Shakin' 'em down...
Today was a maintenance day for me; training a new captain we have on staff. And messing with a boat that hasn't been operated since having some service work done... always a question mark, finding out if what was done was done right. Well, it is different.
We wound up having to bleed fuel lines... twice. Yep, different. And, a lot of work. We took the boat out and shook it down. A few more supplies, some new placards, and she should be ready to go.
My body tells me that I can't contort myself like I used to. I have joked that "I am getting too old for this stuff." May not be a joke anymore.
Got some helm time for the new captain (new to us, but he has plenty of boat experience), and operating time on the boat.
Just wish I had a hot tub to work out the kinks. ;-)

There is a blog I read that has a inflatable hot tub that they carry in there converted bus.
Just a thought.

Yeah, I looked at one of those at a sports show a few years ago. Not particularly expensive, but I just couldn't see rolling into an RV park and setting up one of those... not to mention giving up the storage space in the RV. Our Winnebago is a lot smaller than a converted bus.
I left my inflatable paddleboard home, due to space considerations. ;-) Well, that and the fact the water here is so darn cold.
