Anchored out on Lake Michigan...

Yesterday was only the second day we have had the boat out all summer frown. I can't count how many weekends we have pulled the boat home Friday evening only to see it sit in the driveway all weekend due to our weather.

It is amazing what no cabin, no camper canvas and a toddler will do to a guys boating that is used to being on the boat almost every weekend from middle of April to middle of August idn

Oh well...my wife had a great time and we are actually considering going the in/out route until our kids are a little older. It will allow us to use the boat quite a bit more.

I know how you feel. Its currently raining here, which puts a damper on things. Not having a boat doesn't help things, but even then, between the weather and schedule, its not very conducive this year. Last weekend I got back from two weeks in Jekyll Island, and next weekend I'm flying to Virginia Beach for my cousins wedding. Yesterday was graduation parties all day. gunner2

Not to mention this is our first full year without the cottage -- which really bites, more than not having the boat. c

Next spring I'm hoping to add a boat back into the mix. Already looking at trading the BMW in a couple of months for a used Trailblazer or something... pc

I know the feeling - but you have at least 1 more day on the water than me.

Baseball, Graduations, 3on3 Basketball league, Parades, Block Parties, Boyscouts - its a conspiracy !

Today is looking good for a late afternoon run on the Hudson smile

Yes and no. I do not miss the slip payment or the lack of being able to tow it around. But I did miss the amenities of the cabin and full camper. But, with the limited us any boat we own will get in the next few years I know we made the right decision.

GFC...you are right. Hopefully the rest of the summer allows that.

Well, now, that does it... I'm the last one. Still haven't taken the cover off, haven't even washed her... no plans to either. I want to cry.

WD, your boat is real pretty sitting there in the water and all...

It's always better looking in the water. Nice boat.

I always like how high the Volvo duoprop comes out of the water.
