June 23, 2012 Here is another video of the boat running on Carlyle Lake. There is a little bit at the end of me doing some tubing. I did get up on water skis. It took 4 tries but I finally made it.
June 3, 2012 Much Much better day to be out on the lake. The winds were about 5 mph and the lake was calm. We spent about 4 hours out there today and even had to get more gas. Sally has an app on her phone that told us that we went about 47 miles around the lake. From Boulder to Keysport to Carlyle. We checked out the 2 silos and went looking for the lost island. It was a very fun day!!
June 2, 2012 OGRT is now splashed. There is a short video of the experience. The winds were 10-15 with gusts up to 20 and the water was very choppy so we didn't stay out for very long. Our first attempt at trying to splash the boat ended in failure. There was a hole in the back of the deck that used to have a mechanism attached to it and I decided not to reinstall it. Well water came rushing in and needless to say the bilge pump I installed works just fine. So after a trip to Walmart for a plug we were able to get the boat out on the water.
