Here is the Sweet Baboom tied up a the dock. Notice the
new tube sitting on the front deck! The following pictures show Leslie
and the kids going for a joy ride while I watch helplessly from the water.
(I was floating in the tube and trying to keep the camera out of the water.)
Here's the skipper back from her 3 hour cruise! The kids found
the boat to be a great diving platform. And Ben learned that if you
drop your face mask in 100 feet of water, it's unlikely that we'll get
it back!
Everyone had fun being pulled in the tube. We all gave it a try,
but Ben and Samantha enjoyed it the most. Here's Ben going too fast
and then getting hung up outside the wake on a turn. I think the
only times he flipped were when he tried.
Here's me and the kids waving for help. And the next shot is Leslie
and the kids in the water.
We did some fishing. Ben and Samantha were even fishing in a light
rain one morning. Ben caught a small Pike.
Here we are enjoying the kayaks. Ben and Samantha were doing fine
and we let them paddle around the small cove near our cabin. The
whole cove is waist deep or less, so there isn't any other boat traffic
here.
Here we are heading home. This was a rest stop in Massachussets.
No real problems with the truck, boat or trailer during the trip.
Since this was the first time I towed the boat more than a few miles, it
was a relief to complete the trip without any major incidents. I
did learn a few things about proper weight distribution along the way.
