First trip with the Rinker.

Precarious floating boat launch. Only a few inches to spare between the trailer and the edge.

Lots of large interconnecting lakes.

Navigating the narrows required a spotter on each side of the boat.  They pointed out hazards like Mark Twain on a paddleboat.

We have lots of luck boating Northerns in a small bay at one of the far lakes.

Great success with red and white spoons, but John keeps using his hula-popper and Bry insists his rubber mouse will be the ticket.

Dan and Matt have a competition to decide who gets the third room to himself.  The first one to boat a keeper gets the room.  Matt wins.

Smoke billows from the engine compartment after the power steering goes.  Piloting the rest of the trip is a bit more challenging.

Remember, DO NOT flush your paper!
