George was nice enough to let us use his new boat until he gets up. So I've got the pleasure of launching his boat with a bit of help from Charlotte and Gabe. You know we'll be doing lots of fishing from the boat.

My mom came up for a week this year for the first time. It's great having her up so it's time to start showing her the sites. First stop is Jacobsville and the south entry. I love the way Portage and Superior are so different on each side of the entry.
