In more fun news...
Nov. 21st, 2021 07:29 pmWe took the power boat out of the lake today. It has an appt at the shop Tuesday to get its (as Ken put it) "neonatal appointment" (plus winterizing.) Supposed to be at 20 hours of operation, but we've only had about 12. They said it made sense given that it's winterize time and half the stuff's the same.
Then we used the sailboat to haul up one of the (formerly) 100 pound mushroom anchors, which have been corroding over the past 30 years and I'm thinking might fail in a really major storm. So we want to replace them. But we wanted a better look than just me peering at it while snorkeling. But, yes, they are lame and we will replace them next year. Anyway, it was effort to get it up off the bottom, and then more effort to get it up on shore. I'm wondering how much it actually weighs. Maybe I'll bring a scale down to the shore...
