I was just advised of my launch date. May 9 will be the high anxiety day for me. Launch and 20 mile cruise to marina. At least I don't have to deal with those run-dry impellers anymore. Water level in our marina is down about 18". May have been a low water day due to windy conditions, but makes sense when winter moisture levels are considered. Why do I get so freaked out on launch day? Maintenance done right, stored in warm storage during winter, low hours on engines.....just don't like surprises! 8-) er

Hardcore Michigan April boating. Now that May is here things should get better.

Cooler got launched on Thursday, cruised across the bay on Friday. All that anxiety I suffered was unnecessary. She started right up, ran great, and cruised the 20 mile trip to marina like a total champ! Whew! Glad that is behind me. Now, get her set up for the summer and start having funnn! 8-) er
