It was a beautiful day out on the lake.
Today's log showed 40.8 miles - our longest
day's run to-date in Adeline. For much of
the trip we were able to cruise at 25 mph.
(Total fuel consumption was a mere 7.4 gal.)

Another excellent Adeline outing! We are
enjoying the ability to take this boat whereevr
we want by road. She trails easily at 70-mph
behind our 2008 Toyota Highlander.
