Taking the toys to the marina!

I just keep getting more and more jealous.
I am stuck working out of town and literally have Saturday's to try and get a little house work done and say hi to the family before i leave again.

I will live the dreams through you guys!
 
Nice! And how in the world is the grass that green already in Illinois? I was figuring another few weeks. Great looking boat you've got there.
 
Got mine out of storage and in the water Saturday also. Very mild (for us) in Illinois. image.jpeg image.jpeg
Going out today with family and dogs to run around.
 
@BobJohnson did you store it at nielsens in lake villa? Yes our Il weather is awesome right now! Hopefully a good start to a long summer!
 
VERY nice setup with boat and rig. We had a beautiful weekend here as well, but I think I will wait until May 1st or so before I pull it out of storage.

Not nielsens (mines a chaparral). I would have just stored it at my marina (Sequoit) for the winter, but paid an extra $75 and drove it 15 miles so I could store it at Munson ski where I bought it. They were suppose to fix a gelcoat problem over the winter. Was told they did and didn't discover they didn't until I pulled the wrap off.
Got the family and dogs out today. Summer is off and rolling. (Knock on wood this keeps up)

Do you boat on the Illinois River ?
 
We slip at big basin in Channahon. Des plaines/Illinois river.
