Well, the ice is off the lake, and the Mariah is still in the barn. Over dinner Easter Sunday, we discussed when we will take the Mariah out for her first 2013 voyage. I'm going to set up the little (14') aluminum fishing boat first. We'll probably take that one out before the Mariah. Spring, and the mild weather is officially here--59 degrees Easter Sunday. At those temps, your thoughts turn to boating!

We are going on The Tail of the Dragon with 2 other Corvette friends. The Corvette Museum is offering the trip which includes the Tail and spend 2 days at the Biltmore Estate. It's a perfect trip--I'll love the drive on the Tail, and the wife will love the Biltmore Estate, everybody will be happy!

The water is CRYSTAL clear at Table Rock.... still a little cold right now though.

Our friends who went to Table Rock said that last year they kept their boat in the water for 10 days, and when they pulled it out there was no slime or ring on the hull.

It looks like any day now, we'll take the Mariah out of the barn. Let the boating season start!

Like I said.... It is Crystal Clear..... Beautiful Clean Lake.

A little setback--there are 4 other boats in front of ours. We will have to wait until 4 other skippers realize that it's time to get their boats out before I can even see the Mariah! I'm thinking I should buy a new battery too. The one in there is 5 years old!! We took it out in the fall and it's been on the maintainer all winter. Just looked at the date now.
