Ready to explore beyond the shore

Finally, y'all. I took delivery of our boat when I was at the lake last week and I'm thrilled. Oh sure, it's over a month later than what the sales guys promised us on this custom build. But whatever. I'll finally be able to break out my captain's hat for some cruising.


Since our last lake house had a boat cradle, I was unsure about storing it in the slings that are more common at this new place. Local boaters swear by them, but they just seem so flimsy to me in comparison to a solid boat cradle. And so in addition to having the boat delivery guys fill 'er up with ethanol free gas en route to launch her, I had them help me get our patriotic red, white and blue tritoon safely docked. We hoisted it out of the water and then I got a lesson in how to attach the cover to keep it clean until we can get back up there for a fun-in-the-sun 4th on the water.

 
 

Tomorrow, before the crack of dawn, we kick off our eleven day land and cruise tour vacation to the last frontier. So be prepared for a slew of Alaska posts when I get home.
