The weather started out nice but about mid afternoon the weather became very stormy. This last weekend was Free Fishing Weekend in Wisconsin, which means you didn't need a fishing license to fish. The fish were biting pretty good all weekend, most were catching sunfish and a few catfish. We are in the process of removing carpet off the boat and repainting the deck while some boaters fished with their kids from the docks and others were doing maintenance to their boats. On Sunday afternoon a nasty storm came in and produced high winds, heavy rain, hail, and lightning. The storm was strong enough that even the fish were taking cover.
The storm didn't stop the diehard houseboaters from doing their maintenance duties, like this guy powerwashing his boat. 
The storm didn't stop some of the fisherman from trying to catch the big one even though they are practically holding a lightning rod.
The storm was successful in stopping us from doing our maintenance duties as we had planned to do some painting but that is for another day so we turned the afternoon into cocktail hour and watched everyone else do their thing. The sky did eventually clear and it turned out to be a decent afternoon.
Please continue to follow Houseboating Excursions in the Mississippi River Valley as we cruise and explore new destinations and provide more information. Help support our 2010 campaign and stop the Invaders: Don't Move Firewood and Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers.
