Boating Weekend

FRIDAY. 
 
I spent all day loading boat with stuff. Washed new towels.

Hubby came home and after we were all loaded, traveled down to the park. Put boat in water at Farragut Park with assistance from Rick, Austin & Earl. Hubby and I stayed overnight on the boat while at the dock there

Woke up at 3AM thinking it was dawn. Hubby walked Bud. Went back to sleep.

SATURDAY.
I went home to pack more things at 7AM. Forgot hubby's shirts. Whoops. Stopped at Cydco for necessities.

Kids came at 10:00 with lattes & boarded boat for fun.They brought Boat Warming gifts. Plates, bowls & cups in blue for me. Pirate hat & eye patch & pirate flag for hubby!

Cruised to Garfield Bay, Hope. Checked out Marinas for moorage. Then ate lunch at Hope Floating restaurant.

Swam in special swim area that was recommended to us. Matt was eager to get floatables to pull behind boat. Cruised into Sandpoint & Dover. They were having a wake at Dover. Odd.

M&K decided they wanted to stay overnight so they could have more fun. Boating Addicts!

Matt jumped off the back of the boat while it was going full speed several times.

Moored for the night at Bottle Bay. The owner said that they had never moored anybody overnight and did not know what to charge. They had washer/dryer on land that we used to clean towels. No soap, however. Found showers around the side later...Had excellent dinner at the Restaurant. Walked dogs up steep hills to potty them. Some idiot in the middle of the night went flying by on boat & rocked our boat. Huge waves.


SUNDAY.
Woke up early. Waited around Bottle Bay for Rental store to open. We finally left at 9AM to go back to Hope Floating Restaurant for Brunch. Re-fueled there & walked dogs again. Yummy brunch! Then cruised back to Farragut to meet up with Earl & Family with their boat and Rick & Family with their boat. Matt got to get pulled on float behind Earl's power boat; also first time Waterskiing for Matt. He did GREAT!

Took kids to drop them off at 3:00PM. Loading at Farragut Park boat dock was INSANE! Too many Dumb & drunk people!

We boated around to Bayview & moored boat at McDonalds temporarily.

Walked dogs to boat dock at Farragut to pick up FMF. Then drove back to Bayview to pack our stuff off boat. Then drove hubby back to Farragut boat dock to pick up dually & trailer. Stupid people still loading boats. Idiots.

Drove home exhausted. Unpacked & cleaned things.

MONDAY.
I washed melamine plates. Washed laundry. Picked up dog poo. Started packing stuff to put on boat.
