Trifecta!

It has been a trifecta of powerboating these past few days. First, Moxie was on Lake George, which is the only body of water she goes on. Then it was Foxie's turn up at Lake Champlain. This morning we took Flash for a sea trial at nearby Putnam Pond.



Once the 1958 Johnson engine got going, it ran pretty well, although Dave had to reset the idle. A few of the rivets have small leaks around the seams, but we now have photos, so Dave can work on that. 



It is a fun little boat that kept us dry despite the spray shooting out from the sides as we rounded corners. It didn't even squat as we got up on a plane...as long as both of us were in the front seats (it is very light, which is an advantage when trailering, launching, and loading it back up). 


Three boats, three days, three different bodies of water. That doesn't even include our kayaks that we had out yesterday in Northwest Bay on Lake George. We saw a family of loons up close, and I even got to watch one swimming underwater in the clear shallows. We are making up for lost time with our recreating!
