If you're going to be stranded all by yourself anywhere on an Aqua Patio Pontoon Boat, I can think of no better place to be than in the middle of Hayden Lake during this wonderful fall. That's what happened to FB Friend Shirley Thagard at 10:30 this morning:
“So, beautiful fall weather continues in North Idaho. Spent the day putting the boat away but discovered the gas
gauge is not quite accurate, It's EMPTY before the needle gets to E. Had a wonderful time sitting in the middle of the lake in the sun, perfectly still water, looking at the brilliant colors spotting the surrounding mountains, waiting for someone to tow me to the dock. Thanks Raymond (fellow Hayden Lake Yacht Club member Steve Boots generously towed me in behind his beautiful yellow and white Cobalt)
