I think it is safe to say that Marissa totally LOVED being on the boat! In case you have never been to Lake Jocassee, I have to tell you how beautiful this lake was. There are lots of little coves that you can pull into. The lake is very clear. It is so big that we were able to let Marissa drive the boat with NO FEAR of her hitting ANYTHING! I hope that she will always have this love of the water and more importantly, the confidence to do something new and a little bit scary, like drive a boat! :)
