Thanks Uncle Sam

Well, we have the boat all blown up and repaired - ready for some fun! - Then found out that Uncle Sam has regulated us out of the water!

Paddle Fee for a boat over 10 ft - $7.00
Regstration for a boat of 15 feet - $45.00 + $5.00 invasive species fee = $50.00
Boat Education Cards for 4 - around $120.00

So - We spent the Boat Education Card monies on a trolling motor - that the boys are able to drive - (Jon can't drive until he is 12 on our outboard). Registered the boat for a V-Day gift to hubby, which covers the Paddle Fee. (rolls eyes)  We will get registered in a class to take the test for the card in a bit – but this is the fast way to get on the lake. :)
