FIRST FLOAT OF THE YEAR


Oh, how good it felt to get the boat out on the water. The snow and ice on the boat ramp made it a bit of a challenge to get there, however, a fresh coat of 303 on the bottom made her glide right to the water.
A few strokes and the rust was beginning to wear off. Man if felt great. 
 Water is really low making a few of the rapids challenging. Although there is no speed to them, the technical moves keep you on the move, especially after a winter of rest and being rusty.
Damn, Ms. Floatfisher always gets the first fish! Oh well, the price one pays to fish all the time.
