I spent the morning studying the winch and realizing it is not what I want.
Then I launched the boat.  What an easy job going down hill.  The boat really launched itself.  Then I roped over the float and attached it to the dock.  I tried out the boat and then later went fishing, twice.

. The fish are there. I lost two perch, one just as I lifted the nice perch into the boat. The jig popped out so fast it slammed me on the top of the head. But I managed one perch and one pumpkinseed for tomorrow's lunch along with the last of the frozen fish from last season. I tried my first fish selfie and Elizabeth took on of me in the boat. Very good to be back on the water. And now the first fire of the season.
