Keystone Last Weekend Jun 2009

Took out our exchange student through the Girl Scout camp program. Boat ran great. Did a lot of tubing and swimming. Ended up spending almost 5 hours on the water. While swimming I anchored the boat in about 3 feet of water out from the beach. Here is the interesting thing, when I put it back on the trailer there was hardly any water in her. Maybe the water is due to not getting the plug tight enough. Or maybe with use, some of the seals are starting to swell up now.

The bad news is the Garmin 178C did not work again. The new transducer was installed, but still no depth. I sent the whole unit back for service. The good news it is under waranty and so far Garmin has been easy to work with. Hopefully this will do the trick.

I put her on the trailer. Still got it to deep. The bow never hits the lead roller which I think is what is required for it to center up properly. Next time I am going to lay the rollers out flat and back up until they are just in the water. Then see what happens.

Hope everyone had a safe 4th.
