I must have the best summer weekend schedule of anyone I know. Well, except for my buddies who have pretty much the same weekend schedule that I do. I spend the entire week preparing for Friday evening, where I will pack up the truck, tighten down my seadoo cover, hitch up the seadoo trailer, and head out on my 2 hour drive up to the summer campsite destination. I have a small set of friends that share the same passion for seadoo riding and camping that I do, so every year I look forward to a summer of good times relaxation at the lake.
Every weekend of the warm summer months (except for the occasional wedding that we have to attend) I get out of town with my camp gear all packed up, and my seadoo hooked up and covered ready for trailering. This is my favorite time of year, and it seems that every year I convince another one of my friends to buy a seadoo and join my growing gang of buddies who also spend their weekends camping and seadooing.
The campground that me and my buddies have chosen as this years permanent weekend spot is about a 2 hour drive away. That means that I can finish up work a half hour early on Friday, and barring any cottager traffic jams I make it up to the site in time to setup the tent and put the seadoo into the lake in time for a quick spin. This still gives us time to get supper started before dark. If we start the campfire at the same time, the timing works out so we always eat our first meal of the weekend by campfire light.
The first day of the weekend is when I get the whole mini-vacation started. First thing Saturday morning I usually get up by myself so I can get out on the lake just to do a tour and see what's new in the last week. I take a travel cup of coffee with me, and get on the seadoo at super low speed so I can do the rounds without disturbing too many of my neighbors with the high speed pwc driving by. It takes about an hour, but then I make my way back to the campsite and join the family for a typical camping big breakfast.
My seadoo ride on Saturday afternoon is definitely a different pace than my early morning trawl. I meet up with all my seadoo buddies and we head out for a combination of touring, visiting other campsites, and we inevitably take part in some watercraft games and races. Wave jumping another seadoo wake has to be my personal favorite. Although seadooing in a group is tons of fun, I don't want to fail to mention how important it is to keep your eyes open and follow some basic common sense and safety rules so your weekend isn't ruined with an unnecessary accident.
Sunday morning is a sleep in day, but I always manage to get out on the lake for a ride before we fire up the BBQ for a late lunch. As long as I get the seadoo out of the water before we put the grilled cheese sandwiches on the BBQ (yep, on the BBQ - my own invention!), it has time to dry out before I have to put the seadoo covers on ready to trailer home. Keeping my seadoo protected and covered is one of the biggest priorities for me, since this keep my watercraft in tip top shape for years of lake camping and seadooing. As sad as it is to go home on Sunday nights, I'm happy thinking that I'll be out again next Friday, ready to do it all over again!
