This weekend my wife and I took out our new to us boat for the second time. It was awesome.
The first trip out alone was a cloudy/sunny day with temperatures in the low 70"s and the surface temperature of the water was 57 degrees. Yikes! We had a good time driving the boat around and being on the water, but it was a little chilly for a great day. Well, fast forward one week and we experienced fantastic conditions.
The temperatures were low to mid 80's outside and the surface temperature had jumped to 66 degrees. We had a couple of friends on the boat and we were really able to enjoy ourselves. We even opened up the Bimini top and enjoyed the shade for a little while.
I'm extremely excited about this summer and appreciate that we have such a nice boat. We have worked hard for years and it seems to be the one place that I am able to spend money without being too cheap. It's great because we really enjoy being on the water and it is a good social activity. We take out family and friends all the time.
Also, my wife was able to water ski a little bit. She has a brand new slalom ski that is more aggressive than anything she has ever used before. She couldn't get up on it but she was able to start on two and drop the extra. I need a lot more practice driving the boat and she needs more practice without an audience to learn her to new ski. Excited about the next few months!!
