Default My first boat in 30 years

Last June a friend of ours let us use their camp on Squam for a long weekend. He would not let me use his 20 foot Sea Ray but he did let me use his 12 foot aluminum fishing boat. My wife and I went out in the fishing boat and while I fished she rowed. I let her fish for a while and I rowed and she caught some fish and had a really good time. On the way home she said " If you had a comfortable boat I would not mind fishing with you sometimes". That is all it took. I found a used Bass Tracker on Craigslist and it was in our driveway in 3 days. And she and I had a good summer of fishing together.

The next thing that happened is we liked the camp on Squam so much we started looking for a camp of our own. This March we closed the deal and we now have a water front camp on Moultonborough Bay.

Then she said "We really should have a big boat so we could go to Wolfborough or Meridith". You guessed it, we are picking up our Four Winns this Saturday.

No one knows what she will talk me into next!!!
