Wife and I took our 16 Xcalibur out to Grand Lake for a 2 hour spring commission cruise on Wednesday.
Started up as soon as I turned the key (well, maybe 2 seconds).
This is on the treated gas pumped early November of last year.
Wind kicked up and the larger portion of the Lake developed 2 to 2.5 waves.
Wife doesn't like me pounding over them so we headed in....and wouldn't you know it, the lake calmed somewhat as we hauled out.

Wife And I were sleeping in our yacht 3 nights ago when it started
raining heavily and the SL winds picked up to 70 and peaked at 80. We
battened down the hatches and rode it out. Luckily, we sustained no
damage, however, there was extensive flooding and tree and structure
damage nearby. God must have been watching over us. ;-)


We weathered the high winds at Solomons' Island in the trailer. They didn't hit 70mph though!



We cruised by on the Pax in front of the navy rec center this weekend,
and encountered a really bad smell coming from the shoreline. I should
have guessed it was Aroma of Aging White Racist.
