Animals are always desperate to dig things up down there.  Not sure what the animal was, but it must have been very strong to push the bricks out of the way.  Maybe it was the mink?  A mighty mink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On Sunday morning we prepped the boat to launch it.  This is the earliest we&#8217;ve ever put it in the water.  First, Kevin had to take off the giant tarp and the structure that held it together.  We&#8217;re quite pleased with the durability of the new cover and it was much easier to disassemble than it was to put it together last fall.  It was easier for Kevin, that is, who did it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a4.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We then cleaned the boat, starting with waxing the pontoons.  When we started I was grumbling in my mind, thinking that just the pontoon waxing would take hours.  But Mom came over to help and it only took us an hour and a half, including cleaning the interior of the boat and I even went a little crazy and waxed the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a5.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a5-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And then we launched it!  Kevin expertly backed the truck up, unhooked the boat, then drove forward and quickly backed it to get the boat to glide free from the trailer.  A family was picnicking and fishing there by the boat launch, and later Kevin told me that they all cheered when he&#8217;d successfully backed the boat into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mom and I motored back to our dock and Kevin was ther, waiting to jump on the boat for an inaugural ride.  A great ride and it was interesting to see all the trees with their naked branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a6.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a6-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin and I wore matching &#8220;Mutts&#8221; t-shirts, because why not?
