Come & see what we see & do (Boatwithus) Jerry L, Dee B & Miko our dog ! ! ! ! ! !: LONG WEEKEND HERE! ! ! ! ! !

Well it's long weekend here and the weather is not the greats friday was not to bad, it was sunny and warm. And saturday we wake up to cooler and wind. So we will have to wait and see what the rest of the day is like??? We are all ready to go south got the carbs and the motors are running good. We have been told that this is a very busy weekend for boaters to be out on the river so we are just kind holding back before we leave here. We have 13 miles of old dead trees that are in the river to go through. They are call ( no seemens ) and can put a hole in the bottom of the boat. And when it is windy it can make it even harder to see them and for driving. So if we don't leave here today or sunday then we would like to be gone on tuesday. Here are so more of the pic's that we took on our test drive..

These barges are going up and down the river every day.

This the bridge that we crossed everyday when we were in the hotel. It is the wakota bridge. It is a very busy bridge.

This looking out our front window sitting at the Marina in Twin Citys. (st.paul). Nice view right. How can anyone not like that to wake up to every morning !!!!!

Rose sittng out on deck enjoying her first boat ride she said that this is nice.

And here she is behind the wheel of the boat. Looks like she is having fun.????

Here I am driving it too we all took a turn at it.

And Captain Jerry with out his hat. The Captains hat that is we have found one he likes yet so he doesn't have one..

This the boat that we almost hit when we tried to dock it when the motor would not stay running. It is on the outside of the slip as it is to wide to go in a slip. We were lucky that Ted was there and pushed us away from it. And I was there helping push too but Ted saved us..
Miko has taken a couple of swims too not by his choice either. The first time he just slide off. The second time Rose went out for a smoke before going to bed at about 11:30pm at night, I was in the bathroom and Jerry was in bed already Rose let a scream out Miko fell in the water. I was done what I was doing and up and out the door Rose was off the boat and calling to him to come to her, he went down and under the walk way and she got a hold of him and brought him on the dock here is a pic's from the first swim.
We put him up on the upper deck where it was sunny to get dry. And I had just gave him a bath the night before. The water is dirty here so in for another bath. And he dosen't like his baths at all.

Well that is all for today and hope is all well with all of you back home.
