Best Day on the Bay (so far this season)

[wings&wheels]

I'll be the first to say that boats are a pain, incredibly maintenance hungry (from a guy who plays with English cars) can be expensive, on and on.... But deys like this are worth it. Wife and I have a few hours free up today and we grabbed a turkey sub from the local market (Boars Head, we live dangerously), few wates and iced coffee and went for what started as a quick drift and picnic, but turned into that plus a long a cruise around the Bay and open water. It was that nice of a day; warm, just a few swells and not that busy. Prob the best day we've had so far this year. And everything worked!

That looks like fun. I don't have a boat so I washed my windows today.

Boats are one of those things either your're all in or you can't wait to sell it. Cheers to a good day.

I had a Chrysler Buccaneer 18 ft. sailboat for 30 years. In that time at one time or another, I worked on every single part of that boat. I miss it, and I don't miss it. Lots of fun, and keeps you thinking the few times your using it and something goes wrong.

Usually nothing went wrong, but when you are using it for a huge number of hours things happen, and they did happen.

I was out at my bay house all day headed home at dusk no fun navigating a boat in the dark . The kids stay the whole weekend and party I have a wedding in NJ tomorrow evening so I bailed for a good night's sleep.

Nice boat. As a fellow boat owner I like the phrase you stated "everything worked." You are correct boats are expensive to maintain. My Lund Tyee Gran Sport costs me a small fortune some years just to keep fishing. But you can't get out of the game or it costs too much to get back in.

I like going for boat rides but I love to take the kids fishing.

See. any whales? My Favorite BIL,Rick has a modest 25ish foot long cabin cruiser with a Yamaha 2 stroke that is moored at the Marshfield yacht club. He takes it down the river to the sandbar by the mouth. It's a nice place to wade, maybe get your head wet, sort of place. MYC is gonna hold our class reunion in a week.

looks like fun! We spend time boating when we vacation in Florida. Here in Iowa, not worth having a boat IMO.

BOAT = Bring On Another Thousand...

Just my $0.02

Here is a picture of my son standing in my Lund Tyee wallet sucker. Pictures were taken about 3 weeks ago and that's my mug holding the walleye. Boats are a blast.

Great looking set up @joekingcorvette

That’s an interesting transducer on the transom. What do you use?

My best days are when I'm in my boat. Wife likes it too!

I knew I'd jinx myself!

Departing from the pit on the last day of the season..... Ahhhh boats

I haven't had a boat since 2003 but over maintaining a boat is a must . Time on the water is too valuable to waste.

Agree, and sometimes even that isn't enough!
