After 6 weeks of solid weekend work, she finally got wet this weekend!
In typical rainy Melbourne fashion, the whole darn boat got wet! :evil:

The g/f and I got our boat out a couple weeks ago. Having it out in April was the earliest we have had it out before. Beautiful evening in the 60's. The ride back to the launch was a bit chillier once the sun went down. I can not wait for the warm weather to show up for good.

Finally had some nice friday night weather this past week. The g/f and I took a river cruise through downtown Milwaukee. We got to stop at a couple bars and almost had the river to our selves most of the night.

The river cruise looks like fun. Is it all no wake?

The whole river system in downtown is slow no wake until you exit onto Lake Michigan. The loop we do is about 7 miles long from the port through downtown. There are a lot of restaurants/bars along the whole way. The city also has some public parking docks which is nice. It's a nice change compared to the normal inland lakes and it is perfect night boat trip.

I've been slacking. Here is a quick collage of a couple recent trips out. My 6 year old daughter got to ride a tube for the first time. That was a pretty fun, getting to experience memories from my childhood as a dad. Going to be braving Memeorial day weekend this weekend. Wish me luck. :?

We love Milwaukee! Thinking maybe next year, we'll head back up to lake Michigan and do that trip again with our boat!

That sounds like a fun ride. Where do you launch from? Maybe we'll do that sometime soon since it's not that far of a drive.

Today was a washout! At least the cooler is full and will be really iced down for tomorrow!

We launched at south shore park which is right next to the south shore yacht club. $12.50 launch fee. Then it is about a 15 minute ride to the river from there, that is including the ride through the marina that is slow no wake.
