Winter Boat Check

Mike & Pam

Pam, Boomer and I enjoyed a chilly Spring Break hanging around beautiful Lake Charlevoix MI. The boat is in heated storage at Boyne Boat Yard in Boyne City, MI which is on the east end of Lake Charlevoix. We spent time on the boat getting familiar with the systems, measuring, adjusting a few things and doing some general planning with the boat yard. Looks like we will launch in early June and get to know her better for a couple weeks on Lake Charleviox. Can’t wait!

Found a Dinghy

Mike & Pam
We found a dinghy…. its the Highfield Classic 290 with a Tohatsu 9.8HP gas 4 stroke motor. This combo should be plenty to do all the motoring around towns that we need and it weighs less than 200lbs. The plan is to keep the Highfield on an extended Trick davit system mounted to the swim platform. There are many davit options but we think this will allow us to deploy and secure the dinghy quickly for maximum use.
