I fully realize how many lifestyles are out there that I really have no knowledge of. Trekkies, knitters, dog breeders, orchid gardeners, marathoners, mushroom hunters, swingers, and boaters--to name a few.
My family took a baby step towards understanding the whole boating thing yesterday. It's more accessible (and more desirable) than delving into some of the other lives I mentioned. Greg's parents were here for a long weekend and to celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary, so he decided that we'd rent a pontoon boat for a half day as a treat.
We've had abnormal amounts of rain in our area lately and some serious flooding (shades of your early summer, Dan!) and though our town wasn't affected, all of the nearby streams and lakes are high. As a result, despite Greg's desire to "let 'er rip" once we got out of the boat channel into Lake Kegonsa, he was restrained by a "no wake" rule--and the presence of the county sheriff, who passed us by twice.
Alas, despite our purchase of fishing licenses and a new fishing rod, no nibbles were to be found. Nonetheless, we all very much enjoyed the day. We'll definitely do it again with other visitors (you can guess who you are!). And hopefully, Greg will be able to indulge his desire for SPEED, RECKLESS AMOUNTS OF SPEED, AS MUCH SPEED AS YOU CAN GET FROM A PONTOON BOAT- FOR GOD'S SAKE.
