After talking with the boatyard owner we decided to come up the river before the Army Corps started some long overdue dredging. We spent +5 weeks on the boat this summer. Getting motivated to go out for the weekend this fall felt more like an obligation than a fun diversion. We still have the skiff if we need a water fix. Now that the boat is put to bed and the floats are hauled at thew Y.C. it's time to move on to other projects.
