Procrastination finally pays off!!! Great day for a ride.

With my work schedule and kids soccer, I have not had time to winterize the boat yet. To my surprise, great sunny November Sunday afternoon with nothing to do but take one last boat ride. Air temp was 67 degrees. Saw a nice blue hull Sundancer out cruising as well as a couple of other boats. The card on our good camera died so I took the following pics with my Blackberry. Not the best quality, but best I could do once we were on the water:

Water temp was 52.8 degrees on the chart plotter, a little cold for a swim!

Nicer there than here! Saturday barely hit 60 then rained pretty good. Sunday was warmer but the rain came back last night. I hope this weather pattern stops in the next few weeks before Thanksgiving (which will be on the water) and a lighted boat parade the next weekend!

Thanksgiving (which will be on the water)

I've got other plans for Thanksgiving, you may know what I'm talking about............LOL


Oh, and that bowrider looks just like ours, it has been a sweetheart of a boat!

Yes, same specs as yours. I am the second owner and have owned her for 4 years now. Absolutely love the boat, just wish it had the snap in carpet!

I've owned this boat for 5 years. It came with green snap in carpet. SnapInCarpets did not have templates on file for this boat, so I shipped my carpet to them and they made new Dunes carpet............huge upgrade over the green stuff. Hey, maybe they now have templates on file.

I wish I had that option, all the carpet in ours is glued down.

Great pics! I am actually going over to the beach tomorrow with my family and meeting my buddy & his family there too. Probably do a BBQ-ing and toss around the football/baseball. Take a walk around the nature trail then head home! It's supposed to be 62 and sunny. Great way to spend the day after I go vote for the lesser of 2 evils!

Cold water is fun on a warm day but I require life jackets on all in my CV16 or CV-23.....too easy to get tossed out. The 270 is not an issue where I boat.....plenty of time to get a jacket on if there is trouble. Liked your video!...Mike.

My wife is always cold. It was about 62 degrees when we pulled the boat out of the water. We all had a good time. She was more mad about being in the pictures after being wind blown.

Great hearing the football game in the background... We hoped to go out in November, but the timing was not good for us...

It was a nice day to be out. Listening to the game made it better. It is tough being a Bengals fan most of the time, but this year has been a little better. If you look in the 7th picture that is the Cincinnati Reds stadium, and the 8th picture shows the Bengals stadium, although they were TN.
