Made it to the lake today

 I finally made it back to the lake today. I launched from Longbow and followed a couple of pontoon boats part way out to the main lake. They both stopped about halfway at a flat beach area.

 It was remarkably smooth for most of the way out the channel towards the lake. It was overcast, but not really any wind.

 The lake was a bit more churned up from boat traffic, but still wasn't real bad. I ran the boat all the way to the north end and back.

I parked here for a little while and got wet. This cove has a nice sandy bottom .

New steps for the porch

 I had started the step replacement yesterday and finished it up today after work. The new ones are a lot more solid feeling than the old ones were.

Most of the reasons are visible here. The boards were getting a bit rough and warped.
