Boating!

My dad has had a boat for quite a few years and we took it out on a Sunday afternoon in June for a spin around the lake. It's probably been seven or eight years since it's been in the water and thankfully it started up with no problem. However, we did have a problem when we started to go a little faster when out on the lake. It just had no power to get up and go and after riding around at a slow speed for maybe 15 minutes we decided it was best to call it a day. We are glad we did because when we got it out of the water we realized it had been taking on water! He found a hole in the radiator cable which was causing the boat to fill up and not go at full speed. We ended up going back to their house and swimming for the afternoon. My dad got the boat fixed, but we haven't had a good weekend yet to try it out again. Hopefully soon we can take it back out for a real spin around the lake! You can watch a little of our boating here!
