Here are a few from my Father/Son trip of this past weekend: Jetski2Catlima via a detour through Yosemite.
Not necessarily in this order: The views from Glacier Peak and the backside of Half Dome, getting ready for the next adventure to Catalina, proof we made it there and back.

Decided to take this past Monday off due to the unseasonably warm weather - low 80’s, sunny, no wind - but almost missed it.

We decided to do a run up to Fremont (@drewkaree is the unofficial Mayor) and as we were throttling up I felt a vibration on the port side engine and a lack of thrust. We continued on in no wake to clear the marina channel and I then removed the plugs. Found a small amount of weeds in both intakes (not unusual for the marina channel) but nothing that would cause what we were experiencing. As I was feeling around in the port intake I felt what seemed to be a dock line but I know it wasn’t mine. It was thin and had a loop so I was able to get both hands on it and pull - after several seconds I was able to yank it out. I’ve never seen a line like this before but I’m guessing someone tossed it in the channel and I was unlucky enough to suck it up.

We then continued on to Fremont which has a long no wake section on the Wolf River on the weekends but not during the week. It is a much more enjoyable trip during the week and cuts down on the travel time.

Had lunch at Hotel Fremont and then headed back to the boat ramp - it was a perfect afternoon. This should be our last outing of the season and if we end on that note I’ll be a happy camper.
