Bye-bye, ("first") baby, good-bye

We sold our boat last week. This is the last picture Matt took before she headed out of Bull Shoals Lake for good (well, for now - you never know) and on to another lake in Oklahoma. Sigh. I have been fighting this for two years now, and I finally gave in (to Matt) and agreed to list her on craigslist. Less than a week later she was gone. Why'd we do it? Well sadly, we don't have a whole lot of time to use it right now, but mainly we just decided it was time to sell while it still has good value. We'll have another one someday soon! In the meantime, we'll be mooching off our friends with boats (ahem, the Blackburns) and using the rental boats when they're available. Thanks for the memories (e.g. late-night dance parties, long rides to the dam and the lighthouse, an under-the-seat cooler that always kept our adult beverages cold, and a sweet stereo system that blasted the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Fergie, James Taylor, Justin Timberlake and Eminem). So long, old girl! We're gonna miss ya.

You know you guys are always welcome to bum a ride with us - God knows we bummed plenty from you in our pre-boat owner days. :) We are just looking forward to the time when you guys actually have time to go on the lake. You will againn someday, right? right? We miss ya!
