Everyone's Boat Ready?

NH, please cool it with sumr. I am so happy he is joining us and let's have fun with him and not make him mad. I want him to stay. PLEASE!! Sumr, NH is half agitating and half serious about what he says. Please don't pay any attention to him if he makes a statement that bothers you. I don't want to lose you.

I've got a photo from the 60's from Abenaki Tower. I'll need to bring that up and compare the views.

What are we missing here?

Sumr, I am very sorry I deleted your post by mistake. I thought I was deleting mine because when I quoted your's it didn't look like a quoted post.

If you see this, please post again, but basically I think you said was you have 5 boats joining you on Saturday and you wanted to know if anybody else was around. My reply to you was what is below:





You and your mechanics are going to ride around with 5 other boats? Where are you going? We don't even have a boat in yet. But the docks will be in Saturday!!! Is Red Hill going with you?

Yes WHL.. No problem... We are going out Saturday. I just got the call that OCD is all cleaned and ready to be picked up tomorrow. Barring no issues we will be out on Saturday all day.

No major plans other than meeting up with 4-5 boats. They are coming from all different sides of the lake so I may propose meeting in winter harbor. Seems like a nice location.

You are over by the museum correct? I doubt I can get 5 boats of people to stop but at least we can do a wave by!. Red is on vacation and won't be back in time to join us unfortunately.

I will send you a pm.

sounds good! Hope to see you at some point.

Did you get the pm?

nope.. it says I have no new messages and when I click on the tab it says my mailbox is empty.

well the truck is all packed. Just have to put together an overnight bag and my target practice equipment. I always go to the range when I am at the lake. Another great stress reliever.

Then off to pick up OCD from the detailer. Really looking forward to seeing her all done up!

Hmmm. Wonder what happened to it. I will try again.

How did it go yesterday, sumr??

it went GREAT!!!! I am sorry I missed you. I did make it up to your place but couldn't stick around too long for one of my passengers is one of the chefs at the woodshed and she had to get to work. I also didn't know if you had any rocks so I did not come in too close. Beautiful house you have!!!!

Everything went great. Met up with a few boats over the day. I tried to stop by and wave to all my friends. We dubbed it my "farewell cruise".

We left my house in moultonboro, to rattlesnake, picked up another boat, to Glendale, up to braun bay, picked up another boat, to ames farm, to alton, back to Glendale, to center harbor for lunch, to winter harbor, back home, then back to rattlesnake then back home. So definitely burnt some fuel!

Did you go by about 2:30? Just your one boat and maybe three people in it? If so, I saw you. I had just gone in and when I saw the boat I went out, but I don' t think you saw me. We don't have any rocks at all. So glad she ran well anyway.

Yup that was me! I didn't see you. So sorry. I milled around for a minute or two but had to get my friend back up to my house by 3 PM so I honked the horn, waved and headed out. Glad you at least got to see the boat for her last tour of the lake.

Well, glad I at least saw you, too! She sounded really good when you took off and looked really nice too! But I have a feeling you will be back with her-sometime.

Keep us posted on your move.

Thank you! We ended up taking one last blast over to Rattlesnake and a slow cruise back. We got over to Rattlesnake and realized we were running low on fuel. It is amazing how long it takes to go from full to 1/2 but almost no time at all from 1/2 to E.

Anyway great great weekend. Had a couple of minor issues mechanically but we took care of them.

It was definitely a weekend to remember.

Only 24 days to the move. I now have to kick it into high gear packing.

Moving is such a pain. Are you going to try to do it yourself, or get a professional? We had some friends who moved themselves to Florida.

Oh God.. A professional of course!

I have to tow the boat however....

Oh good! THat is smart. Our friends UHAUL broke down and what a mess! Glad you are taking that route. I wouldn't even like towing the boat but lots of people do it and you have hauled it around so much, it probably won't even bother you.

OK, sumr.  How is it going?  Long time, no hear and we have been wondering about you and your move!

Good Morning!

Living it up here in Florida. Lots and lots of unpacking. We are finally getting settled and the house is coming together. Been out on the boat only once but will be using her much more this week! Outside of that the kids have adjusted very well. They love our pool and I have made good friends in the neighborhood already. Much less stress here. I don't have to pack all my activities into a 3 month time frame.... So loving it! Thanks for asking.

'Know a guy named Cookman up here?

are you asking me or WHL?

If me, then no I am not sure who you are speaking of.

Only that a neighbor asked me about the name. I'll guess Cookman has an oversized boat, and has (or is) moved to the west coast of Florida.
