Back On The Lake!!!

It was a beautiful day...that translates into "it's a lake day!" After a busy morning/afternoon, we made our way to the lake to check things out! We have never made it out on the lake in April, but today we did! We had lots of fun; followed by a little bit of an adventure. It seems the first time out each season brings along a new opportunity to learn about what can go wrong. In prior seasons we have had planing issues, generator issues, and then today we had engine issues! We really aren't sure how we fixed it, but at one point we had no engine power! That's right, there are two...neither of them made a sound. After doing our best to figure things out...the manual was retrieved from the cabin and did not give us much to work with...we tried calling the marina. They told us they were racking their brains, but they just didn't have anything big enough to tow us in. So, we tried one last time and managed to get the port engine going. Once we were in route, we actually got the other one going too. Prior to momentarily losing our engines (for 45min), we had a nice ride and Blakely got to get her toes wet! As you can see from the picture of her "driving" the boat...she was not phased by the lack of engine power! Once we made it safely to the marina, she was thrilled to find the ducks were still there waiting to be fed more goldfish! All in all, it was a great day...another lesson learned!!!
