Had My Opening Day!
Nothing but fair weather in California with an occasional rain shower this
year. Bad tidings for lake levels and drinking water for this overpopulated
state!
On the other hand, great days for taking the boat out! I cleaned up my
boat, Sea Ray 185 Sport, and charged the battery and fired up the motor last
weekend. Yesterday, my friend called and said "Let's go fishing." I said,
"Ok."
We trailered to Clear Lake and launched at Lakeport. Light winds. Blue
skies. Mid 70's. Uncrowded (it's a big lake and it was a weekday). Flat
water. Deli sandwiches, sodas, double-stuff Oreo's, Opened up the throttle
a couple of times, otherwise just cruised from fishing hole to fishing hole
for 8 hours on a beautiful day.
Boat ran well and all things seem in order for a fresh boating season. It
was a great day!
