See the over 200 photos -Photo Gallery - We got invited to go to the Trump Boat Parade. No, this website is not a political page but we do cover boating events. So before you yell at me about shooting this event let me know if you have something planned for a Biden Boat Parade send me an invite on your boat and I will be happy to come to shoot it. Now back to the day. We meet up with our friend Chris at the Pioneer Marina to launch the boat and head over to Asylum Bay on Lake Winnebago. With the winds coming out of the west at about 15mph it was a little rough. We ran in a pack of other boats heading over and ran with them up the lake. Took a little beating and had to pull some flags down before we got to the bay. As we came around the corner there were a load of boats pooling in the bay and driving around amongst each other. Chris drove us through the crowd and we hung around for about 15 minutes. Then we noticed a pontoon heading out and starting the parade. They were blasting "Proud To Be An American". Everyone started to follow and we headed along the west side of the lake with the group. I had Chris cut back and go against the grain to get some photos of everyone in the parade. I am not good at guessing numbers but would have to believe 150 - 200 boats. It really was a fun sight to see. Everyone was very friendly and seemed to be having a blast. Unfortunately, about 1/4 mile up we found a rock pile and heard that horrible grinding sound. Chris didn't want to even see the prop until later so we continued down to Streich's. I would say about 1/4 of the boats stopped in and tied up. The rest kept going down the lake. My understanding is they were going to run down towards Wendt's. We stopped and took the opportunity to take a look and the prop. Not so good. But he was prepared with another prop so we did the swap out. The waves were about 2' to 2 1/2' and the wind picked up allot. We had a friend call and said she was over at Terrell Island and the wind was not as bad. We broke from the parade and headed to Terell which was a good call - allot of boating friends we knew were there so we got to sit and enjoy time with friends and sunshine. We hung around till about 6pm and decided we need to get some supper. The crew all talked about heading to Winneconne to Biggers Supper Club. Off we went. The wind had calmed way down so it was a very nice ride into Winneconne. We had a nice dinner and a beautiful ride back to Oshkosh. Another fun day on the water. I hope you enjoy the photos and video. See all the photos - Photo Gallery
See the over 150 photos -Photo Gallery - SUNDAY FUNDAY out on the pontoon boat bar at Waverly Beach to see Vic Ferrari Band. A little cooler weather but still was a fantastic day out on Lake Winnebago. We brought out some friends and did our usual eat, drink, and enjoy the sun. There was a nice crowd of boats scattered around the beach area. I think everyone was thinking the same thing. Get out and enjoy as much summertime as possible. Around 3 o'clock Vic Ferrari came out and got the crowd going. We hung out till about 6 and headed for home on a smooth lake. It was a great day and night. Sad to think summer is coming to an end.

See the over 200 photos -Photo Gallery - Sunday Funday with some great weather. We packed up the pontoon and hit the water. The wind wasn't bad and the waves were about 1 to 2. We decided to go take a little run up the Neenah Channel. Never been up that way and figured it was a nice day to try it out. Coming off the lake you will see a single red marker about 150ft out from the Kimberly Point Park Light House. From that point, the channel is very well marked right into the city of Neenah. The first thing you will come across is the lighthouse. It is a very pretty old lighthouse that looks like it needs some new paint soon. As you run down the channel you go past a number of beautiful homes and go past Riverside Park. Just past the park is the bay where the sailboats all tie-up. Seemed like there was not that many in the bay for some reason. Still cool to see from the water. Across the river from this bay is the Whiting Boat House and Doty Park Boat Launch. A little farther up the river, you run past the Thedacare Hospital and the WG Bryan Bridge. The Dam is right past the bridge on the Northside. Just past the bridge is the Neenah Marina and Shattuck Park. There is a nice boat dock and sea wall here. Which is right on the East end of Downtown Neenah. There are a number of places you can go to for food and drink from here. We spun around and headed back up the channel and off to Waverly Beach. As usual, we pulled up close to the bar at Waverly. The band outside was Saddlebrook. We went up and got a few drinks and watched the band and ran into a few people we know. On the way back out my wife pulls up a bottle from the water. It was weird because it looks really old. It was marked as M Koester & Sons Bottling company of Appleton. Never heard of it before. I am guessing it has been in the lake for a long long time. We also got a big kick out of a pontoon next to us that had a train horn. When he left he lights it up and scared the crapola out of a bunch of people. It was really funny. He drove off and we couldn't see him but could hear the horn yet. Overall the music was great, Sun was great, the water was great. Another fun day on the water. See all the photos - Photo Gallery
