Just finished spending 4 days/nights at anchor on my 278 with my 3 kids and wife at Dale Hollow! It was a great time, and thankfully the weather was decent for us. The water is clean and clear and it is a place that we will consider going to again in the future.
Wow 4 nights at anchor with 3 kids on a 278 and you had a great time....you are an inspiration my friend!! I've been searching for every little bit of storage on our 268 and thats just to make room for a baby, let alone 3 kids/2adults!! Would love to see pics from that trip
I will get some on here. I even brought the dinghy with us. None of us were terribly cramped. I wish I had taken pictures of how much food was packed on our boat. We were packed to the brim with food. As for clothes, underwear were important but other than that we had swimming suits on mostly. It took a lot of careful planning for our storage, but we made it work and actually over-packed on water and food. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the intense heat and lack of a breeze. That just made us spend the majority of our awake time IN the water.
My youngest is 16 months old now. Last year, our trips didn't include the older kids because of all the baby stuff. This year, we have simplified and the baby doesn't need quite as much. At the beginning of this year, we bought a place on Catawba Island on Lake Erie because we were thinking that we would either have to do that or upsize our boat. We loved our boat we so much that we decided a nice place on a lake with a dock would make it possible. Being at anchor for that long may only happen once a year, but we are going to spend a full week at Torch. The key there is that we will have a slip and the kids can get off the boat and explore also.
