I splashed successfully today!

Beautiful day in northern California with rain, again, on the horizon.
Blue skies. High '70's. Just a few fishermen tucked away in their spot
for the day. A few kayakers. And me with the radio playing both kinds
of music, country and western, and open waters.

I had a few hours of solo time on the water just zipping around making
sure all systems were go.
The speedometer broke! The little clippy thing at the outdrive was broke
so it wasn't staying on. Already repaired.
4.5 gallons per hour averaging 30-35 mph.
First day and I've got a killer farmer's tan underway.

All set for taking the family out with friends on Memorial Day weekend.

Cheers!


Congratulations Bryan.


Thanks, if felt great being on the water again!
