Spring 2026 Photos

Post by MnLakeBum »

Boating season for many is just a couple months away now so I thought I’d start a thread to post random pics. I’m in SW FL and yesterday I saw this and had to post it. It’s not everyday you see 3,000 hp hanging off the back.

Spring is close for sure, I have started making a list of things we need to do to the boat prior to Memorial Day. Here is a picture from late last season. Helps me to remember that spending all the time and money on the boat is worth it when you get the lake to yourself on a night with a sunset like this.

Beautiful! I always get excited for MN boating this time of year even though the ice won’t be off the lake until about mid April. I’m shopping for a boat lift for our newest water toy - a 16.5’ 1972 Whaler that we got last August.

There was a fresh layer of sleet on the roads this morning in Minnesota, and we still have maybe 8" of snow. Spring may be coming, but it's not here quite yet.
