Sounds like Tuesday was great for some of you too. I had just one of my 2 kids so we had a dad date. Went over to Y landing for no reason & then on to Center Harbor to see if anything was going to happen there. Alas not a single bonehead to be seen.
After hanging around a bit I gave my daughter the helm for a mile or two. That was fun since she's not old enough to drive a car yet. It's good for them to understand what the shift, trim & throttle do. You never know when there will be a problem. Of course she declared that she could take it to the ramp for me when I pull it, but I don't think so, not yet. I told her that this boat is kind of special to me and I didn't think I could just hand it off to a teen. Plus it's too powerful for a kid in my view. We walk before we run.
I just want to go on record as saying that lake weekdays are a lot like 40 years ago when I first was on Winni. Very few boats, lots of room to operate, no idiots. In a word, idyllic.
Now if I could just break my wife & kids of their need to go to the ocean I'd be all set! That's where I will spend the rest of the week, miss you lake!
