I already gave up on this weekend....

I'm afraid it might be a bust... Going to try to sneak out locally this week to burn off some fuel and get her ready to sleep for the winter :(

(or go to a new home :whistle: )

Yea, weather looks like chit this weekend...

We have a boat reserved for Buckeye Lake Friday. I heard 70's and nice??
Jones'n for a pizza at the Copper Penny.

With the current water levels I hope it's a pontoon.

As for Erie I'm not giving up yet, it's got to change, it's way to nice right now to turn to chit.

I think it's gonna be great here on Friday! If for some reason we don't go north I'll meet you for a beer if you are at the penny :drink:

Perfect.
 

My brother has a a little 16' O/B I am borrowing just to get my Buckeye fix. We go there every time we're in Ohio visiting. Summer or winter. The locals think I'm a loon.
I used to have big fun taking my old Sonic back that canal and docking in front of the bar.
Always tell the locals that they don't know how lucky they are having that lake so close. Yeah it's small and the water is nasty but it has such character and diverse areas. One of my other favorites is the Port. I posted pictures from the lilly pad lined canal leading to it and had people guess where it was. No one guessed Ohio ;)
Another fun one by boat is Beachcombers. I think I've only found it by boat twice. Last time in my STV. We had to ask a local who was working in her yard where the place was :lolhit: Tiny canal though.

We just took the car from my 91 yr old parents and may do a day trip to the big lake w/them to get them out of the house before they kill each other. If the weather is decent we may drive up and jump a ferry to Kelly's. My old mans company designed and laid the first power cable on the lake bottom to give the island electricity. They have a small plaque noting that on the SW corner of the island that the old man would get off seeing again.

I grew up on this lake! Love it!

My dad had a few 280ES Baja's and a red 30 Velocity back in the 80's through the 90's. He got old and now rocks a 330SS formula :lolhit:

I'm sure our paths have crossed at some point. Which STV is yours? I remember watching Soup's STV run out there when I was little. Remember "This Side Up"?

I used to buy parts off a guy at a dealership that was from there. This would be mid '80's.
I remember telling him what I thought I knew of the 3 or 4 bars on the water out there. He corrected me and educated me to the 13 bars that were accessible by boat out there. I of course went home and told by best bud of this finding. We went out to disprove this myth.
We made it to to three of them and called the myth factual.

Nice evening at the Island House :drink:
