Sure feels great to be back on the water after 2+ months of selling our house, packing, buying our new house, unpacking and settling in! We were long over due on boating so we got a small crew together to run from Stuart to Clewiston' s Roland Martin ' s Tiki bar across Lake Okeechobee! Weather was stunning with just a 6" surface chop on the water!

The ride home from Clewiston to Lock Park in Stuart was quite the adventure! Completely opposite of our beautiful, sunny ride across Lake Okeechobee. After lunch at Roland Martins we noticed the gray sky's moving in from the NW. The winds began blowing west to east straight across the lake as a storm front was steam rolling over Lake Okeechobee. We packed up and took the rim canal for some protection until it ends...then the lake turned into a 2-4' washing machine! The big 2800 just blasted through everything! We did get a few misty ones to the face! Can't say the same about the rest of my friends in their STV's, Lake and Bay, etc. They got the snott beat out of them and we're soaking wet...however, my dryness didn't last for long. Just as I entered the lock to head the 26 miles back to the ramp, the storm attacked with a fury! Howling winds, rain, lighting and thunder. I put my wife in the cabin and hauled azz! The rain drops stung like bees! We were soaked! I checked my GPS speed and it read 68mph. Not to shabby for 90 degree weather, a couple old fishing motors and 600 lbs of gas!!

Congrats on the new house. Always wanted a home in the "pines" myself, with all that space, privacy, etc. Boat has come along nicely too.
