Labor Day Weekend, 2008

Sabbath afternoon some friends of ours called and asked if we wanted to go wakesurfing near Harrison Bay. I had heard about their earlier wakesurfing adventures and wanted to try it myself, so we got changed into our swim gear and headed over to the boat dock. Once on the boat Russel (the owner of the boat) showed us how it was done and then it was our turns! Getting up was quite awkward and yet surprisingly easy, while finding that illusive "sweet spot" in the wave took a bit more effort.



On Monday (Labor Day) Jane11 and Er!c decided to take the boat out on the lake and explore some of the islands around Harrison Bay. This time we had a newly designed sail and a new electric trolling motor which we wanted to try out. There was a slight breeze so we used a combination of both. We also went swimming, explored a couple quiet coves and got sunburned!
