We had a fun trip to Silverwood Lake before the Drapers took off to Nebraska. Grandpa J brought his canoe out, so we could have fun in the little cove too.

Although this was in a pool in Palm Springs in May of 2007 I'll still post this here since our little twins enjoyed their boats.

I stumbled onto a great site via myspace.com to www.theboaters.tv to www.theboaters.com. TheBoaters crew is Captained by Julie, a bubbly and charismatic host with a pure passion for boating.

Ahoy!

Dusk from our cottage.
We took a nice trip up to Riverland on the Kings river. Riverland is a neat little area that has waterfront cottages, a pool and spa, a park and RV camping (among other things). It took us about 4 hours to get the cottage cooled down as it was pretty hot during the day. We launched the boat when we got there, just Tanya and I, and I finally made my first big boating faux pas. I launched the boat without putting the drain plug in. Now most honest boaters that I know will admit to doing this at least once, but I still felt pretty sheepish as I jumped in the freezing river and put the plug in with the bilge pump going. I caught it pretty much right away since I keep the plug on a wire on the helm. Once I made a turn and felt the plug whip past my heart sank.



We had a really good time although I don't recommend the river for I/O's.

We made it out to Lake Elsinore on 4/25/2007. The water was cold, but I got in and had a couple of decent runs on the wakeboard. The season has started, hopefully it will be a good year.

Summer is almost here. It sure felt like it was boating season this past weekend.
