Hi Everybody
 

New member and Baja owner as of last spring. Finally quit "Dicking around" as my wife put it and bought a 29 outlaw. Really love the boat, especially in rough water. I pretty much boat the Mississippi except for a few runs to loto each year. Any other southeast Iowa people? Not exactly offshore but give me a little time....

Welcome to the board DTH!

Welcome, glad to have you onboard.

Tell me a little about boating on the Mississippi.

I do some ICW trips and think it is probably close to running a river. Nice current to deal with, floating debri, barges and shallow water.

Thanks Mark

A definite YES on the current, debris, barges etc. Around here we have two kinds of boaters, lake people(500 boats on a pond) and river rats. The Mississippi is as good as it gets around here as far as places to go and things to do, it just has to be respected. BTW saw the pics of your boat Dock, beautiful, someday....

Thanks DTH

This is one the wife shot last Saturday on the way to the lake. Funny thing, I cannot seem to pass this convenience store?

It is pretty bad when they know you by name and ask where you were last Saturday when you didn't stop to empty their tanks!

Congrats DTH and welcome to the board!!

Mark, that pic nicely puts things in perspective...If you loiter too long, I'll bet a crowd gathers. :D :D
