Sunset On Summer

 A lovely view from Beausoleil Bay on the first night at anchor aboard the Big Boy;

 And a shot of the sun going down along side the Pefferlaw River, both reflecting it's radiance on Boogaboo IV and the fact that my first season with the new boat is coming too quickly to a close;

New Sea Ray is Coming Home

The 'Big Boy' is safely in Canadian waters & Anchor Girl & I are continuing to enjoy and learn all about the new boat. In a word, I can best describe it as 'AWESOME'!!!!!

 As of today, we've put a total of 525 miles on it so far (we are currently in Parry Sound) and you don't want to know how much gas through it ;-) Oh well, we're only this way (life) once and it has been an ADVENTURE!!! The things we've seen and places we've been, including both Lake - and - River St.Clair and a BIG trek across Lake Huron and the big waters of Georgian Bay with stops in Sarnia, Kincardine, Tobermory, and Midland - not to mention a side trip to Flower Pot Island and more than one encounter with the boys from Canada Customs :-) And the fun continues as we enjoy our time on The Bay with our friends from Water Wings and the Maple Leaf, as well as all the new folks we meet along the way.

 As for our little run in with the water cops from Michigan's own Macoumb County Sheriffs Department, the ensuing investigation and subsequent ticket/fine, well that's a story for another day . . . .

 Here's Number Four at anchor in yet another gorgeous slice of heaven on Georgian Bay known as "Hole In The Wall"

Sea Ray Blvd - Buying a New Boat :-)

I went all the way to Michigan and all I got was this stupid sign;

 Maybe I'll bring something a little bit more substantial next time I go ;-)

2nd Boat Ride For 2010

The past weekend ended up turning out better than forecast, with the sun making an appearance on Sunday - just long enough to relax with some canvas watching, I mean washing on the deck. And thankfully Boogaboo got back in the water on Saturday quickly after the unexpected re haul out and shifter repairs. Ahh, I'll be sure to look a little closer next time I put the drives on . . .

 So, besides the ride to the launch ramp, we were able to get out on the lake for a little cruise up towards Thorah Island and do a first of the year shake down cruise. All is operating well from idle up to go fast speed;

Also, this just in; I am having the firewood delivered on Saturday morning, so dress warm for the stacking party! I hope we do it right!!
