Had an awesome day at the Cove with friends. The weather was perfect and the water was super clear. If you didn't know any better you would of thought you were in the Bahamas the water was so clear!

I even got my fat ass on a friends new waverunner and had a blast! The thing would be at 62mph in a second! He said he had it to 72mph but I wasn't that brave. It had been about 20 years since I had ridden one. They have done some inprovements over the years!

great looking day - and the boys helping out with the boat is great.
question for you - it looks like you have the coastal underwater lights mounted on the engine bracket. where/how did you run the wires after they enter into the bracket? where do they come out of the bracket and enter the boat?

Bluewater installed them when the boat was built. I am sure they just go through a small hole in the transom.

I rode all around there on that waverunner. I barely saw any small fish much less a shark. Not saying they aren't there. A manatee came through and you could see it from about a 100 yards away the water was so clear. Never heard of anyone getting bit there. I was swimming there when I was my kids age. Hopefully they will bring their kids there. It is by far one of the greatest boating spots on the treasure coast.

yep! I used to go there all the time in High School and when I went to IRCC in the early 90's.... My cousins live used to dive along the south side of the channel for lobster... probably pretty dumb in hindsight but they are like fish in the water.

Looks like a fantastic day. That's what it's all about. I especially like the picture of your boy putting the boat on the trailer. Nothing cooler than being a young kid and getting to drive something real. That boat in the background definitely looks like it's struggling to get to that dock though.

Hopefully next summer. I switched careers last summer and just hit my one year mark but we are also fixing to be doing tons of mandatory overtime through Christmas.

He passed his Coast Guard Safe boating course at age 9.
