Finally on the water

   Yeah, I’ve been very quiet lately. Life has been challenging trying to buy a place on the water and sell our place near Deep Lake. Downsizing sucks, but there are bigger problems!

Launching the boat today kind of makes this a milestone day since it’s the first time we will even be on the lake. We are on Lake Shafer in Monticello IN. The water—not clear like Deep Lake for sure; maybe 4’ of visibility. Lots of weekend traffic—-but the morning glass and a couple of miles of ski
Run is looking promising. 

This is our first lakefront property so we have a few things to learn but we have shore power, a permanent dock and somehow managed to move and get two boat lifts into the lake. It’s amazing what some people can do with muscle. 

Well if any of you are in or near Monticello, IN (or other central IN lakes) don’t hesitate to reach out. I think we know three or four people now here. 

It’s an adventure.

	Congrats on becoming a lakelubber.
	Feels like I am hanging 10 but in reality - probably hanging 6.
