Caribbean

They call Bear Lake the Caribbean of Utah...


I can understand that when I'm surrounded by the turqoise water...


But, not when I'm at the State Park Marina...


Yikes! That's a long line! We launched from the exact other side of the lake. A good experience for us, so we'll never attempt this again.

But, Bear Lake was wonderful - sunny and cool.

Not Boat Related

Yes, I still have interests outside of the boat!

Please note that an anticipated event for Hrithik, Ash, and/or Bollywood fans is upcoming! Within the next two weeks, Jodhaa Akbar will be released on DVD.



Hooray!

Utah Lake

We tried the sailboat out on Utah Lake last weekend.

No motor. (It's on order.)

So, we sailed it out of the dock, and back into the dock.



Lucky Weston and Lisa got to experience the adventure with us. It was a lot of fun and we did really well (again considering that we had no motor) ...

Boat Name

We've had a lot of people ask if the boat has a name.

Not yet.

We're tossing around ideas, and we're thinking about a few of them, but so far only one of them has stood out as a strong possibility.
(No, I'm not going to tell you which one.)

So, I've put a few of our ideas to the left. Mark one or more that you may like, and we'll see what my five readers think. Or if you have other ideas, feel free to comment ...

Fourth Crew

We figured out what was up with the motor, so Matt, Dad, Shaun and I headed out on the lake again. The engine worked intermittently, and ultimately huffed it's last. Did you know there's not anyone around willing to work on a 1981 boat motor? There aren't.

Anyway - we sailed it into the dock, which was funny. We were all pretty nervous, but it went well. But we were cruising in there and then dropped the main sail when we got close. There was a lady in a corresponding dock whose eyes were the size of dinner plates as we swiftly sailed straight towards her, Matt jumping off the boat, reigning it in with the dock line. Crazy fun!
