towards the end of summer, we also got a boat! and i can't blame eric this time, i was all in. based on eric's fond memories of a summer racing in a boat with his dad, never mind his penance for motion sickness, we got the boat! i was nervous considering it's a huge purchase with no refund! but it is living up to the hype, we love it (and as long as he's driving, eric is aok). being on the water on a beautiful, lazy summer day, best way to enjoy the great outdoors: swimming, fishing, tubing and water skiing! we hope to explore more next summer, different harbor towns and eventually go crabbing, clamming and oyster raking.
there are no propellers for safety, perfect with the kids (laurel's complaint, it has no bathroom, other than a portable). it's a fun, not luxury-gas-guzzling boat. fits in the garage for no docking fees. and it's small enough to dock on a small, uninhabited patch of beach and just relax....ahhhhh.
