Took the boat to Pohick Bay yesterday, after noticing how well the new cover is
working out. Some very heavy rain got my neighboring boat's cover over the past
couple weeks. He is now a believer in the use of tight straps rather than bungee
cords for keeping his cover taut.

Daughter, SIL, and grandkids arrived at the launch ramp about the same time I
did, so no one had to wait. With three adults and four little ones, the boat was
pretty full. The Yamaha 150 had no problem getting us moving though.

I might even have a new boat captain in the making...

We got to a little boaters beach outside Occoquan, VA, anchored and let the kids
start running around.

The kids wanted to do some tubing, which I'd never tried before. This was the
tube I got last fall. Worked well, and they had a blast. The picture takers kept
using the zoom, so most of the tubing shots didn't come out.Here's my daughter
having fun...

Daughter took this picture of my $30,000 towel rack.

Great time had by all!

Best $30K you ever spent, I sure. Those rear seats are cool as hell!


And, they come out. For fishing, I take them out, leave them in the car or
garage. The mounting holes are the same size and configuration as rod holders,
without the angle. Gives me eight rod holders in that little 18'er. I like the
boat more and more each time I use it, now that I've got the ground wire tight!


Well, it's the perfect tool for your needs, obviously... Keep posting
those reports, great to see the kids having so much fun.
