After all the Mother's Day stuff, I asked my oldest grandson if he wanted to take a ride with me to the Dry Stak and finish getting Nut & Honey ready to splash. I had the freshly cleaned snap-in carpet on the back seat of my car.
I told the wife where we were going. She gave me that wave off, like go do what ya want! Guess She didn't hear the part where I said that we were going for our shake down cruise!
What a great afternoon it turned out to be......70 degrees, sunny, a light chop on the Mississippi. The last thing that was left to do was fire up the genny and check all the systems. 15 minutes later, we shoved off for a run up river. I didn't want to quit.
There were a few die-hard boater/campers on the Princeton Beach. It was only in the 40's Saturday night, with high winds. I am sure it was a long night for some of them.
The boat ran great. Everything worked like it was supposed too!. We cruised for a while at 3600 giving us a speed of about 26 MPH. The only thing we forgot to put on the boat was TP.
Loaded a couple of new Brent Burns CD's in the changer and cranked the volume up!.
I was supposed to get my grandson back home by 7 PM. We had a minute to spare........
