Maiden Voyage on Minnetonka

Since the boat was here getting fixed, we decided to take it out on Lake Minnetonka, which is so close to our house. Gabe did a great job and had an easy time getting it into the water, then turn the key, and the battery is dead! Got it charged up by renting a charger from the near by marina and off we go. After it was running a while, it started making the same beeping warning + having the same cutting out power issue as it had before. So happy we didn't haul it all the way back to Vermilion with it still having problems. At the end of the night as we were pulling it out, we forgot to trim up and it made a horrible scraping sound, what a rookie mistake. Oops!  

Despite the issues, we still had a great time and it was so fun to be out on the water mid week! It was a gorgeous evening. Crazy that lake is right in our back yard!


  

 

Of course if we are out on the boat, need to go get ice cream! Since we were nervous the boat would die, Gabe kept it running while I ran with the kids to the Trolley in Excelsior to grab ice cream. 

Beautiful sun set

Don't forget about Finn! Jill came to watch Finn while we went out. He had a nice evening and got to bed on time
