Robbie's new toy

Late this summer, one of my co-workers mentioned that she was selling her Boston Whaler. She said it had been in storage for a few years and that it had never been in salt water! Robbie has been wanting a boat since we had to sell his 17yrs ago to build the house. So I jumped at the opportunity and told him about it. The price was right and the boat is a gem! It small so I can haul it behind my vehicle and take it with us camping. Plus easy enough to launch when we want. The intent is it gives Robbie and the girls something to do the weekends I work.


This is what happens when you don't pay attention and dad decides to go fast!
So we were able to go for our first official boat ride on Sunday the 13th and actually had a great day for it. Had a little picnic on the boat, went over to Bristol for a while and around Sheepscott River. Hauled it up and came home for a while, decided it was too nice a day and Robbie has been working 6am-10pm almost every night for 2 weeks and deserved to go back out. So we launched it in the Harbor and went around there, and thru the bridge and Southport. Hopefully the weather will haul and we'll be able to use in when we go camping Columbus Day weekend!! Unfortunately Robbie is in Rhode Island for at least the next 2 weeks and coming home late on Saturday and leaving Tuesdays - so doesn't look like it'll be used until then.

Saw this boat and immediately fell in love with the name!!!!
