Gonna be a bit chilly in the northern midwest this weekend, but... low winds and sunny skies will help at 65 degrees on Lake Geneva this weekend. Sorry I missed you guys @OperationROL & @Lawman25 last weekend, with water temps at 58 degrees I wasn't staying in too long to walk over and say hi! 🥶🧊

How about?

@props2you wish I could make it out this weekend, but it’s gonna be a little too chilly for my blood. I’ll be home cutting the grass for the 4th time in 2 weeks. Might wash and wax the hull if I feel froggy.

still debating this weekend, with it being a little colder and our home lake is currently no wake.... not sure we will make it out this weekend. We are always up for a meet.

@OperationROL we were at the ramp waiting to get out last weekend and saw you guys pulling away...
Really? Sorry we missed you. Was our first time out. Had a great time. Hope you did as well

No problem. I get it. I did not get in either. @Lawman25 set my rear anchor for me. No reason for all of us to be cold...lol.

I'm afraid last weekend was the last time Perfect Heaven II will be launched at Lake Geneva. She is prepped and ready to move to her new home on the Clinch River/Watts Bar Lake in Knoxville, TN. We head out at 3 am tomorrow. Bye, bye Illinois, hello Tennessee! 20200529_134559.jpg

Yeah I don’t know why as I have never been there but I keep saying I want to move to Knoxville (I mean for the warmer weather of course). You will have to let me know how you guys like it.

@OperationROL maybe I’ll see you down there some day. I’m planning a move to the Chattanooga area later this year, haven’t decided if I’m going to end up closer to Chickamauga or Watts-Bar. Anywhere but IL, this last few months has sealed the deal for me.

@OperationROL wow I am shocked. Wishing you the best. Your still going to Shelbyville this year?
Matt, I'm still up in the air and leaning towards not. If I make it, it will be boatless and without Andrea. Jackson's school starts on the 27th of July so at least one of us has to be here.

I look forward to catching up with you down here. Although, when I was there,, we only lived a few miles from each other and never crossed paths. Lol.

It's so nice down here. I can't wait to start learning everything and not being "new" anymore.

Unbeknownst to me, my wife took pictures of the first time in the marina. This is our temp spot until Monday when they adjust my lift.

I think we might head to table rock for that trip instead. We will miss everyone.

@Walt McCree we also have a slip at Lake Springfield Marina - we live 200 miles away but our oldest daughter is 4 miles from the marina and our younger one is about an hour so it’s a good meet up spot. Here this weekend but a little odd weekend for us as it was supposed to be our daughters wedding today. Postponed for covid. Nice day on the lake though and water temp was finally comfortable. Busiest I have ever seen this lake though.
