Our first boat ride

We went to Utah Lake tonight with our good friends, the Kruegers.

YEAH! The boat is finally on the water!
It has taken Jon so much time and hard work to get this
$200 boat running and ready for the water.

See the smoke on the left side?
Alex is trying to block the burnt rubber smell from going into his nose!
The head gasket started leaking.

After being stranded for about 30 minutes
we got towed into the harbor by some friendly boaters.



It was a good first run. I'm glad Larry was there to help Jon learn the boating rules. He also noticed the heat gauge before it ruined anything major.

We're so happy it's running, but
it'll take a bit more time, effort, and money to get it back on the water.
