We took the pontoon out for its maiden voyage of the season. We had a couple days of delay because the battery needed to be recharged, but everything checked out on Saturday. We made arrangements to meet up with my sister Wendy and most of her kids/grandkids. John had his dad's speed boat.
We arrived early thinking that Dad and Kevin could do a little fishing first. After waiting in line to use the ramp, we got everything situated, backed the pontoon off the trailer. Put the truck and trailer up in the lot and backed away from the dock. Then there was a sad moment of realizing that there was something not quite right because we could no longer change gears without killing the motor.

| Think that because Same is so tall he got the deep end of the deal. |

| John looks on after the pontoon was safely loaded on the trailer. |

| Ask yourself this, is this the right way to steer the pontoon and red dragon? |
I will admit that this was an interesting couple of hours, and the guys did get their fishing lines in the lake for a brief time, but there were no fish biting. (Most of the minnows said, "Thanks for releasing us bak into the lake. Bye!")
After we got everything organized, we did go out on the water in the speed boat. Not many words, just photos. The one shot I got of my sister was mostly of leg. I will capture her the next time. Question for relatives: Doesn't this photo of Brianna look a lot like Amanda?

What is the name of the lake? My memory slips me to recall any lakes besides Covell Lake. DKA
