First Trip out on the Toon

Our first trip out on our new boat started a little rough. We should have known when we bought it on March 31st and it turned winter for 2 or 3 weeks after that. Then the day before our big trip Scott noticed a screw in his tire and went to have it fixed on the way back it broke down at Edwards. Thanks to Kristy and Heath letting us borrow their truck we still got to go. The kids and I got the boat started and off the trailer just fine. We were headed back to get Scott at the dock and almost ran over the dock because it was so windy. We finally ended up away from the dock. . .I really don't know how. The boat then died and I couldn't get it started back. We started floating off down the lake. With the kids yelling for their dad to help I was beginning to panic. This was the first time we had taken the boat to the water. We didn't even take it out when we bought it because Scott was on call. The only time I have drove a boat was on my grandpa's lap when I was about 10. I finally got it started and I banked the boat so Scott could get on. Needless to say the men unloading their boat at the dock was laughing at us. We didn't catch any fish but we had a lot of fun.
