Eels Lake VI and VII - Two Works in Progress

Today we decided to take the pontoon boat out again and go the Eels Lake which has an excellent boat launch.

With all the problems we have had with the supposedly "overhauled" motor, Ron put the electric motor onto the boat just in case we ended up stranded with the motor deciding not to work in the middle of the lake.

The motor started after two tries and Ron let it idle while we set up the canopy and moved things around on the deck, but as soon as he tried to engage the motor it quit and from there it wouldn't even try to start.

It didn't surprise me that we would end up using the other motor; so I helped Ron get it set up and we were finally ready to go out.

We went the opposite direction than we usually go and found an inlet which Ron thought would have fish and I had some nice scenery to sketch.

About half an hour later we slowly headed back toward the dock. When we were in sight of the dock we saw that there were a number of boats lined up, so we when back through the first inlet with Ron finding a place to fish.

While we were waiting Ron caught two nice bass which just goes to show that you don't have to go far from the dock to catch fish.

I will post each of these sketches at a later date as more work on them is completed.
