Sorry Jerry, just an impulse trip from my new house where I’m living. I just decided that by my old addage “You have to be down there to boat”, I’d just GO! And I did, total impulse, Plus I had just purchased a pretty pink almost new sprayskirt from Eileen Lenkman I found from a Facebook post she made about having it for sale. Figured I had to try it out.
I didn’t read your post until Mon evening. No, I would have liked to stay down there for Sun night and boated Mon too, especialoly with you, but I didn’t pack for that, just for a day’s run. I felt all out of practice boating, missing doing a lot of things I know I USED to be able to do. I’m rusty, but I did pretty well. And Tracey R told me at one point I looked “smooth”, so… Felt good about my boating, was a beautiful day on the river, which I miss a lot. It’s still “my river” as I remember it!
I was also doing a shakedown of my new house that I’m living at, and it’s boating “facilities”. I have a big screen porch off the kitchen in the back and a big deck too, plus a 3 car garage. I keep all my boats and gear in the screen porch, and the whole setup works perfect for me!
The Saint’s gonna be out of water very soon, so I don’t know when I might be back down. But Sunday proved to me that I still have what it takes, so I’m very hopefull!
