It's a GO!!

Last night we hooked Cool Change up to the truck and headed down our long steep driveway. We were headed to the lake for a trial run of the boat. Mark has worked on her and got the engine running but we haven't yet splashed her in the water and really tested all of the mechanics. We drove the 10 minutes that it takes to get to Foys Lake on the other side of our mountain where we live. Foys is a smaller lake but it does have a public dock and boat ramp. The lake itself goes anywhere from 7ft- 112ft deep. I was surprised at the depth. It is a popular lake with the locals during the week because it is so close and can be visited after work without huge plans and time driving back and forth like most lakes. So we got her in the water, turned her over and took her out to make a wake. And make a wake we did! She runs so well! I am so proud of all of Mark's efforts. They have once again paid off huge. It was a beautiful night on the lake and what a wonderful feeling to have such success. We also tested the downriggers and those were working well also. Yippee!


Friday night we will be pulling out of our driveway again with Cool Change in tow...but this time our destination will be the Pacific Ocean!
