Test Drive

Here is the story about how we found our new boat: Jeremy has been searching the Internet for a long time for a boat that we could buy. One day he was on Craigslist and came across this boat that he has been looking at in town. It was at a storage unit that we drive by quite often. He called right away and we went to look at it. The boat was in pretty good condition and we knew it would be a great starter boat for our family. It is a 1993 Four Winns!

We finally got the boat in the water this June. We invited Shellee, Kaleo and Leila to go for a ride. Thank goodness for Kaleo. He saved us more than one time. You really have to get a feel for docking, loading and unloading. Of course, I know nothing about doing this so I was no help.


We drove around Lake Sammamish, ate some Costco pizza and found a nice place in the no wake zone for Maggie to take a dip. She was dying to get out into the water. She jumped in quite a few times. And had lots of fun.

Good thing we took it for a drive. We found that it wasn't completely fixed. There was a glitch that needed to be fixed before we could take it out again. We took it to the Mechanic and the next week it was ready for another ride!

Boyd liked laying on the floor. Or did he? I think he was just stuck!

Maggie loved her dip into the lake. She is such a water baby!
