I was out Sat, Sun and Monday. Very long wknd and put 11hrs on the boat, and 3/4 tank of gas. Sat and Sun boat traffic wasn't to bad, I made a river run on Sun and went down to Port Edwards and back up to the lakes, awesome run. Ended the night at the shitest boating bar around...Blarney's. Had some buddies with me that have never been so I showed them the show. Monday took a slow cruise around the northern lakes with the family and then just BBQ'd at the marina. Monday was a shit show with boat traffic, so many idiots out there which I why I was on the water maybe 2 hrs and parked the boat.

[PANDA]

I saw alot of Chain Yachts this weekend. Only 3 or so big 32ft+ crusers on the lower river. They were all out plowing.

I went out to my boat Friday night, picked up supplies and got some cleaning done before people got there on Saturday. Built a picnic table at the harbor for myself and dragged one of my grills out there. Didn't get to do much boating Saturday, boat shit the bed as soon as we got out. We did hang out after the fiasco for a few hours at the harbor though. grilled up a bunch of food and drank my sorrows away.

Monday, I went out to a friends lake house in chaoman lake near Warsaw, IN and had a ton of fun. got there around 10am and didn't get home until 1am this morning. He's got a 20' toon we were putting around and floating on and a pair of PWC. Came in and grilled lunch around 3 and went back out. rode around the PWC drank at too much and did some tubing. got off the water at about 8pm and grilled again for dinner, sobered up and headed home.

Cleaned up the boat this weekend and took it out a few times on LG. The new trim tabs made a huge difference in the comfort in chop. No more bow pointed skyward lol

I still need to get the GPR in. Cleaned it up and charged the battery.

Sandbar near Boca Grande had, literally, hundreds of boats moored side by side. 3 deep in some spots. We decided to go out to the ocean side of Little Gasparilla island and moor about 50' off a beach there. Still a dozen boats but not jam packed and the beach was almost empty.

^^Man I feel like once you've been boating in the ocean you don't ever wanna go back to lakes and rivers.
