Maria, cooking our Memorial Day dinner!
We finally launched our boat on Friday, May 23rd and spent conciderable time getting her ready, cleaning and organizing. Everything is "ship-shape" except the windlass, not letting the anchor move up or down. I installed a new antenna for the VHF radio
On Sunday, The VFW had a nice presentation at our dock, throwing a wreath onto the water in memory who's lives were lost in war. including playing "Taps" and a 21 gun salute!Jessie came down on Sunday and stayed the night on board with us (for the 1st time) and Shawn came out on Monday. We spend time teaching both how to operate the jet ski. Both kids had passed their safe boating course allowing them to operate it. Having them carry the waterproof VHF radio on their life vest, I was able to talk to them from our boat's VHF radio, giving them instructions. The jetski is running a little sluggish though, may be bad fuel or need to change out the spark plugs, to improve performance! Both Maria, Jess & Shawn got a ride in a "jetboat" that they enjoyed very much! Of course, Maria wants one.... What else is new!

Maria learned how to drive too!
