Everyone watch out!

As I have mentioned and more so last summer when I was blogging more, my family has a houseboat and they are kind enough to let us be apart of it.

It used to be a rental so it is long and over the years we have done cosmetics to it and made it into a nice boat. However, on days like today when we are going to take it out (happens once a summer) the key word is LONG.

The boat dock that where we have the boat is kind of narrow with houseboats on both sides of the cove. So, the wrong wind or the engine dying can send this boat crashing into others. And yes it has happened. Luckily no one has felt the need to call a Rochester personal injury lawyer yet and hopefully today will not be that day.

The issue is usually something with the motor. It always seems that at some inopportune time the engine dies and then you have this big large boat adrift with no way to steer it.

My mom has to get down in one of the cuddies to keep her sanity during the process. I will try to update you on how it went...

Happy 4th!

I hope you had fun!! My sort of boyfriend, I dunno what he is really, bought a boat. Not a big one like that mind you but a boat we can use for skiing and such. I can't wait for days at the lake!
