Sea conditions, thanks to all of the fishing/cruiser boats, were just enough to let us know it was going to be proving time. At 55 we were eating the water up like chop on a lake. 65 required small throttling. Quick, snappy responses. 75 was airing out nicely with no quircks. That was enough for today. In a bad mix of water it ran straight. It ran in circles. It runs exactly like it's big brother! Which, of course, is exactly like nothing else.
We hooked up with Kristen and Steve, stopped at Crown for ice and beer to fill that brand new AT cooler and headed to Jay and Suzanne's house to hit the water.
Off to the ocean and Pier 66 for lunch! Between the 2 of us barking orders at this poor guy in his new boat, all turned out well. He's ready for Richmond!!! We're arm wrestling to see who's driving.
See you guys there Friday. Save us a spot at the bar and the beers are on us!

No, Active Thunder won't. I will in my spare time which I have so much of

Look for these in the next few weeks. It just requires 2 pots of coffee and patience to upload.
Thanks for wanting to see more!!
