Finally got our boat in Friday. Lake Erie was a little too choppy for my bow rider. But was able to spend two days on the river this weekend. Happy Father’s Days to all the dads out there.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Nice!! We're also looking forward to getting out when the weather finally turns in our favour. . .

[@ampegor]

Cool and windy and wet. We’ve managed a few days out. Hey a bad day on the boat is still better than a good day at work. Supposed to be warm this week. Hope you had a great weekend with the family.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Good to hear that you've had a few days out so far. For us, it's only been the one (short) run with the kitties a couple of weeks ago. Had a really strong storm blow through on Thursday night - video to follow - but thankfully no damage. Looks like summer is gonna hit us hard starting this week! 🥵

[@calhinz1965]

Have been out on small run on Missouri River at Omaha have a 1999 290 Sundancer

I hate when work gets in the way of good boating weather. But alas it's the reason we can call it boating weather and not just good weather. At least that's what I tell myself.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I'll take what we get. At this point in my life, any day on the boat is a good one...

[@hockeynutt9434]

Hi Paul, We are up at Lake Nipissing, just brutal over last many weeks, Just wind every single day, gusts just make any kind of boat ride/cruise not enjoyable, We are not enclosed so adds to my bitter frustration. Not to mention, warm weather has stayed away. Everyone knows not to talk about global warming to me.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Supposed to hit over 40°C by mid week here 🥵

[@user-ph8sh9kt9v]

Love your channel but by the time you're finished prepping that boat and making it look good. It will be winter again 😊

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

All part of the process 😉

[@joanneiler2415]

Have a great father's day on boogaboo with the family 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Thank you!

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Happy Father's Day Paul!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

And all the best to you as well Sam!

[@christopherozolins4724]

happy fathers day !

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Cheers!

[@shinystar1781]

finally looking forward to a jaunt from Midland to Parry Sound this week during this hot stretch

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I'd love to see some video of that! It's been five years since we've done that run and I'm starting to get the Georgian Bay itch starting...

[@shinystar1781]

well come out and join us Georgian Bay folk sometime😊

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

@shinystar1781 I'm looking forward to it 🤓

[@gilrheaume6283]

Always loved your videos but I like jelly on my peanut butter sandwiches how about you. Your friend Gil in the lower 48's

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I haven't had one of those in years! Gonna have to ask Anchor Girl to make me one when we're away on holidays 🙂

[@garystrain2788]

Terrible in the UK as usual

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Sorry to hear that! We've got some scorching hot weather coming our way this week...

[@dextersxxxxlab]

well the weather over here😂😂😂. Have one word for it. SUCKS!!! Weather will be a bit warmer from now but it is like it is still fall over here. a lot of wind and so much rain. heavy clouds. cool weather. we slept on the boat last weekend. it was 10 degrees celcius. 😢and wet. No summer is far far far away.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

The weather guessers are talking about us going right into summer next week, with temps feeling like 40° or higher by mid week!! 🥵 We'll be going from complaining about the cold to whining about the heat in just a few days 😂
