So... Took the Southwind out for the first time today. Went to the Delta, it's the closest to my house (bout 45 minutes to launch out of Discovery Bay). Had a blast, just me and the fiance for our maiden voyage.
Cruised around for 'bout an hour, anchored for a couple more hours and cruised again for a couple hours. Had a blast! Boat ran great, handled great, all in all it was the perfect day for the first day out... Aside from all the wahoo wake barges and high dollar prop boats, the Delta was a zoo. Good thing about it though, is you can always find flat water and always find a place to post up and not be bothered by other crowds.
Was going to be heading up to the boss' houseboat on New Melones for tomorrow and Monday, now we're thinking of just sticking to the Delta again for both days... Have a buddy who just bought a '76 Hawaiian mini day, rebuilt the motor and wants to take it out for his first time tomorrow. Two other jet boat "acquaintances" too who will also be out there, so Memorial Day weekend is off to a great start!
Here's some pics of her on the water, or should I say, her and her?
