On Easter evening, the USS Enterprise, CVNX-88, encountered rough seas in Catmandoo Pond:  Thankfully, the heavy seas subsided, and the USS Enterprise headed toward port:  Just before sunset, the massive ship was seen heading under Catmandoo Bridge:  The 4-1/2 year-old captain successfully docked the ship:  (The "captain" lives on the property adjacent to ours.)

Great pics, Ken!
Glad to see the ice is completely off the pond.

Great to see those RC boats coming out to play now that the calendar is marching on.
The "young fella" seems to enjoy the boat. This is an example of family fun at the pond.
My pond still has about 3 ft of ice, so boating season is still only a dream for me.

Just out of curiousity how far does the remote work on that?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Ken, that's what it's all about. And, I don't mean the carrier.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

All,
Thanks for the great comments. This little boy, and our youngest grand daughter, really get a big kick out of the pond -- whether feeding the fish or catching them.
I've got about 30 winter trout left in the pond. They are really easy to catch and they put on quite a show when hooked. I'm thinking that I'm mainly going to let kids who are 10 and under take most of them out.
Cecil -- I don't know the range. The batteries were getting weak on the Enterprise (too much time in the bathtub according to the Captain's father). It was never more than about 25 feet from the remote control. But, I would expect a range of at least a couple of hundred feet. By the way, it does come with aircraft that it can lauch. Maybe you could use one of these to scare your GBHs.
Ken

Ken Thanks great minds think alike! I think it would be funny to put an alligator facade on one and direct it toward a GBH to see how it would react.

Very cool. This just further fuels my desire to buy an RC submarine and mount a waterproof wireless camera on it. hehe
