long weekend

Aside from the local pig-calling contest, there ain't much goin on in the swamp this here weekend.

So............we shall attempt to avoid at all costs any "organized" events which have the "consumer" in mind, or those "for the kids, eh".

A new drug store is opening, so we might take in the condom display, or maybe get a free paper hat.

Other than thet.........gonna read.........fish.........play a bit a music with some folks.............folk music:roll:

They might have a parade........................:idea:8O:angry3:

Hope y'all injoy yers.

N'Ugg.:canada:

Friends coming down for a visit...yes down...if you thought I was up north...

Ongoing reno work...main floor bathroom and foyer...

A day at the beach...thinking of Sandbanks or Wasaga...

Wash the dog...after last week's crocodile impression in the river...(see attachment, thx Unf!)

And I have a song idea that's been bouncing around in my head all week I'd like to lay down tracks for.

[DurkaDurka]

Pontoon boats can be fun, they are rather slow but they are nice for cruising around on.

Are you going to be the Skipper?

Doc Here's one sample - they have double decker ones too... nice and easy riding.... no big chores required and makes for lovely trip with good company. You lucky guy!!!

A few of my family members get a big one and cruise around the Okanagan for a week....they come back rested.... you can tie up and eat at a restaurant... or eat your catch of the day.... it's really a comfortable way to spend some R&R time.

Want to see more of Dublin before moving.
Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Leicester is on display in Dublin castle so will see that probably.

We had planned to take our boat down to Victoria but the weather doesn't look too promising. The boat, a 32 foot Carver, is very good in rough weather but I'd sooner spend a rainy weekend in a hotel. On top of that, the fuel cost to take the boat down and back just about equals the cost of a hotel room. We'll see if the weatherman changes his mind.

Carvers are nice boats. What model year and model?
Twin gas inboards?

We've been looking for a 42-57 foot used Chris Craft that we can refit to our own needs and eventualy live aboard.

 

[Curiosity]

Doc....agreed!

I love speed - but sometimes on water I enjoy taking in the scenery - you can't do anything on a ski-doo except try to breathe and survive .... At least you don't have to worry about the top of your bathingsuit staying where it belongs !! LOL

In-laws..... nobody has figured out the interaction yet of this thrown together group of people....

Hope your pontoon trip is more enjoyable!

It's a 1994 Carver Crusader, with twin shaft drive V-8s. Pass anything but a gas station. With an 11'-10" beam it is a great rough water boat but it does burn gas like it was free. There is another version of this boat with twin 6 cyl. Lehman diesels that will give you 16 knots at 10 gallons per hour but those boats are never on the market for more than a few hours.

If your going to live on a boat i think diesel would be a concern.
Especially with a used older model.
Think smelling diesel fumes always to the point you won't notice the taste of food on some boats after sleeping on them for a few weeks:roll:
Maybe a little extreme in making my point,but true enough in some cases.
