I tool the wife and our 7 year old daughter out several times the past few days on out neighbors 86 SeaRay. I would like to post some of the video's of it but with the language the wife used would not be good to post. It was words of happiness and excitement. I have never seen her so excited about something like this. My lil girl was somewhat scard at first but now she says "Go faster Daddy". 7 foot seas didnt bother them at all, They wanted me to keep going.

It was clam out today when we went out and only was out for 2 hours, But those 2 hours was enuff to clear the mind of shore life. It is nice to get out even for a short time. It helps calm the mind and relax the body. If I would of thought that boating would have such a positave effect on us I would of bought a boat along time ago. Now my Wife says we need to get ours fixed no matter what. It has helped us grow closer as a family and that is priceless.

Great. Glad you had a good day out in the water..i was going to go yesterday but the wind was up to much and i'm still in the learning process of docking, maybe friday the winds will die down.....
 
It sure looks like Jonathon Hilstrand. If it's not him, he could be his twin brother.

Really 7 feet and they were having fun? Ha! My wife starts to get uneasy when it begins to approach 2 feet (kids grab onto the handle and -try- to get the boat to jump higher as they leap upwards themselves). Our boat is pretty small, but...I don't think you'd catch me out at the helm in any kind of boat with 7 foot seas...

Agree with you that the boating life is priceless. Love it!
