The sun is out, the birds are chirping, and that “I need to be on a boat” itch is getting real!! If you’ve been staring at your trailer with longing eyes, we have some news for you.

While most of us were busy debating if it was finally safe to put away the heavy parkas, Eddie Mindt was already on the move. He was out at the Fort Peck Marina bay, playing a high-stakes game of “icebreaker” to clear the way for the rest of us.

Thanks to Eddie’s hard work, the bay is opening up just in time to soak in this gorgeous weather from the best seat in the house—the captain’s chair.

This is why you should head to Fort Peck right now…

• Early Access: Be among the first to get your hull wet this season.
• Perfect Temps: This “beautiful weather” window is prime for cruising without the mid-summer scorch.
• The Marina Vibe: There’s nothing quite like the energy of the docks when the ice finally clears.

Don’t let your boat stay lonely!

Regardless of what your plan is at Fort Peck, the path is being cleared as we speak. Dust off the life jackets, double-check the drain plug (seriously, check it), and head down to the Marina.

The water is calling, and thanks to Eddie, the ice is no longer an excuse!
