Today was a treat - the whole day on the boat, practicing docking maneuvers and slow speed maneuvering in the marina area. The lake is still closed, but the Park Service gave us permission to run out on the lake... this will likely be the only time we'll have it to ourselves, but it was perfect for training. The Lake Queen scenic cruiser is an amazing boat, and Paul (the other captain doing my check-out) is patient and encouraging. The engines needed to be run up and this was the perfect opportunity. The thrust when you push those three throttle forward is very impressive.
A very good day.
