Took the boat for a ride today...

[Wayloncle]

...even got it wet, but never actually got it in the water:-/
Plan was to go launch out of Mexico Beach and hang out around St Joseph peninsula State Park area. It started raining as we left the house, started pouring by the time I got to MB. Ate lunch and decided to drive down to Port St Joe and Cape San Blas since I've never been down there before. It cleared up so I found a ramp and started to take the cover off and launch then I realized it was 3:30, so it wouldn't give much time to explore/hang out so we went back to MB and parked on the side of the road and played on the beach. While driving to MB I realized I had crossed the time zone so really it was 2:30 to me not 3:30...so I should have went boating anyway...
Oh well, it was fun and that's the most the boat has been towed in a year!

Rain kept us off of the water all weekend as well.

We got chased off the lake late this afternoon by pop up thunderstorms. A beautiful day out otherwise. Drove through a brief rain shower coming home. Didn't get a drop at the house.

I opted the other way. Didn't even go up to the boat with the possibility of rain today. Turned out to be a good call as the thunder rolled in... but I got a lot done around the house.

Sorry for your rainout. There will be other days.

If I would have listened to myself, instead of the passenger seat, we would have spent several enjoying hours on the boat;-)

We fared a little better here in the north. Went to the beach at Nashawena Island which is located at the end of the Elizabeth Island chain on Quicks Hole. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4407943,-70.854346,1194m/data=!3m1!1e3 It's about a 50 minute boat ride at about 30 - 35 mph across Nantucket Sound and Vineyard Sound. Saw some interesting females on the beach.

Yes...These ladies were sunning themselves and enjoying the day. They even brought a few cow pies to share. Does anybody know the breed of these longhorn? I'm guessing they are an English or Irish breed but not sure.

you know how you tell the diff between English steer and Irish steer?? The accent silly.......lol

 

[Wayloncle]

Yep, don't think I'd ever even think about running across a cow on a beach!

I don't know much about cows, but they look like red highland cattle to me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_cattle

I didn't get to touch the boat at all this weekend. I should have gone out Sunday, but I listened to the weather people. They said rain on/off starting around lunch time...needless to say we didn't get any rain until after dinner! Ugh...

I've seen plenty of them. Unfortunately they are usually in two piece bikinis that are way too small for them.
