Captain's Blog - June 7, 2015

It was another good boating weekend.  Saturday was spent making repairs to the trailer lights on the van.  This past week Deb dropped Yasmin off at school, the next thing she knew, there was a crowd of people around the van pointing at the back.  When Deb got to the van, smoke was pouring out of the back.  Apparently, the module that relays the signal to the trailer, shorted and flamed out.  Luckily no damage was done to the van. It also doesn't hurt to have a mechanic in the family who specializes in electrical.

Once repairs were made, Deb and I were off to the ramp in Lowell.

We made it in the water by 10:00, and headed straight to our camp.  There was a cool breeze, so we took our time.  Glad we did, because we may have missed a bald eagle hunting.

 

What a spectacular sight first thing in the morning.  

We also caught up with our nieghbor, both at home, and on the river, Artie.  Hi, Artie!  After our good mornings, Deb and I headed to the camp.  It was a very nice day, just Deb and I.  It's not too often we get a day to ourselves on the boat, so it was really nice.  No work, just relaxing and enjoying the boat, and each other's company.

At around 6:00, Rob gave us a call to pick him up in Lowell for a night time cruise.  He hadn't been on the boat at night, and wanted to see the lights, and enjoy the evening.

It was a little breezy still, until the sun went down, and the winds died.  

We cruised along side the board walk, and received many thumbs up for the boat.  At around 9:00 we decided to head home.  It was another successful day on our little rowboat.  Looking forward to next weekend and my dad joining us on the river.  So until then, see you on the river.
