Default Anyone else out there sharing my misery?

I am miserable. I haven't been out on my V yet this season. My 2 boys and 1 daughter have been playing baseball and softball tournaments every weekend, usually in different towns. So, wife goes one place, I go another, and sometimes we have to recruit another parent to take one of the kids if all 3 have tournaments in different places. Last tournament is this weekend. Hallelujah! Anyone else have their V sitting high and dry all season like mine?

Fortunately, mine is ready to go (I hope!). It's all cleaned up, waxed, battery charged up, ran the motor on the muffs, oil and gear lube is fresh, etc. I'll probably take it out and have something go bad.

Nipper don't say that!! Everything will go fine!

I've had mine out plenty on the lake but only a couple times in the salt. I was planning for more salt time this year but it is not working out that way. For example my next salt trip I had planned for 7/24 - 7/27 but my wife's family is doing their annual lake Wylie vacation trip that weekend so I'm hosed. Yes, I will still be in the water but not the salty kind like I want to be in!

Its frustrating but at least I'm on the water.

It must be something about this year. I didnt get the V in the water till 4th of July. I did however get out everyday of the 3 day weekend and 1 time last weekend, so thats a total of 4 trips so far. This time last year I probably had 15.

I've been out a total of six times, 2x on the v, 4x on the tin boat. Nipper, I share your frustration....baseball, communions, graduations, and this weekend we've got a baby christening. Our social calender is easing up so I'll need to make up for lost time. In my forner life I would have been out 30x by now......ugh.

Just twice for me too. Gas is just too expensive when you're trying to fix up a house in preperation for the baby coming. It's getting tight these days.
