Birthday party for her sister yesterday (real b-day was the second) and the 4th of July. This is what happens when you boat the next day, LoL! She never falls asleep in the car(both of my daughters) This is the first time I had to wake her up in a car. She was out!

yup!

PickleRick

Any updates on what he's found?

J3ff

Nothing yet, who knows if he's even started, dont forget it's in the keys.. sigh. 

PickleRick

Ah yes...the keys....id love to buy a place down there.

I can afford a slip in marathon. The only stipulation is i could only live aboard 6 months a year.  Sadly i had to walk away as that was a deal bresker

It's so nice. Not sure about your rinkers, but mine seems to make noise, creeks/cracks when in some bigger waves.. this sea ray was just so solid, we were out in 2/3 ft waves and there was no noise like that. Felt like a tank... all digital helm was nice. Someday maybe.

@DanD2 , you guys weren’t going anywhere!! Looks like you have 14 anchors out??

LOL.....We always put out 3 per boat. Sometimes storms hit the lakes region and they really blow up and can be pretty nasty. Also due to the fireworks later that night, there was going to be a lot of wave action from heading back after.

@PickleRick as to not go off topic here I'm going to update the other thread, lets just say I just sent a strongly worded email to the mechanic who HASN'T touched the boat yet. 

PickleRick

the admiral wanted a 4x4 toy.  I got her a 99 discovery 2 with approximately 224k.  

And yes she's already told me she wants a diesel swap.  Yes i already have an extra passat for donor motor.  However, she's been told she's driving it with the fuel guzzling v8 until I'm done with my  4runner resto mod.    She's also going to be bank rolling her project.

GMSLITHO

Your a busy guy 

PickleRick

I am. I had to stop taking in side work at home.  Work will resume on the 4 runner once boating season is over.

When I sold my boat in the fall I came across this project for $1000 started in the fall but got too cold to continue then in March I bought my 242 now with that in the water I’m back on this got the rotted floor  out and ready for the rebuild  

PickleRick

That looks a little faster than a 242!

cool fishing boat, nothing wears a guy out more that climbing in and out working on a boat. big project.

GMSLITHO

that’s  funny I was in and out today cutting the floor and was thinking at least I’m not climbing the ladder

Aqua_Aura

Getting some use out of the old gal, also we used the boat 😉. This is a dock in a side channel of the Columbia that one of the clubs owns. 

randy56

Weather must be cool momma has a blanket. 

Aqua_Aura

She's always cold 😐 I was in my... well let's call them swim shorts 😂. After we got back there was a boat that broke down and needed a tow off the shoreline so we brought the dinghy to take them a line then pulled them off

Here's our last campsite on Lake Powell a couple weeks ago. Heading back again on Thursday.

Aqua_Aura

That's not a campsite looks more like you're moving in. That's a nice set up. 

randy56

Unbelievable how far the water is down. Hope you guy's get some rains'.

Thanks!  It's actually only an EZ up, and a few chairs, and one table on the beach for the BBQ.

A couple back to back crappy years of minimal snow in Colorado have caused water levels to plummet big time.  Hoping for a TON of snow this winter!
