Lake Macatawa, NW SIde


Rowing "African-Style" 

In early October our friend Matthew was in town from Uganda, Africa and was eager to try his hand at an adventure aboard Little Fish. Matthew grew up on an island in Lake Victoria, Uganda where his father was a fisherman. 


It was really cold and windy, but Matthew wasn't going to let that stop him. He and Ted launched the boat from the little park (which was closed for the season) across from the "Overflow" State Campground.






OK, so this WAS an adventure. Matthew soon switched to using one oar as he does when in Africa and turned to face the bow of the boat. He seemed much happier with this approach.


And for his most-challenging move . . . yes, he was standing and waving his arms!


Another successful adventure.

A Wedding Gift Boat 

There was no water time for this adventure, although Little Fish was right alongside Lake Macatawa in Holland, MI. The mission for this hot July adventure was to look good (check), to arrive on time (Ted made this happen early Saturday morning), and to hold all of the wedding gifts for the bride and groom. As you can see, Little Fish was up to the challenge!



The little flags read, "Let's Set Sail."


Congratulations John and Kalee!


It was certainly a day to remember . . .
