Yeah Dave...should be fun!! Ya never know, they might even stop in flight for a peruse (I call it being nosey!)...reason I'm getting the boat is, mostly, ALWAYS at the wrong side of the lake where the action takes place...you know the scene!..plus the main birds tend to fly across the lake instead of beside it!!! Complete novice at boats etc etc...so, it will be interesting!!!...ya might even hear the splash...glug glug!
