Ice, boats and dogs

in #esteem5 years ago

Although the water hasn't frozen yet and probably will not freeze at all during the winter, almost all of the people that are having motor boats in my home town are taking them out until spring time. They clean them, they make some maintenance work to them and so on, but the boats don't stay on the water during winter around here. There are exceptions of course but the vast majority takes them out. Having quite a few friends who have such boats I helped one of mine to take his out and another one from a mutual friend. Having only one special trailer to do that and storing them in two different places at about 20 km one from another means that we had to get them out one at a time.

First we too the big one out, we deposited it on his yard and then we went back for the other one, the smaller one that I went on fishing with for almost a whole month every day in summer. At his place, where we stored his boat, the big one, his dogs and cats greeted us and welcomed us but I only managed to photograph one of the dogs while the cats didn't want to pose at all. He's still a puppy, a lucky stray one that got adopted and you can tell from a distance that he sure misses people around there as he was swinging his tail all the time while we were there and was jumping from one to another for a bit of attention from us. I like such dogs that have tons of energy in them and didn't mind at all that he left some dirt on my pants from his playful paws. That's part of the joy sometimes, to also get dirty.

Then we took out the other boat with a 4x4 and drove it to some guest house where my friend likes to deposit it during winter time. He's friend with the owner and close to Danube. It's not the only one "parked" there from what I saw. It was a bit weird though to see the boats on a trailer on the road after seeing them almost the whole year on water. BUT as I mentioned, whether the Danube will freeze during winter or not nobody knows for sure, for the safety of the boats that the ice won't crack them it's better to be deposited on land. Sometimes the water freezes, sometimes not, but you never know for sure. Even if it freezes I confess that I will not walk on it, but I am waiting definitely for snow this year almost as much as kids do. It's something that I always liked about winter. Ice on the other hand is not my friend...

Thanks for attention and have a great day!
