip (Tomahawk Island, North Portland Harbor, Columbia River) this time of the year is 28-29 feet. It was at 40.5 feet Sunday. There are no beaches on the Columbia right now.

yesterday around noon susan and I headed to Blind bay on Shaw Island in the San jauns. The sun came out as we sat on the back deck reading. Anchor in the water sun on our bare feet for the first time this year. A large pair of loons off the starboard side, young eagle with white under coat still molting in a tree, seal floating near by, ferry steaming by in the distance and almost no clouds in the sky. Spring lasted for 5 hours yesterday. back at work cold and cloudy today. nice while it lasted.
I got out on the water today! Wild Blue is nearly 2,000 miles away, so it wasn't on the C-Dory. Jackson Lake is still WAY down, so it wasn't a cruise boat. The marina manager wanted to know how much (or little) water we had in our marina basin, so I offered to take a kayak out to check... hey, I am just that kinda guy. First time I ever got paid to kayak, plus it was spectacularly beautiful out today... one in a row! The sun was shining, almost calm wind, and truly spectacular scenery with the Tetons in the background. I think we're in for some nice weather now, and it's about time.
I have the next two days off, and I hope to get my own kayak in the water sometime during that time off. Besides our sit-in, we bought a Hobie pedal kayak that I haven't had a chance to use, yet.
Spring may have finally sprung for the Wild Blue crew.
Best wishes,
Jim B.

The average flow for the Snake River at this time is about 10,000 cfs. Last year at this date the cfs was 14,000. Today our cubic feet per second, at Rupert Idaho is 28,000, and expected to increase! Look out Portland, here it comes! IN CAHOOTS
