So its winter now...


So apparently we have not done so well with keeping this updated with our first year experience?

Bottom line we had a great summer. My wife & I loved every minute on the water... The kids however felt a bit differently. Belle was ok with it but never excited & pretty much was just happy playing video games down below when we went out. Max was a different story as it seemed every time we got the boat out of the dock he was ready for a nap and was a bit small to take a nap without rolling around a lot which meant no sleeping and one of us was generally stuck holding/managing a frustrated kid.

I'm hoping the 2010 season goes better but I don't see the kids getting excited about it until they are big enough to actually help out more. For now we are planning a two week boat trip this summer. I would like to make Mackinaw Island but doubt we will make it that far with the family?

We still have a number of projects & am planning to replace all three of the large hatches this year, replace the headliner, and reseal all of the windows before putting the boat back in the water this year. Additionally I'm hoping to get the current name off the boat & a new name made to put on as well. Any wagers on how many of these will actually happen?
