Cruising Considerations on Lake Pend Oreille







Our great friend Pam bought a boat lately which we lovingly call "Flaquita!" She is a 1965 cruiser boat -- vintage fun for all! Solstice we took her on a maiden voyage with friends Jan and Paula, enjoying high skies and light late into the evening. On the way we did some "fishing" and got the "catch of the night" -- a 180 lb. Jan-fish, hooking him right on the behind!

We took Flaquita out again just days later to explore the Pend Oreille River en route to the new Willows Resort for supper. A magnificent evening of nature, water, great food and belly-aching laughter! Thank goodness for our friend Timmy who was able to navigate us home in the dark...
