Fun in Shasta


This past week the fam set out on one of our adventures, this time to Lake Shasta. We ended up renting a houseboat for a for a few days and boy was it a learning experience! Inspired by Carrie and Rad's stuff, thought I'd share my knowledge with all of you on HOW TO HOUSE BOAT!
ARRRG YE MATIES! LESSON 1: DRIVE A HOUSEBOAT WITH THE ACCELERATOR JAMMED IN FULL THROTTLE.


"OH NO, it's just like that movie Speed, and I'm Keanu Reeves!"
"I can't stop this houseboat."


( Most houseboats go about 5 knots (~6mph))
"DEAR GOD"
"That houseboat is going to hit that duck."
'HOLD ON BUDDY"




"STOP THIS HOUSEBOAT"
"JUDO-"
"CHOP!"






"You folks enjoy your day."

Regardless, this issue happened again later that week, but our James Bond of mechanics didn't show up until about 2 hours after we crashed into the docks.

We also celebrated my Grandfather's birthday, Happy Birthday Grandpa!
