It’s the little things that remind me how much I miss it, like the other day when I opened my drawer to grab my wallet and I saw my boat keys. At the end of last summer we bought a (new to us) Sea Ray Sundeck. We didn’t get much time to really shake it down properly, although the warm autumn had us riding well into October.

My wife’s father is an extreme car cleaner. Waxes. Buffs. Uses a toothbrush (though not to wax and buff). While she isn’t quite that bad thorough she has told me more than once that she can’t wait to get it out and put the scrubby dubby on the new boat. I guess that will be nice…. but me, I am looking forward to that moment when you cruise out of the no wake zone, point it to the big water, and open up the throttle.

I can’t wait for spring.

What about you?
