Island property opening

[Garcia]

Just curious when houses, particularly island properties, are opened for the season. I usually open the first weekend after ice out (a few times before ice out is official), depending on weather and my schedule. If I don't think I'll be up regularly, or if it is especially cold, I might not put the water in, but make it as livable as possible.

We usually open on Bear by end of April

We open as soon as we can get there. First weekend after ice-out typically.

10-Days after official ice out is the smartest time to go out due to a few factors. The major reason we wait, is to let any wood/debris that was locked up in the ice, to sink to the bottom or to float into coves/shoreline areas. Wood or debris typically "settles out" after about a week or so. Im not interested in getting to my camp so badly that I want to damage my hull or transom in the process.

I was on the Boston Marathon Race Committee for 36 years, so the day after Patriots Day was our opening.

The day after the third Monday.
