Got my Public Vessel license this spring, and one of my "retired guy" activities is piloting boat tours of a section of the Erie Canal. This two-mile section has a restored and fully functioning aqueduct we go over. We toured a few thousand second graders the last six weeks (Erie Canal is in the 4th grade curriculum), and now we'll do public tours two days a week through the summer. This class was belting out a solid version of Low Bridge, Everybody Down this morning...

How’s it going? Still giving tours? Done for the year? I know the canal, Champlain anyway, closes 10/16 this year.

Water was like this all day Wednesday, pool 13 on the Mississippi

Still doing a charter every week or two. I don't have any more on my schedule, and I think we're about to wind it down and start winterizing the boats. Really enjoyed it this year. I'm glad I got involved.

Last boat day of 2024 for us up here in Wisconsin.

Looks like you got a great sendoff for the season, but it's a bummer to hear that it's ending.

Is that up near Port Washington?

I think @FSH 210 Sport would be very interested in your experience out on Lake Michigan for some possible future outings

I wish my day on Lake Michigan would have looked that!!!

This was Friday. Final golf outing of the year, proceeds to help with costs of funeral expenses for one of the employees of the sponsor. 15 years old, just never woke up. Sounds like it was peaceful, thankfully. Mom & dad were more than a little overwhelmed, and a good time was had by all

Then, Saturday. I was supposed to be up on that roof, but I'm working on a kidney stone, so I was the helper on the ground. Me and the BIL with a bad hip, and I only threw up once!

I had to cut out early, and rain moved in to bring progress to a halt anyway. The sons of the owner were sealing up problem spots to make things watertight while they wait for emmer effing special order parts, thanks to the color choice of the wife of one of the brothers who was nowhere in sight to help with the project

Dinner later that night, @FSH 210 Sport this was Haase's (and Annie from the Sandbar Bash who chatted you and @WiskyDan up at Hahns), that we couldn't make when you visited. Definitely have to plan ahead to get you there if you can make it back to the area!

Had to do a little incognito mode for her just in case, but this place handled our large group effortlessly, and it was a dynamite meal!

I think yesterday was probably our last outing of the year, and it was a perfect day. Cool morning but warmed up fast, light breeze, almost no traffic, birds everywhere wanting their pictures taken (Show us what you see thread). Water temp is still 74, which is crazy. Rain is here now and the temp is dropping, so it's time to get the camper ready for a few fall trips.

That steak and mushrooms looks mighty tasty!

Had a great day on Lake Winnebago yesterday - upper 70’s, no wind, and sunny. Not a normal day for the end of September - we have trouble getting weather this good in June.

We went down the Fox River and then a nice run down to Sunset on the Water in Taycheedah which is on the southern tip of Lake Winnebago. Made our way back north to a little cove adjacent to Garlic Island and relaxed in the sun for a couple hours. This is most likely our last outing of the season and I’m glad it was a good one.

Took the baby Willow out for a nice calm sunset cruise

Me and my 11 yr old just getting into foiling. It's end of season now, but we're in texas so could ride into November here. Still trying to get our speed, footing, rope length right. Very fun!
