What floats our boat!

So, we loaded up the pink Larson Sea Lion and went to Rufus Woods in November. The roads were icy but with 4wd and an experienced driver, we got there okay. Steve and Kelley arrived shortly after us. Stayed at the Apple Avenue Motel in Brewster. Finest (and only) motel for many miles.
The boat and motor were pretty much untested. Steve, who gave us the boat, had never tried to float it. The motor was new but checked out by Dick Clark himself at Clearwater Marine.
