Cheers to The First Day of Summer

Summer has officially arrived! Also, it was time for another 'Christmas In June' event and although we didn't attend this time around, we have many experiences of those times in years past...

Weather Mon-Fri great, Friday evening comes, and so does the rain, then rain stops and 30mph winds and telephone size logs floating in our river, but deep breath and a cold beer help. Cheers from Chester Ct. USA.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

We've been getting rain throughout the week and hoping that changes soon...

[@boatnutcvs]

Same story North of you on Lake Nipissing... wind, rain and other life commitments seem to keep interfering with boating so far this year! We have only been out once as well with the rest of our time just hanging out at the marina. Hopefully July settles down a little. Cheers from North Bay.

[@cheapme1850]

Exact same situation here, but add extreme heat to the equation and I don’t have A/C. Sometimes it makes me wonder is the boating life worth it.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Same story all around, it seems...

[@ampegor]

We go for 8 days on the boat starting Friday. Can’t wait. It’s been nice during week and kinda crappy weekends so far.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Eight days away on the boat sounds great! Hope you have good weather 🌅

[@shinystar1781]

currently in Mexico (Cabo) overlooking the marina and imagining moving our boat out here where it’s warm and sunny everyday😂

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

And they stock Corona all the time 😎🍺

[@joanneiler2415]

Awesome video boogaboo is ready for boating season 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍cool toy for anchor girl!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I've been waiting for boating season to show up around here 😅

[@daveschultz3132]

Got mine in two weeks ago and that weekend had it out three times. But hasn’t been out since. But did burn a half a tank of gas. Man did it feel good to be back on the water!!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I'm looking forward to actually being able to get out for a cruise or a night or two away. Oh well, well just to see - but I am very excited about a big change coming up for us this weekend! Stick around to see what's up with Boogaboo 😁

[@eternitysshore]

Weekend weather down in the north Chesapeake has been bad as well. Hope you were able to get out that following weekend. Cheers!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Technically, I did get the boat out for this weekend, but that's a long story that I'll be sharing soon. . .

[@greensdreams]

Glad to see you are enjoying your new dock set up. PIB also had a Christmas in July weekends but was disbanded a couple of years ago due to rowdy visitors. Thx again for sharing boat projects, always educational and appreciated.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Put In Bay! We saw Pat Daily playing at Sloppy Joes at his 'other' home in Key West. What a great show!! 🌴🎸🎶🍻 Oh, and I got another little project video coming up soon - but wait till you see our latest update on our docking accommodations 🤐🤫

[@greensdreams]

@BoatingWithBoogaboo Not sure if you saw but Pat Daily passed last week

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I hadn't heard that, and sorry to learn of his passing. We only saw him once, at the renowned Sloppy Joes down in Key West. That was a great and rowdy show. Loved it! He'll be missed. . .

[@airman6822]

We were out only once this year but life get's in the way. Planning on July 4th and hoping for nice weather. Cheers!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

And I'm hoping you have a great Fourth of July weather! Our own Canada Day, as you know, is in July 1st, so we're looking forward to a nice long weekend ourselves 🤓

[@ryanmccartney2745]

Hey Paul, the weather is a little better in BC, but not much. Looks like the same Forcast for July long Hope you get out soon I'm rebuilding my raw water pumps this weekend so no boating for us either

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Ya, boat projects always help pass the time.

[@jasonworkman4660]

Sunny and Hot here in Fort Worth, Texas

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I hear the South is getting scorching hot weather these days.

[@holgerlafrenz2895]

Had my boat ready last of may. Haven't touched it since 😢

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

That sucks 😔

[@cruisingwithrangertugwande8041]

Any chance you are coming up to the north channel area, Killarney and little current?

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Not this year. . .

[@lisamig2005]

What do you use on your canvas enclosure steel pipes (black) I have a couple of places it burns my Iglass

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

When we had the top replaced a couple of years ago, the shop wrapped all the stainless in the same canvas material.
