I didn't really know there was one thing like “boats” until I move to Minnesota. My closest reference was probably Andy Bernard from the office, so when I met the guy who had casually his sailboat who occupies a whole parking space in the basement of my first “pretty” apartment, I rolled my eyes.
Without stereotypes, I think it is sure to say that most Minnesotans love to be on the water. Above all, when it is on a boat, or as they say, “Boh -t”. As soon as the ice melts the spring, everyone and their mother run to get their platform so that they can get on the water, even if it is only 45 degrees. It is the beauty of living in a state with such a short summer, no one takes a single sunny day for acquired.
Although we are new in the life of the lake, we like to get our summer navigation solution when we have the opportunity.
My family and I recently took the waters of Lake Minnetonka with not a single minnestan on board and guess what?! We had fun and with just a little planning, I was able to give my family this real experience of Lake Minnesota, with a magnificent sunset, Happy Hour beers and calm moments. Do not get more of the minnesotan than that.
If you are new on the Lake Life stage, we have a lot of resources to get the most out of your time on one of our superb 10,000 lakes before turning into 10,000 skating rinks.
Tip one: Play crochet and go out on the water on Friday! The lake is calm and you can navigate without having to dodge too much traffic.
Tip two: Rent with a renowned seller. Bring the lake with confidence knowing that you have a boat that is in working order and equipped with everything you need (that is to say a sufficient number of life jackets, PFD, ropes, pumping, etc.) The good supplier should make you feel confident and prepared when you head for the day!
Take three: Plan your time! There are a lot of things you can do on the lake and it is nice to make an inventory of what your guests would like to do to make the most of your time on the boat. My brother wanted to make a stand at the stand at Maynard to have a drink (his first time in a bar of which his friends often spoke) and my father wanted time to fish with August. As for me, I wanted to admire all the beautiful properties along the shores of Wayzata Bay and more.
Tip four: Prepare a lunch! Preferably, which travels well and can be consumed without using utensils. There is nothing like a pontoon picnic and the one I made for my family was a total success. Even in August entered the wand action.
Five tip: Do not be afraid to dock and explore what is happening in the neighborhoods around the lake. One of my favorite destinations to visit outside cities: Excelsior. Have your boat in the Excelsior bay and take a Licks ice cream or a sushi roll at Yumi.
Six tip: Check Discovery.com For everything you need to put the navigation of pleasure on your task list before the end of the summer.
Only a few more weeks to enjoy these beautiful days.
