Was windy but I had to work anyway. One more blast and I'm done.

Maybe next winter if I have a diesel, I am liking to head to FL and store/use it there. Jet down every 3-4 wks for a mission.

My computer won't play those files. Don't know why. I was out Sat and today but I only got as far as Racine. Saturday was great, today was a bit cooler and rougher.

Looking for one more weekend and then its time to put it away.

Today we did our 3rd shake down run of the season...we had issues with the ignition on the Port motor, not to mention the drive and exhaust delays that ate up most of the summer.
I'm happy to report that she ran absolutely flawless.
And yes those occasional 8's kept your attention
I hope that this fall continues to be warm and dry for an extended summer.

Great news!!! Lets hope for an early summer.

We brought the boat home today. It's the first time I put the boat on the trailer since last October. I love my Hydro-Hoist.

Sat was awesome in Milw. Small craft warnings but with the west wind you could pick how much air one wanted to grab by venturing further offshore.

My last trip All went well for 2005 and didn't break anything. Except my cooler AGAIN >>WTF?
