Time to Put the Aqua Jump Back in the Lake

It's June 7th and time to get the Aqua Jump back out in the lake. Each fall the Aqua Jump is brought in, deflated, cleaned, and stored indoors over the winter. Warm weather has arrived with no more chance of frost so it's time to put the Aqua Jump back in the water for this season's campers to enjoy. Not an easy project... but fun to watch.

First, they pushed the inflated Aqua Jump out in the water and then quickly got into the boat to go after it.


It was then pushed out into the swimming area.


When they got out there, they got the the weights ready...


...but while doing that the Aqua Jump floated away. (It was a breezy day.) So Aaron went to get it and brought it back.



Now the guys have to go below to hook the anchors to the hooks on the Aqua Jump.


Reinforcements coming. Izaac swims out to help.


Working below to anchor the Aqua Jump.


Putting the Blob into place



Keeping in contact with those below...



Needed more tools so Dan rowed back and got the tools, and


...they were handed down to Izaac below.


All hooked up. Now it's time to straighten it and anchor the Blob.


Moving it clockwise...


...a little too far. So...


...let's move it counter-clockwise.


Anchoring the Blob


...and it's all set for campers swim time!
