Crap Craig, I had no idea you were under the weather? Sorry to hear it and feel bad that I didn't know! Hope you are doing better. I don't think it was the thought of boating that brought you around. I think it was BMR's birthday wish in No Holds Barred that popped your ass out of bed. Made something pop on me, anyway!
If you need anything Denise and I can help with, YELL!!! Your thoughts helped us out a through the years.
Get well and GET WET!!!
Bryan...

Glad you are getting better Craig. Good to get out and get in the water as well.

Made it down again just me and the Admiral, the cover was still fine, once it was off the seats looked great as well. Only one seat corner had a stain and it came off fine. THE FLOATER started on 3rd turn of the key on a fresh battery! Since I still have issues with my left arm from the stroke the Admiral helped me with opening her up. After taking off the cover and cleaning all the seats while I jacked with stereo not working, she said "after 8 years this is the first time I have ever helped with the boat I like it! and the kids can start doing grocery's and trailer stuff now!" BTW Dual stereos have 2 fuses one inline and one by wiring plug in the back (the bad one).
All and all a successful day of dry boating!

Ready for next weekend!
