Maiden Voyage

You might ask yourself when seeing this picture... Why does it look like Mikelle is Hunched over?.. well let me tell you a little story about this first boat ride to see if everything worked. We get to the lake and put the boat in. No easy task with kids in tow and in a small boat none the less. we finally get aboard and head out. Only to realize that the motor wont really start, no worries we have a little trolling motor. We decide we aren't going to go very far from the docks in this case. We start out on our adventure and i turn around and look to see that water is coming in from a hole in the back of the boat! oh no! So this hole happens to be about the size of a finger. So I spent our whole ride bent over with my finger covering the hole. What we hoped would be a quick return to the dock turned out to be more of the challenge. The wind was blowing us the wrong direction and our motor kept shorting out. This will for sure be a memory we won't be forgetting.
