OK, got the boat's trailer prepared for our upcoming river trip to Charleston. All four wheel bearings checked and re-packed, tires checked and at proper pressure, lights checked. Was a good excuse to breal out the air impact as well. :-)

Two other couples are going with us, looking forward to it. Anybody else got a boat trip planned?

I'm still working on preparing mine. I had some setbacks this spring
and it's still giving me time to prepare my 23' Marquis. I want it to
be comfortable and ready to go hit the river next year. A friend of
mine gave me a Garmin Marine GPS, because he was updating his so he
gave me his old one.

We're planning on dropping in the Ohio river, either at Elizebethtown
or Cave In Rock, follow the Ohio and go up the Cumberland river to
Lake Barkley, through Ky Lake and probably end up in Nashville Tenn. I
realize there's always something that can go awry, but I want the boat
outfitted and as sure as I can make it.

Haven't gone boating this year because the midwest is under a drought
and the lakes and rivers are extremely low. Too low for my comfort.

So, I have time to plan for next year. That is *IF* we get some water
to float on. LOL!



You could always get an RV camper and pretend it is a boat.
