Hold the lame excuses. As the originator / lead man, if you schedule one of these Poo Poo-ezvous you are obliged to attend regardless.

So....Crossing the Ocean (Lake Ontario seemed like the angry Bearing Sea) on Friday early evening and catching a BIG wave to surf my 10,000lb. rig into the Pond to meet all of the Pond folk.....Not too bad Saturday, a little windy, but turned out to be a good day. We needed to make sure we drank enough not to be come dehydrated. That wasn't a problem...And a real nice 1-2 foot rollers to get us back to the river Sunday.

Great company (missed you who weren't there!), enjoyed hanging with the group, Mike and Lori, Bruce and Susie, Mike, Dave and Julie (of course) and Gina and Susan. Thanks for the warm welcome and the GREAT company. That's what boating is all about. Look forward to another trip SOON.

Oh, and thanks to the Purple Crew for the 1:00am wake-up call, and the 1:05am wake-up call, and the 1:15 am wake-up call.....If you were there, we wouldn't have retired early!!

Yup, gotta go with Pete on this. Dave and Gail made it on the worst of all of the days. 5P, you wussed dude.

Went out on the lake early friday to give Axa a report. After taking one over the bow in the channel and burying my drives in the sand, I advised him to stay in the Bay. 5 hours later I get a call that he's outside the Pond waiting for a guide in through the freakin' surf. I was blown away!!! We got in just fine. Poor Gail was a bit frozen and damp but we warmed her up. Dave's like "Dude, it was great!!"

Glad you came down Axa, you're my offshore hero now. Can't call you a fair-weather boater!!!!

By the way, Axa used 49 gallons last year in perfect weather. Only used 56 this year in crappy weather. Pretty awesome. That thing sips gas!!

The weekend was great, glad thirdbird talked us into coming out............company and food were both great. Gail has shamed my wife into baking for our next outing, Thanks Gail!!!

ThirdBird

Hey Mike, what do you say we adopt Gail and make her a Pond Girl??? Get her out of that cold boathouse. Between Gail's baking and world-class potato salad and Lori's "beach kitchen", we'd be 300 pounds by the end of the summer.

sounds like a plan dave. if (axel) wants to come down we can keep him busy cleaning the boat decks he does agood job. what do you think

I never saw a response when I jumped in, so I thought it was a private party. I spent the weekend doing the river runs.....B'ville to Cayuga n' back, then the other way to Oneida the next day.
Let me know when/where the next one is. I will be on Seneca river the week of 7/4 with a week off to go find trouble.

Have trailer, will travel

Better be carefull there Bird, you'll be knocking off precious MPH's if you get up into that poundage.

BTW where are those pics of Axa??? Looking foreward to them, the Senator is known in many circles for his photogenic attributes.

Hey Bird...Remember, What happens in the Pond, STAYS in the Pond!!

If they had decided to show up, They would have seen it themselves!

PS: Don't forget, I had a camera too!!
