Thought I would give our first season update (even though it is not the end) We had our baby Girl June 11, 2012 Emersyn Abigail. She is now 10 weeks old and has been boating 8 weekends of her life! She seems to love every aspect of being on the boat. We have become regulars at Liberty Lake where it is just big enough for a ride and not large enough to draw much of a crowd. This lake matches our boating style as of now as it involves a couple laps and tossing the anchor to chill for the day. We went out on Lake Coeur d'Alene and Hayden lake while my parents were up here while we had extra hands to help. So many options up here.

Overall it has been a very enjoyable and successful first season. We love our boat and look forward to the memories to come!

Another boating season is upon us and oh how it has changed since last season.
We now have an almost 1 year old and she no longer stays in the cabin and naps. We went out on May 11th for the first time and she had an absolute ball on the boat. We got all new toys for the cabin that will stay on the boat so they are always fun when she gets to play with those.

We have been taking swimming classes with her and they seemed to have worked as she desperately wanted to get in. The water was nearly 70 degrees so she got in and out twice. Before the season started my wife and I decided we wanted to get a bimini top for more sun coverage for her protection. I got a local estimate and an estimate from Great Lakes. We chose Great Lakes and added the camping canvas as well.

I was very impressed with the outcome for a nearly 14 year old boat. Cant wait to make more memories come summer!

Welcome to CSR! I remember when my daughter was that age, we had a 1977 SRV 180 with a 150 johnson outboard. She loved being out on the boat and grew up boating. She is 27 now and still loves to come with us when she can. You have a great looking boat there. Enjoy your season and have a safe summer.
