Boat

Our boat has been in storage for 2 years so it was a happy day when we got it in the water, and it actually worked. But before that, we had to fix the trailer axle (it was bent), get it aligned, and get new tires. We also needed a new battery. The first outing was to a small lake, Brown's Lake, just south of Sioux City. We like to start the boat out at first in a lake so if it doesn't work, at least I can get in the water and swim and tow the boat to shore. Anyway it worked so we were ready for the Missouri River. That's a little more challenging. But when we went, everything worked well. So now we're ready to go boating again. We'll probably go into Sept. and maybe even Oct. if the weather is good. Let us know if you want to go boating. We'll arrange something. Happy Boating.
