    Had a great summer here on the east coast this year. It doesn't really get going until July and you feel Fall coming by the first of September. Lots of clear skies this year and less"strong wind warnings" by Environment Canada.  Only a few weekends left before storage. Didn't get out as much this year but enjoyed every moment out there.

    It's supposed to hit 90 this weekend in Pittsburgh. Heading to the boat for the weekend in a few hours. Boat won't be pulled until the third week in October. Got to go to 3 Steeler home games on her. The first one was last weekend.

    Heinz Field is a couple hundred feet from the 'wall' on the north shore. With all the tailgating and 'hanging out' the festivities extend to the edge of the river. Even for Pirate games. Last year a home run ball landed in a boat that was tied to the wall. A passer-by jumped in the boat to get it and it was all on camera and was played on the local news.

    So after an unusual for end September (and record breaking) 90 degree day with a couple more to come, here's a shot as we returned to the boat club after an afternoon floating around lapping up what will soon come to an end.

    Sure was an amazing weekend!  We anchored with one other boat both nights.  Just sat, chilled, ate, enjoyed floating in the water and even enjoyed a little college football!  Weather was perfect!  I love boating this time of year!!

    Man did I mess up this past Sunday. It was a beautiful day (low 80's) and the water was a little rough but very doable. I stayed at the Yacht Club and watched the Pat's game instead of going for most likely the last ride of the year........... My bad

    This summer has been the most boating I've ever done, felt like 3 or 4 days each week!  Spent the entire weekend out on the islands with random friends, perfect way to end the season!! Looks like the colder air comes in next weekend.. I'm actually ready for it. Will not be happy in Feb.

    I kind of had the best of both worlds.  I anchored out with another Rinker friend from Fri-Sun.  Brought a TV out to put in the cockpit.  Sat out on a raft behind the boat, had college football on in the background.  That and a Mai Tai made it perfect!  It'll probably be the last swimming until next year.

    I just could not imagine not being able to hang out in the water.  That is really one of the things I enjoy most.  Especially in a nice sandy bottom and tie up close enough to stand behind boat.  We do get jellyfish for about a month in late July.  But, we can either just go to the top of our river or go about an hour north and then it's fresh water.  Even with the jellies you can still sit on a raft.

    We spent Sunday in the water of LSC.  The water was about 70, and the outside temp was around 90.  Sadly it was one of the best days we've had all season.

    There are places- one nice spring you can go up in bit its a ways...you just have to stay where boats congregate. I always tell my kids I don't have to out swim the gator, just out swim them!
