One picture of your last outing.

Great shot, where is this?

High Island, right behind Brant Beach off Long Beach Island. (39.62179674283784, -74.20584233158809)

We're new to boating in the area, but that was a great spot to anchor and relax with the dog. Most of that water is 2-3', so you can walk around, take the dog to the beach, etc.
 
Cool. Wish everyone when they post cool pics would indicated the lake/area. I keep making my bucket list :)
 
I didn't get a single pic of our time out on the lake. Hell I didn't even know where my phone was until the end of the day getting the boat out.

This is the aftermath, though. We got home and she went straight to bed with this crazy hair. Poor baby. ?

Then the clean up comes the next morning. The worst part of a full day out on the water.

what a cool spot...
dig that sportsman boat next to you with the side ladder
Yeah I love boating down here, so many cool boats and set ups. Some of the houses on the intercoastal are absolutely insane, floating third story see-through pools and such. The sand bar gets super clear when the tide is right, the kids love snorkeling. Just off the coast we have mooring buoys up and down that sit over the top of various reefs and ship wrecks that you can attach to. And we’re still in range for the keys. That said, the one downside is fewer spots for water sports. The intercoastal really doesn’t open up with big enough bays until you go north an hour or so and even then the boat traffic can make it dicey, the ocean is usually too rough for any watersports, etc. all of our good freshwater spots are really more central Florida, I love crooked Lake, but it’s a 2&1/2 hour drive. Anyone live in an area they have the best of both worlds?
 
Morse Resevoir, was 95 yesterday in Indiana and it felt every bit of it....lol
DO you prefer Morse over Geist? I am always sucking up a ton of weeds on Geist, especially now that the water is lower. Prefer Monroe but don't always want to make the drive down, live just south of Zionsville.
 
That cooler is screaming for a piece of custom seadek on top. Looks great.
That’s a great idea, some guest are hesitant to walk over it when it’s meant for that. It would also look a lot better. I’m going to measure and order one as soon as I get home!

Yes 100%. Morse has a much bigger parking lot, and the docks are night and day better than Geist. Plus the water is a bit cleaner, IMO. Last time I was on Geist the water had a stinch to it. Definitely prefer Monroe or Raccoon over both of them. But like you said sometimes the drive is not convenient down to Bloomington
 
Just completed our second and last camping weekend of the season. Had a great time although I towed a lot more kids on tubes than I expected to glad my son was around to share the boating related workload. Not pictured are the five rvs we collectively brought or rented and had delivered or the mountains of other camping gear and scooters, not to mention food and drinks.
