Boat or No Boat

To buy a new boat or to just forget it. This is a problem which is confronting some of our members this year. Joey who's boat was totaled by a jet ski, made the decision to purchase a new boat.

Jody who's boat was destroyed by fire is contemplating the same decision. It always isn't easy. When you start thinking about all the money involved, you have to really wonder is it worth it.

You can ask yourself that a hundred times, but one thing I do know, is that when its early in the morning, and the rest of the camp is sleeping, and you get into your boat and fire that motor up, and cast those lines, and settle into the seat, ease away from the dock, get the boat into position and push the throttle up, there is no sensation like it. The boat comes to life, the front end lifts out of the water, (always gives you a little scare) and settles down on the water and skims across the glass like lake with the wind in your ears, it reminds you of a lot of things. Some as simple as "I made it, I finally have a boat," It lets you be a little bit of an adventurer, with the ability to go places where you feel know one else has ever been. The days when its just yourself and your wife enjoying an afternoon.

And most of all it lets you be one with the outdoors, if only for a fleeting minute. You know soon that you will be fishing with a bunch of guys, or pulling a tube, or water skiing, but you NEVER no NEVER forget that small slice of time when its just you and your boat , alone and one with the lake........
