I've been in seas like that. Watched the entire bow of our ship go under water. So rough you could only sleep on the floor.

Due to proper observance of traffic laws (hands free phone) I can't show you, but I saw @Troch1 today while he was bringing his boat South and I was going North.
Ha! You most certainly did. Boat is now on the lift and awaiting good weather. We wanted to go out today, but the sun decided to hide and the wind kicked up pretty significantly.

I saw this on a house in my neighborhood yesterday. My home is about the same size and both are roughly 50 years old. If I wasn’t living this I would not believe what it costs/is worth. I could sell, buy my next home outright with cash if it’s somewhere from away from work and probably not someplace I would like to live.

Half that price, in my area.

Ronnie wouldn't do well with the weather though, and his commute would eat up all the savings

I'm bored at home, sick, and watching this music video. I really appreciate the production quality 👀

New trailer tires, to be mounted and balanced this week.
I was toying with the idea of going to R15, 225/75R15 has a lot more choices, but concluded it is just not worth all the work involved and probably marginal, if uncertain, benefits.

I went with the same brand, size and rating “D”, still the highest capacity available in that size, nice additional peace of mind.

Sea Breeze Salt Therapy. I'm a believer.

My middle daughter took the picture; she likes the cabin, lol.

@swatski No chair outside?
No chair, yet. I may get something figured once I know how I use it most, right now I use it mainly for docking, throwing lines, and to get some salt breeze in my face; that second station can not be operated in any natural, or comfortable, position - it's very awkward. That said, it's the best option on this boat, it's super cool, makes me smile anytime I use it.

Today was a fresh water day, and I already miss the ocean... lol.
It's going to be tough to find time to do both, I think we will be doing the lake on nice warm weekend days, I can then hit the ocean whenever. This Parker boat is really like a tank and can plow through anything so weather is way less of a factor.

Today was our first day on the lake!

Finishing up day 4 of covid. Im a guy that never gets the flu or fever. I haven't had a fever since I was a child, and I'm 31. My friend came by with the full south American treatment: dried fruits, teas, medicine, vitamins, and chicken soup. Im blessed to have friends like this.
