We keep our boat on a trailer and my parents wanted us to bring it to their lake yesterday so that we could all have fun with the whole family. Plus my uncle slips his boat out there so we all met up.
Ok, so we pull up to the ramp and go to put in and there was a huge tree hanging over ramp that scraped the top of my truck and made it hard to back down the ramp. We then get the boat in and my wife parked the truck and came back to the ramp for pick up. We then realized there there were no courtesy docks of a safe place around the dock for pick up. It was just huge boulders. So you have to idle in too the ramp and have my 110lb wife stop the boat while holding keys, trying to stop the keel from hitting the concrete and missing the other boaters trying to load and unload. Ok so now we are in the water, everything should be great from here. WRONG!! We idle out of the now wake zone and my wife says what is that smell? It smelled like an old pond that had been sitting for a while, plus the smell of fish. About that time my uncle pulled up in his boat and we asked him about the smell. He said that this lake is a reservoir not a spring feed lake so it is only filled by rain water. So it is just like big pond. It was really bad people. At this time my wife is a little miffed but she keep quote and we started the days activities.
We spent about 6 hours out on the lake wakeboarding tubing and the whole mess. After we were finished we went back to the ramp to unload and found that the police were doing safety checks on all boats that are going in out out. So needless to say it took us about an hour and a half to finally get out of the water. We got back to my parents house and had dinner a stared our long drive home. My daughter started complaining that she was iching really bad. I really did not think anything of it until this morning. We ALL have rashes
all over our bodies, and we even showered last night.
I guess we are just spoiled by our nice lake.
