Unlike the political whores, I went boating this weekend.
Took the boat up to Lake Oroville, Calif. Ramp is about as steep as the
boating mishap ramp, except is about 1000' longer. Lake is down about 60' so can not get all the way up to Feather Falls, but still 4-500' of water in the lake. Did a little fishing, watched a great 4th fireworks show on the lake. All the houseboats line the dam area, for the fireworks, eliciting the comment from a nearby spectator "Holy ****! look at all those lights. Looks like Las Vegas". Weather was warm, in the high 90's and stayed hot until about 1 am. Did a little fishing, caught a few bass, and couple of silver salmon. Boat has had a small leak that I have not been able to find. Well, pulling the boat on the 5th, the leak showed itself. Small 1/8" size corrosion hole in the lower part of the anchor locker. Epoxied for Tuesday boating. Will have to see if more corrosion, was round like, a small piece of copper wire, or something fell in the locker. 0.190" thick aluminum. All in all a great weekend, with my wife, a queen among wives. The Feather river was giving up some spring run king salmon, but too hot to fish for them. Spent a lot of time swiming. Bill |
