What is everyone planning for Memorial Day Weekend?

@Stefan Fromm thanks for the compliment. I'm hopeful I can make it work. I read some other threads that people were filling their ski locker and I am going to try several things to see what happens. I am hoping the bag is all I need with key placement of human ballast as well.
 
PM me if you guys need any advise, I will try and help the best I can. I have seen it done a time or 2...... ;)
 
We're taking the boat and RV to Daroga state park on the Columbia River north of Wenatchee, WA. It will be our first time on the water this year! We're going to do some wine tasting too at Tildio Winery and Rio Vista Winery.

@jfkraus travel safe coming over the mountains. Hopefully I see you on the river, I would still love to see your engine compartment!
 
I'm planning on putting my yammi in the Chickahominy River. It's going to be my first time boating here in VA. Hoping for a great boating day.

We'll be at Daroga Site 13 Friday evening through Monday morning. Can't say where we'll be at any given time though. I think I just sent you my contact info (still getting used to this forum).
 
Higgins Lake, camping in my tent. The boat is coming along but the high is 71 and the low is 39
 
@jcyamaharider Thanks Julian. Only Q I have is for those who leave their boats in the water overnite, is there any issue leaving the bilge pump on? I will be running the boat all weekend and I do have my new fangled mini jump start pack, just not wanting to do something that leads to me having to use it.

@Englewoodcowboy that looks like an awesome weekend that you have going for you. Hope y'all have fair skys and comfortable temps at night for sleeping.
 
Getting loaded up as well. Not my trailer just borrowing it. I have one more atv then I usually do and it put me over my limit.

Rain may kill our weekend
 
Quite the load of ATV's there @jcyamaharider !

I love the old Banshee. Those things were awesome. I had an '89 Warrior but always dreamed of a Banshee.

Thanks! I think the only thing stock on the trailers and in the back of the truck is the kids atvs. The banshee has .030 over weisco pistons, boost bottle, adjustable timing plate, full fmf exhaust, uni filter, pro taper bars, dg bumper, +6 a-arms, durable blue rear axle, full works suspension, and nerfs. Fun and fast ride.
 
The boat is sitting at home hooked up my truck, ready to rock and roll tonight. Hopefully I can sneak out of work a little early today. We hope to be on the water Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We will be anchored out next to the local concert venue listening to Zac Brown Band tonight.

I am looking forward to a great weekend! Be safe everyone!

I'm of the same mindset... Cutting out a bit early, getting to the ramp before everyone else does.
 
My plans for Memorial Day...
