Last weekend we logged a lazy Sunday afternoon on our boat. We never left our slip but we had a great afternoon. It seems like just being aboard is a big component of the relaxation process. We cleaned, made some minor repairs / adjustments and had some snacks and beverages. There were a lot of boats out and since it was a designated "dry weekend", the DNR and other authorities were out in full force doing safety inspections and ticketing violators.
July 1st ushers in the change in the DUI law for boats. The legal limit drops from .1 to .08. I expect the July 4th Holiday will bring about another weekend of heavy patrols by the DNR and Coast Guard. Being on the river over the July 4th weekend has always reminded of going out on New Years Eve - lots of people who venture out once or twice a year.
We will undoubtedly be spending time on our boat over the weekend - will we leave the slip?...probably. Will we keep an extra sharp eye out for inexperienced folks on the water?...you bet!
Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th!
