I boated UL this evening! We (father and I) launched from Lindon and stayed pretty close to the harbor -- mostly because we were testing a boat we've been fixing up during the winter.
The primary objective was to test the restored vessel and run it through its paces.
The testing revealed a few more items to add to the repair list (shifting and throttle cables need adjusting) but we were also very pleased with the progress.... particularly the solid engine performance and lack of any sign of leaks.
We completed the major tests and had about an hour of daylight to slow-troll some jigs.
Nothing made it to the boat but we both had something large on for several reels (I'd guess cats).
We're hoping for a DC trip Saturday but not planning on it given the current forecast.
