New Zincs!

Time to install the new Zincs on the boat before we drop her in on Friday!


Here is what the old Zincs look like. Yuck!

More Zincs! This Bravo III has a lot of Zinc to replace!

Ohhh, new zincs look so shiny and pretty! Thanks for protecting our engines!

That's one big box!

Our dox box came the other day and we've got it all set up on B-18 and ready to load up with boating goodies! Thanks for your help Faron in getting this set up in the rain.

The Royston GRILL!

WOOT! Our grill came today via UPS! We just ordered it on Sunday so we were surprised to see it at the door today. We saved a ton of money ordering it online even with the shipping cost. It's Magma Catalina and I know we are going to love it. We'll be cooking up a storm on it all summer long.

Sounds corny but I really wanted this little shelf that hooks to the front of the grill. We can set things on it and use it as a cutting board as well. Look how cool and useful it can be!

This is the rod holder. It attaches to the bottom of the grill and allows us to set the grill into the fishing rod holder on the boat. It's a fancy folding one so that when it's not in use, we can just fold it right on the grill to be put away.

And here is our fancy new Grill cover/bag! WOOT!

That's sooooommmmmm wrench!

At our door today was the delivery of the wrench we need to change out our zinc on the boat before she goes in the water. This is by far the biggest wrench I have ever seen! What the heck else are we going to use this for?

2008 - Here we come

Our official 2008 Maryland fishing license came for Reel It In Panaroy last week. We can't wait to put the sticker on her. Paul has officially started the countdown to Trophy season. He can't wait and neither can I. Look out Rockfish... here we come.

B-18

Good news has come our way. We have signed our contract with Podickory and have slip # B-18. We are so very excited. We're smack dab in between two mega huge boats so Reel It In Panaroy will look so small between them but it's a great spot! WOOT!

Bought this electric kettle for our coffee and tea in the morning. It takes so long to heat up our water in the microwave that I thought that this would be the best route to go especially considering how much coffee my Paul can drink! gulp gulp gulp!

Storage Solutions and Successes

Paul came up with a brillant idea to store some of our boat stuff that had been sitting on the floor in our place. He went to Home Depot and picked up a piece of sheetrock and built what you see below. The gray straps are what usually holds up the hard top of my jeep so since the hard top is on the jeep now, we were able to re-purpose this for what we really need!

Here it is all pulled up to the top of the ceiling. Piled on top of it is the seat and cushion that goes on the back of the boat as well as all the cushions and mattress pads. We also have up there all the canvas that is usually on the boat but when the boat got all wrapped up, you have to take all the canvas off the boat. So the Jeep fits nicely beneath the pile of boat stuff and I don't have to see everything piled up on the floor in my house. I love you Paul!
When we got home from our weekend in PA, we found this in the mail box!!!
SUCCESS! The long awaited, boat registration has been finally been received from DNR. I can't believe it. This was not without pain and misery trying to make this happen. But here it is in all her blue glory... the long awaited stickers to put on Reel It In Panary.

She's finally LEGAL.
