The Next Day After The First Day At Lake Dora 2018

Karen Harrison at the Helm at the Dora Canal

As promised the fantastic weather and the boats all showed up yesterday. The two temp docks are full, and the show grounds started hopp’n mid day Friday.  We were able to shut the store for a couple hours and took a great boat ride through the canal. We did over stock on a bunch of items and today will still be open and selling the goodies. We have just about everything in stock, but starting to run out of sizes. Hope to see you at the tent. And oh, M-fine, too bad on the updates, you should have come!

      No my guess is Matt is having it brought up to Jersey to have Katz restore it and then have it installed in Reedville.

    Never had my picture ( yellow hat) on the cover of Woody Boater before and then later on with Sunnyland flag..Too much exposure.

    Regarding Tommy Holmes; yes, if you’ve never met him you’re definitely missing something. Just be sure to be up to speed on your shots first. 😀. Kidding aside, I hope he’s telling everyone about the “S.S. Milwaukee” project taking place this May in Manistee. If not, just ask him.

    Woohoo! Missed out on Tavares, but our kids (freshman and sophomores) finished second in the regatta and qualified for the gold regional race in Christchurch VA April 14th. I will have to pull out the Woodyboater app to see if I can find anyone in the area that I could rent a 25 Sportsman or a trawler from for the weekend.
