(the sixth largest lake in the US--nothing's bigger except the Great Lakes)

bathing suits and catching those Green Mountain rays
Tim relaxing on the loaner
boat Steve got from the manufacturer...
unfortunately its motor died
the first time we took it out,
so we could only use it for
trawling, which is moving at half a horsepower
(the regular motor gives you
90 horsepower).
We would just take it out
to the middle of the lake and use it as a diving platform.

One morning the neighbor's
boat got loose from its mooring and started drifting away in a strong breeze.
Steve happened to see it in
time, and paddled out in the kayak to rescue it.
Everyone was watching to see
if Steve could save the boat!
He attached it to the kayak
with a rope and tugged it back to the dock.
Made it! Bert and Steve secure
the boat to the dock.
Tim laughs and Bert gives
a thumbs-up while Steve tells the owner what happened.
When Valley friends Brian
and MB came up with their (functioning) boat,
we were able to go tubing
at last. This is Dylan's first time.
Tim was eager to tube again
after experiencing the thrill in 2001.
Deb and Bert give it a go.
Tubing is way easier than water skiing.
You don't have to stand up,
just hold on!
Night fishin' tips for Dylan
and Liese from Uncle Stephen
Dylan hoping to end the day
with a catch.
