We were able to do some maneuvering in the marina yesterday with the Lake Queen - what a great boat! It will rotate tightly without touching the wheel with differential throttle control alone. I'm impressed.
There is a problem after the tough winter with the fuel dock, so it will be Monday before we can fully fuel the boat for practical testing. I'm looking forward to running tests on fuel usage and performance before we get rolling for the season.
The marina still isn't open for the season, since the lake is still iced in... but, the ice is disappearing fast. Slip renters are understandably anxious about getting their boats in. The marina staff feels the same way; more staff are arriving daily. We are taking reservations for scenic cruise trips and fishing guide trips. There is a lot to get done; everyone that we've met here is friendly and helpful, and we're all working together to get the marina up for the season... we just need some cooperation from Mother Nature.
