Captin's Blog - August 3, 2014

So we finally made it out on the river alone, for the first time this season.  We had a lot that we wanted to get accomplished, so it was a work/rest day on the Merrimack.

The biggest project was getting our old patio table to the beach along with a cooking table that we could leave there.  We headed out of Lowell early on Sunday.  And headed straight to the camp.  Once we got the table setup we were so happy that we made the effort to get it there.

It feel so nice to sit at a table and eat.  You don't realize how much these comforts add to the experience until you have them.

The next project was to create a better situation for women on the beach.  According to Deb, it's just not comfortable squatting behind a tree with you but hanging out as boat go by.  women, GO FIGURE!  So we created a little bit better rest tree.

 

So it's not the Hilton, but we don't charge either!

 

So we've been wanting to add some video to the blog to show a little bit more of the experience.  This first video.  It is just a few short clips from this trip.

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the ride, so until next time .  .  .  See you on the River!

This trip we decided to get out of the house early, and get to the beach for a full day.  We left out of Lowell again, and made it to the camp in 15 minutes.  Since we left most of our seasonal furniture on the beach, there wasn't much to take.  Convincing myself we had it all there, I did leave our cooking table behind.  I hate getting old and feeble!

 

Even so, we made out just fine.  Of coarse the first activity Yasmin wanted to get going, was fishing!  As usual she had a fish on the line every couple minutes or so.  Next is teaching her to bait and release her own hooks.  We did go for a nice ride into Lowell again, and stopped at our favorite swimming beach.  Got some great pics of Yasmin practicing for the Olympic dive team.

 

 

 

What do you say .  .  .  is this kid a 10+ or what!

 

So after a long hard day of playing and swimming, Yasmin settled into my hammock for a rest.  This proves my love for my granddaughter.  She is the only person I would give up my hammock for.

It was a great day all in all.  Can't wait for the next cruise, until then   .  .  .  See you on the River!
