Biz and her Boys: Speedy Gonzales

We felt like last year was the year of broken boats. We spent a LOT of time paddling with skis, and waisted a lot of time trying to fix things we had no idea how to fix... Which then turned into more money into our boat. So Dahlin decided we needed to upgrade. We found a good deal in Edmonton and thought it would be a perfect opportunity to go visit Alli and Stephen. So we loaded up our boat and headed up to Edmonton. Unfortunately a mere hour into our drive we realized it wasn't going to be quite as simple as we had envisioned. Someone flagged us down while driving up Deerfoot telling us something was flapping on our trailer. So we pulled over in the ikea parking lot and realized that our trailer was indeed broken. Worst news ever when you are on your way to trade your boat in.
we got on the phone and found a welder in hopes they could fix it. We did eventually find a guy, who so generously took two hours outta his day to try his best to fix our trailer. Soon enough we were off again, unfortunately by the time we reached Red Deer we had already lost 1 of the 3 screws he had used to secure the piece holding the "fixed" part together. Did I mention I had just gotten off a night shift and was suppose to be sleeping the whole way... Didn't happen! We inched our way to Edmonton and into the dealership. Obviously we were a little grumpy by this time, and the service was the WORST service we have ever received. If we hadn't just driven 7 hours with a broken trailer I am sure we would not have made the deal, but there was no way we were taking our boat home again. So we now own a newer Malibu waterski boat... It is seriously almost the exact same as the old one but newer. So hopefully this year we will be able to spend more time playing behind the boat and less time trying to fix it!
