Just sit right back, and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip...

About 4 in the afternoon, Jack showed up on his boat at the pier at the park. Nukewaste had concerns about the craft's overall seaworthiness, and elected to document the expedition from shore, but Leo and _________ (help me out here. Andrea?) jumped aboard, and they set sail for the middle of the lake.

It was mostly calm on the water, though there were many powerboaters out, since it was such a nice day. Wakes became an issue on what looked to be several occasions.

But they made it out there,

and they made it back,

they even looked good doing it.

We then made a game way harder than it was supposed to be, but had fun, took another group photo that looks like we're a band

and then headed our separate ways until next time.

Survived

Jack made it to shore, um, somewhat after sunset. I'm a bit tired now, but will upload pictures from the site and stories, probably this evening.
