Great Boating Day, Saturday 9-15-2012

[Ratickle]

Well, getting close to the end of the boating season, and I couldn't make it to the Solomons race this weekend, so had to help out, (and goof off) with other stuff for the day....

Started by getting up early and heading out to the Anchorage Marina in Holland to assist our member FasterDad taking his 38 Scarab Excel from Holland to Muskegon for winter storage.....

Heading to the gas dock, (over $5 per gallon for the 90 octane!) Dang it's calm, gonna be a boring ride I guess....

Nice Monte Carlo 65 that came to the Anchorage recently.

Well, so we get there to hand the boat off, and because the weather is so good, our member Hotrod2 has decided to take his Cary 50 to Grand Haven for lunch. Sounds good to me, Terri can meet us there instead of going by car from Muskegon back to Hollond, we can go partway by boat! Awesome!!!!
