Had a great time Thursday brought the boat to the condo about noon unpacked and ran to Backwater Jacks, Friday was another no rain sun came out we sat at coconuts till about 4. Saturday was great we had some friends in from Ohio another day at coconuts the place was packed we made it there by 12 just in time to get a slip we were going to take a ride but all the wind and boat wash from so many boats made it a little to rough. Sunday was a rain day glad I left the boat in the slip we were sitting at Capt. Ron's when a wall of water so thick came through it obscured everything behind it! Sent folks scattering was sort of funny .

Monday was another great day! Was at Backwater Jacks watching the docking festivities those poor dock girls had to really work they saved a couple boats that were parked. There was a awesome blue/silver MTI center console with quad verados I think it was a 42, thing was completely bad ass I use to poo poo those boats but the more I look at them the more I really like them, pretty sure I would consider one for my next boat. I see lots of pluses with those things, roomy, ease of engine maint, plenty fast with quads on it for me or even triples on a 38, wife loves the lounge seats in front.

Friday and Saturday would have been way better with about 15-20 degree warmer temps. Monday finally warmed up enough that I finally jumped in the lake late afternoon after a few hours of chores. Water off our dock was 74 at surface and 72 at your feet. It is warming up nicely this morning. Feels like summer is finally getting here.

Yep agreed but I was pretty happy just that the rain missed us! I jumped in on Monday also with the sun out I think it hit over 80 and with the sun out I was sweating the water uh for sure cooled me off! lol

We stayed down till Thurs afternoon. Dodged some showers on the weekend, but Mon-Weds were near perfect.
