Who's on the water right now?

Silly question? Maybe... I was up all night last night workin on the boat, trying to figure out my no-WOT problem and I think I found it. So now after I've taken a five hour nap, it's killing me not being able to go test. The girls are out of town for a week on vacation, so this seems like the *perfect* opportunity to take it for a 'spin' (jet-boats are kinda cool that way ;) ). However, I have no interest in competing for lake-time with a bazillion idiots that are out there for the holiday weekend. In the motorcycle world my friends and I referred to this as 'amateur night', where all the half-drunk post-teen crazies are out on the streets - certainly no place to be on a bike. Being new to the boat world, I'm curious how busy the lake will be if I head out there within the next hour or two. I'm by myself, so it's not like it's too late in the day to get anything done. I just wanna drop it in and see if I've accomplished anything.

So, how busy do y'all think the lake's gonna be if I could make that boat hit the water between 7:30CST - about 9:00-ish when it's too dark to see well?

oh yeah, Lake Conroe, Texas...

My boat has been docked in a transient slip since 8 am this morning, I painted my trailer today and we are going out on the lake in about an hour in an attempt to view Milwaukee's fireworks ~from afar~ and for a taste of a boat in the water that is ready to go life.
Going out tomorrow night for Racine's fireworks, unlaunching the boat Sunday morning. We live downtown and are 2 minutes from the launch and marina. :cool:

Funny you should mention that - I was born and raised in Racine/Kenosha, and my parents had boats when I was a kid. Fireworks from the lake was one of my most favorite things to do. You'll see a unique show, that's for sure. Enjoy!

P.S. I decided not to go. I forgot that I have a few things to do before I go, and didn't feel like rushing through anything just so I could forget something else. Still curious what the lakes are like on a holiday weekend though...
