........have you taken your boat out this year?

Ours went in the water on May 20th and since then we have been out on it 15
times (13 day and 2 late evening) over those 11 weeks. Considering the fact
that high waves kept us off the water while on Put-In-Bay for the week and
the amount of rain and heavy storms we have had this summer I am surprised
the number is that high.

We still have quite a bit of boating to do this year. I am looking forward
to some good perch fishing later this month. ;-)

So how has your usage been this year?

Every weekend since mid-April, including a weeklong trip into Lake Erie
with a stop in PIB over the 4th of July holiday.

Man, I love the 'Bay!!! Hope to make another trip before the season
ends.

Where on the Bay do you keep your boat?

We often like to go to the beach near Johnson's Island but on the north side
of the Bay.

Is Olive 'Or Twist' still around? It was next to the old Radisson Hotel
(now owned by Cedar Point).

Almost every day since new years

At least twice, but usually three times, every single weekend.

I average about 350 hours on my boats each year.

NOT AT ALL FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!!! (we sold our boat) Insert sob here

But we are looking for a another one. Serious withdrawls.

That's a good point, the hours. I've had my ski boat for 1 year and I have
almost 80 hours on the engine. I hope to get out several more times with
the kids including a labor day campout and then once every one or two weeks
when the lake turns over for some trout fishing.

Nice. Northern boaters are lucky to hit 100 hours/year unless they spend a
lot of time trolling on their main engines.

I would guess 50 to 75 hours is the average for boaters on the Great Lakes.

Launch is normally no earlier than May 1st. Pull out is normally no later
than November 1st.
