I learned lots on here and took advice etc. from several people so nice and helpful! We have gone out 2x Monday and yesterday and although stressful for new boaters.. we are doing pretty good and hope to build our confidence more and more as we launch, dock and load more. We pulled a towable for the first time yesterday, so much fun! Plan to gets lots of practice this summer!
The kids make it happen. Had 4 and the Sunday routine was church, home to change, fast food joint, gas station, lake!
After things around here got really populated and crowded on the weekends, I'd have everything ready the day before, come home from work, change, hit the FF again and the gas and play till dark......dark limit for water toys. Still cruised around at times. Had a 20k candlepower portable spot for getting through the stump filled areas.
Vacations were at granny's house which was lake front. Would spend 2 weeks there. One year we had a lot of stuff including a boat/motor for the kids and the one for all of us and it took 2 vehicles to haul all the stuff down there and back. Usually grandpa would have a construction project planned and we'd make a family effort out of it with her siblings and their families being there too. Great sport, memories priceless.
