My email got hacked again even though I am running two security programs. I just found out. Of course this happens when I am on the road and don’t find out for three days.I am sorry and a fix is in the works.

God I Love My Boat!
In Uncategorized on 08/04/2012 at 18:02The trip to Paris Landing was great. Good weather and A good seafood buffet at the park lodge. Got to eat some frog legs for the first time in years, yummy. Got to Paris landing for the first day. On the second day we went to Leatherwood which is about 23 miles from Pebble Isle. We anchored for the night and Sam cooked some good meatloaf on the grill.
I have to put big kudos out to my sister Linda for giving me a new camera for my birthday. Took a ton of pictures and here are some.

I got tired of people asking me where in Minnesota I was from. I also got some pictures of a boat which was the old mail boat on this part of the river back in the 1930’s. It is a steel hulled diesel or in coast guard terms a “ single oil screw.”
This old tub is over 80 years old and still running on only it’s second engine.
I built a davit to lift my dingy. I used scrape aluminum and some stuff from the hardware store. Needs a few adjustments. I am adding stays and some scrape stainless railing to beef it up. I am going to use a military surplus cargo net like a wrap around to hold it like a hotdog in a bun. I am just trying to find on that is not green.
I am headed up to Paris Landing this weekend. The trip is about thirty miles and I intend to explore some anchorages along the way. Never know when You might want to get out for just a night. I have to finally put my MS registration on the side of the boat. I have a checklist of preparations to finally give this thing a good road test with the new tranny and prop.
Last is a bit of wildlife. Hard to get close enough to these birds to get a picture. People down here call them little suzies. They are like a duck but have a bill more like a chicken. The only eat fish.
They dive to get them.
Here are some recent shots of me – if you care- after all blogs are a bit narcissistic.
Here I am working on my davit:
Nice spring day:
Well it’s back to work at the office. Working and saving for that Honda generator. Got a boat to wash in the A.M. and get ready to take off. Will report on the trip and hopefully I will not be coming back courtesy of Boats US.
