After stuttering our way through the ABCs of boating with a few "A"s and a "B" and then "A" again, here we are at "C" (Cruise).
Our inaugural cruise was great. I had a minor hiccup, mainly just an embarrassment compounded by the fact that I had an audience. Mental note... untie ALL of the ropes before leaving the slip. Otherwise you look like a moron! Hahaha Like I said, no damage other than my pride. The new carburetor made a noticeable difference in how the motor runs and hopefully will bump up our mileage a tad as well.
My fiberglass project over the winter turned out great as well. I rebuilt the mushy feeling engine hatch and it turned out great - solid as a rock.
We had a wonderful time on the water and made one of our favorite trips. We like to cruise past our house. It always looks so massive from the river and it's a good feeling to know that's where we live.
So our trip through the ABCs of Boating is now complete for 2013. To be repeated in 2014 hopefully in a more straightforward manner.
