Another great June day on the Merrimack! The rain this past week had increased the river water level to a new high. The water is the highest we have ever been on the river with, but our beach was still accessable (Thankfully). We also invited my lead guitarist MIke, and his son Devon out for the day. This was the first time that Mike has ever been on the Merrimack with his boat. If you think my boat is old, Mike has a 1964 Starcraft Runabout. It's a little rough around the edges, but it's a 1964!
We started out of Nashua and headed straight for our beach. Once we were all setup, we headed down river for a cruise on my boat into Lowell. There was an event happening at the Lowell Pavillion, and so Mike (being the consummate fisherman) dropped a line in the water and we drifted about listening to the music music.
Whether drifting or running about on the boat, or just lazing around on the beach, I have to say Devon was a great kid. He enjoyed piloting the boats, or fishing with an impromptu rod (made with a stIck, thin wire and a rock). I'm sure he is destined to follow in dad's shoes.
So a good time had by all! Looking forward to next weekend and another great day on the river. So until the next time, we will "See you on the River!".
