What a day for boating

By the time I got out there (about 20 miles north of the city) the wind had already picked up and there were whitecaps on 2.5' waves. Didn't matter.. I went as fast as I could while keeping the boat under control. Once.. when the wind and waves were slowing me down, I jumped into the wake of a larger fiberglass boat and planed along. Man... did the boat ever get skittish... felt like i was zipping along on ice. This lake sure did get deep out in the center.... *Lowrance was reading well over 100 feet before it jumped to 257 and then well over 300... don't know if that depth was accurate or just a glitch... I'll have to look up and see what the actual recordrd depths are. I tried to do a quick calculation of how many Puny Ponytails would have to be standing on each others shoulders to reach that depth and it was mind boggling. A good number of the trees had turned colour but it was more muted than vibrant. Beautiful day and a fun but somewhat rough ride for the late boating season. What? A boating post? Here? :)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Who knows... might start a new trend. ;-) |
