A couple days ago I ran into Billy D from Rainy Lake Houseboats. I couldn’t help but think of the times I’ve spent on one of his floating condo’s over the years. From personal family vacations, and film shoots to In Depth Outdoors fishing excursions!! Burning steaks on the Grill or just relaxing on your own private island within the vastness of Voyageurs National Park. Though I’m a true blue Ice fishing finatic I’ll admit the thoughts of floating in a hot tub as we tour the wonders of Rainy Lake always brings a little smile to my face. Maybe it is a 7 day escape from the “Hustle and Bustle” of todays world that attracts people. Maybe it is the majestic “Blue Waters” that Hamms’s Beer made famous, or maybe it is the simplistic Granite formations and endless undeveloped shorelines we all like to explore. What I do know is that one of my fondest memories is the first time I was able to tour Rainy Lake from the top of the flybridge on one of Rainy Lakes Houseboats. My wife, daughter and I soaked in the hot tub watching the endless Pine studded islands pass by. The “Fishing Queen” sipped wine with James wife while the Great Oz of IDO proudly played captain as he proudly navigated our cruiser through the Brule Narrows. For guys that have sipped a morning coffee as the morning steam rises off the lake, or ladies that have spent a lazy afernoon reading a book while floating an umbrella in a drink; There needs no further explanation. There are things in life that the outdoorsman in us all must experience, and this certainly is one of them.
