Boat Ride!

Now we have had this boat for 10 years. It's nothing fancy, just a little speed boat. 20 feet of fun in the sun!!!! Two years ago at the end of summer we had used it twice and needed some work done over that winter. We spent lots of money on it and had a lot of things done. Well, last summer it never ran. We tried. It was still not running. We were sad but too busy to use it much anyway. So we had it in again. They said it was good. We tried to start it in June and the thing wouldn't start! After all we'd been through we still didn't have a boat that would run. So sad.

So this summer we had it back at the shop. Getting a little tired of this, but we want it working. Finally got the call that it was done last week and today had the opportunity to put it in the water and test it out! Not only did it start right up, it ran great!!! We just tooled around for a couple hours, no swimming or tubing today, but at least we now know its running. Hope we can get a slip at a marina next year so we can use it more often, but that's still in the works so we will see. We have a marina in mind so if it happens I'll be super happy!!!!

Here's a shot of David on the boat today. He wanted to go but seems less than thrilled here. I think he wanted to go tubing or something. Whatever. At least we can go next time!!!!
