Friday = launch day!
 
It's supposed to be about 81 degrees here friday and the days are
getting longer so after work, the 18 ft. Chris Craft will be hitting
the drink at approx 6:30 PM.

That'll give a couple hrs of lapping the lake before it starts getting
cold. I'd go saturday but the temps are going to be in the low 60's
for a high and in the 40's at night. Yeah, gas is now $3.00 a gallon
but I can't stand it any longer. II've already had the small boat out
and put it on the muffs and checked it over and all seems well.

It's time to hit some water.

Still polishing on the 23' Marquis but it will be ready to go by the
end of the month. I still have the licensing issues to deal with on
the pontoon, but it will be hitting the drink before the 4th of July.


High fuel or not, this is the year to boat.. at least for me and mine
it is.

That's the plan, Larry. the weather forcast is getting wierd again,
though. Really heavily overcast and the sky looks like it could bust
loose any moment.

Drat it all!

Tornado watch though centeral Illinois, high southern winds, some
rain, cold front moved in and this morning about 50 degrees. This
afternoon and afternoon and evening, too much stuff to do and tomorrow
is busy and doesn't look good either.

Double Drats!

Oh well......

Better luck next time. It's still early in the season.

Life is too short to go boating in bad weather unless you really have
to. We had a windy, rainy day in paradise yesterday but not much
choice for us since we're still about 1,400 miles from home. It all
evens out though since today is just about perfect.

PS, it looks like we may bypass St Croix on the way back unless you
tell me I have a package there.
