Put in at Dickey Bridge (Kelso area), went to downtown Fayetteville, 16 river miles. I can't say enough good things about my Minn Kota Maxxum 55 with Cabela's largest AGM battery, ran the thing the WHOLE way, sometimes back up the river, if my bride got hung or I wanted to put her back through the water again. I got home and my charger said it had 85% left, I find that hard to believe, but that is what it said, anyway I know the sucker will go a long way.

I work weekends and don't get to do this with my bride very often, but I drove the Gheenoe and let her fish, as you can see she had a good day. I might have cast my rod 10 minutes total today. Water temp at the Fayetteville takeout was 87 degrees


She was diagnosed with  Lupus 3 months ago, was the first time we had got out in the sun, the sunscreen the doctor recommended seemed to work.

That is a beautiful day on the water.

Prayers to your and your wife with her diagnosis.

What was the weight on that batery? Aren't they lighter then the Lead Acid's? I may try one of them this year.
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
