Madian Voyage
 

No sun or warm weather for weeks now. I just couldn't take it anymore!!! So today, I towed the V20 C.C. down to the launch for her Madian Voyage this year. I had went through the boat and motor three weeks ago but as luck has it, I had trouble getting the motor started and the steering was frozen. Spent two hours working on her at the launch and then got under way. Although it was raining and cold it was still nice getting out. Weather reports are we will have storms for the next week......UGGGGGG!!!!

It was only 98 degrees at 2pm here.
Yeah today was not a day to fool with the boat!
Oh and more to come the rest of the week.

See if this works.
At least the humidity was below %90.
Today is Monday, May 23, 2011. The time is 6:43:50 PM.

Well, somewhat readable.

We only made 96 today in the shade.

Nice job on the maiden vogage......who needs sun and warm weather to boat? Get some more pics up there....boat looks good as far as I can tell from that foggy picture. Did you get the rest of those funky stripes off?:nice:

Looks like perfect boating weather to me...no wind...no lightning...PERFECT!!...

Congrats on getting her belly wet 1st time this year!!...:nice:...SKAROO the weather!!...:party:

Strpes
 

RWilson,
LOL. Yea I finally got rid of those stripes. White to the rub rail and the rest of the hull is black. Still contemplating white bootstraps or white bottom...For now, it’s time to get some Stripers and Fluke in the boat...

Congrats!

I don't feel we can complain about the lousy weather that's been up here. We have not had any tornado or floods...

No doubt....I just said to my wife this morning while watching the news from Joplin, MO and said "say what you want about NJ but chances are slim to none we ever have to deal with that ****"

Funny you say that, Rob...I told my lil wifey the same thing last nite about the Upstate of SC...better be careful...don't wanna JINX it...

Terrible news from Joplin...hospital employees pulled out of windows as they look for shelter...nightmare situations all around that area...

Yeah careful there....hear in coastal VA we never get that kind of weather.....till this year. Little over a month ago we had a tornado demolish our middle school and a whole swath of homes....3 dead. This was about 5 miles north of me so I was really lucky...had friends who werent, but it was just damaged homes for them thank goodness!


Been a strange spring here so far.....went out Sunday. As soon as we pulled up to the beach....clouds. It was actually chilly.....soon as I pulled back in the driveway....nothing but sun:head:
