Spring test outing a success

In the interest of posting something about boating my spring test run
was all good. I take a solo outing each spring at our local lake.
Nothing worse that having a boat load of people and then having
mechanical troubles on the first outing of the summer. I run it in
the driveway for a while first then if thats all good I go for the
lake. At the lake I cruise back and forth about a mile each way from
the ramps. That way I won't have trouble getting a tow back to the
ramp from a good samaritan if things don't go so well.
But it wasn't such a good day for others. Boat traffic was light but
someone was towing a big jetski with 2 adults and a kid on it back to
the ramp just as I was putting in. Then on 3rd pass at one end of my
run two people on their boat near the shore were waving both arms. I
went over and they had a dead battery. So I finished my test run by
towing them back to the dock.
I guess the boat gremlins were satisfied wth them because I escaped
unscathed.
I'm getting anxious to do the same.
As soon as the warm sunny weather returns, I'll hook the Yukon up to
my RAV4 & head for the nearest lake for a shakedown run.
Did you get any recalls on you RAV4?
