Boating again
In response to Tvindy's quite reasonable demand for a photo after my previous boating report, here's the more complete report of today's boat excursion in pictures instead of diagrams.
The boat is truely better looking in pictures than in person. But, nonetheless, the fellow who launched his (40 years newer) boat just after us today thought our boat was a real gem. Especially after it started from the helm in under a minute with just a few adjustments of the controls and the push of a button.
We had been anxiously awaiting today's boating all week with two days of dry, clear, 80 degree weather and with a forecast of 70 degrees with only 10% chance of rain. Then, it was worrying to have cool and rainy weather most of the day in Eugene today. But, we set off with high hopes only a half hour after our planned launch and enjoyed three hours of no rain and the pleasant high temperature of the day.
Our voyage was purely frivolous as we crossed the lake from one park to another, enjoyed a picnic dinner expertly chosen by Anne Marie, watched Lauren enjoy the park's playground, then returned across the lake again to our starting point, arriving just as the rain was resuming and the sun was setting.
Excellent!
Well done! Now, get some fishing poles!
That hull looks like it's from the time when they laid up the glass as thick as the wood they were trying to replace. -Pretty indestructable.
Good luck and have fun.
