Default boating post.


Took the boat and kayaks to Donner Lake. Fishing was good, catching was
bad. Arrived Sunday, shortly before heavy thunderstorms. Monday, boated
the lake, did some fishing, but got off the lake early when the sky looked
nasty. Just got back to Donner state Park campground, and boat backed in
to the overflow parking, when the sky opened up with large hail, big rain
drops, some lightning. Stayed in the truck for 30-40 minutes, except to
run to the boat and rescue the inflatable PFD, In case the rain drenched
the PFD. Tuesday, kayaked the lake, good workout, as the winds came up.
Wednesday was back to,the boat and the kicker would not run continuously.
Seems as if a fuel problem. Just changed the water fuel separator before
the trip, so may be an air leak in the subsystem. Does not take much to
screw the T-8 Yamaha fuel flow. Did catch a decent bunch of crawdads, from
the creek. Nice with the salad for dinner. Tahoe, and Donner have a huge
population of crawdads. Taste better than fish.
