Family Boat Day (2024)

[Latimeria]

Every year we get out on the boat, but recently in the last few years we've loved hitting San V.  We were supposed to have our granddaughter, but she had to miss it for other reasons.

100-degree heat and one long ass walk from the ramp to the lot.



Fish were loving the ramp.  tons of bluegill and baby bass everywhere.





The sun was brutal and it was just downright hot.  The girls asked if I could bring some shade, so I put together something that worked out great!  It looked a little ghetto, but did the job!



We spent 3 hours cruising the lake and chilling with lunch until the oppressive heat was too much.



Finally we called it quits.  The minute I went up to get my truck, people started pouring in and I can say with utmost certainty that freshwater boaters are the worst on the ramp.  Doors wide open, no one could back down in a straight line...  Kids blocking the ramp with their trucks twice the height as they are...  I'd usually do what I've been doing and say it's just me with no patience, but my wife saw it all unfold from a distance and was wondering what the hell everyone was doing on the ramp.  At least for once I felt a little vindicated.

Anyway, minus that one snafu at the end, it was a fun day on the water.  Hannah will be an adult here in a few weeks, so this was her last trip on the boat as a kid. 
hahahaha

Air was 101.2 and the water was 87 degrees.  Water felt like ice water compared to the air.  lol

Jeez that's hot. Sounds nice though. The ramp shenanigans is just horrendous sometimes. Thanks for giving me another reason not to fish freshwater out here! Barely tempted anyway but, ski boats...and their owners.......shivers...

Looks like fun, find a cove, anchor up and go for a swim.

That ramp can be a Cluster on a busy Summer day. Easy walk, just like Valley Center, Ha Ha
