Good morning everyone/ Found a much better deal on a smaller boat. It's a Bass boat 17 feet with all the bells and whistles.

Boy Richard, you are a glutton for punishment! Owning both a boat AND a RV. I did the boat thing for 10 years and one of the happiest days of my life was the day the new owner pulled the boat out of my yard. Lot's of $$$ for maintenance. I am assuming that you will be using the boat in fresh water. My boat was only used in salt water and it's like using it in acid. Took so long to clean it when we got home from a trip that I got tired of it. Sounds like a REALLY good deal though. I hope you use it a bunch a catch a lot of fish. Using a boat in fresh water requires much less maintenance.

Looks like my 4th of July plans aren't going to happen. We had to make plans for Jetty Park a year in advance to be able to get reservations. I had a RV spot next to a cabin that we rented for my nephew and his young family. My nephew works hard and has a wife and two small children. They rarely get to take a vacation and we had rented them the cabin for a couple of days while we were staying at Jetty Park. My wife bought all this cute beach stuff (small beach chairs, beach toys, etc) for the kids. Jetty Park called us on Monday and said they canceled our cabin reservations. They aren't opening the cabins again until September 15th. Our RV site hasn't been canceled yet but they don't know when the campground will reopen again. I am not holding my breath. This is the 2nd trip we have had canceled due to Covid-19. We had a week vacation planned in Key West a couple of weeks ago that got canceled. I only get 3 weeks vacation so my time off is precious. I have to use a certain amount of time off before August 1st so I guess I will just take time off and get some things done around the house.

I hope everyone is doing well.
