I was wondering what the ratio between using this forum and using our boats .
For me I usually have a look on this forum most days ,while the boat gets an outing for a weekend , about every three weeks between October and May, with a stint of about a week in the water between Christmas and New Year.

There is something wrong if my boat doesn't get out almost every weekend between May and September. I usually check this site every day unless I'm on the lake.

I check the site most days - work days at least :wink: My baby has been getting run every weekend but I am missing out on work week evening runs which often seem to be the best :x
I don't like leaving it in the water during the week when I'm not here and the splash / pullout / wash cycle is a pain after a long day even if it is from my own yard (blasphamy to those that trailer to the shore I know) I'm such a spoiled b!t$h.
Dock situation is in the process of being corrected so that should soon change . . I hope. :roll:

We should share a boat - I use mine most weekends between May and October. I check the forum most weekdays March - November.

I check here every morning and just after lunch to see whats floating around. Sometimes I check in here in the evening if there is nothing going on at home. Am I addicted? It takes me away from my duties for a few minutes and gives me a bit of a breather. I have been known to check the site at 2:30 in the morning when I can't sleep though. :roll:

+1 - I also try to squeeze a mid-week run in.

I think if I could find a place to keep it in the water it would be used almost everyday. I notice my wife paying more attention to getting the trailer stuff ready :shock:

I work from home at least 3 days a week so I check it pretty often. I try to get my boat out at least once a week. Sometimes we get lucky and run it 2 or 3 days, but if we can get 3-4 hours on a Sunday afternoon, I'm happy. The admiral and I have declared Sundays boat days, so we go unless weather or something else stops us.
