All I can say is, if you weren't there...you missed a GREAT time. It was nice to see all of the folks we love to spend time with at the Pond. Including alot of New friends. ALL very cool people. The hardware was nice (so were the boobies!)
Jeff, well all I can say is "Finally!" Very nice to meet you and to get introduced to your Black Biotch. Outstanding piece of machinery, clean as they get!
We spent alot of time with the whole gang trying to say hi to as many as we could, if we missed anyone, well we will have to get there again....soon, sorry!
Rain....YOU SUCK!! But that is why they make tops for boats. We left the Pond and within 5 minutes, downpour.
Not a real big deal, we still cruised back on a flat lake to the Bay at 40 mph (with the top up). I navigated back using only the tabs to steer the boat. That was real cool. The rain let up just before we got back, so we dropped the top and got back under cover without getting wet! Ten minutes later, it started to rain again. Perfect timing. Left the top up to dry out, we should be good by the weekend!
Glad everyone enjoyed the eats! You are welcome!
Thanks everyone for the GREAT time....we'll see how much damage we can do in the Bay in a couple of weeks!

P.S. Ask Pete if he knows where the River Edge is? Maybe he will be make that trip .... it won't to far for him. Better yet tell him I will pick him up if there is any bad weather on the horizon .... my "black biotch" isn't scared of a little rain.
Just Kidd'in Pete ..... sorry you couldn't make the trip.
I'm going thru the GPS manual and working on finding the River Edge way point, given some time I am hopping to be able to make the trip over. I hear they have chitters there.
As far as the Pondevous,,,, No excuses (sorry Rip
), just a decision to pass. No offense to anyone, just had no desire to get caught up in the forecasted weather chit. May be a little anal about the Biotch, but that's just how it is. Sounds like a good time was had by all, sorry I missed the DJtoon, I heard he was flying the right colors. Had I known that Ginger could dig like that I might have left the shovel at home and made the run down.

Just for you Bird,
A Rock Star pic from saturday July 19th at AquaPalooza @ Welsey Island State Park in Alexandria Bay sponsored by Hutchinsons, the local Sea Ray dealer.
The two Biotches, the cute one, and the Black Nasty one.

Nice Pete! Got to be the coolest boat paint job out there.
Mike, $12/foot???????? WTF??????? Winter storage come with that price??
We'll be over for the fireworks on saturday if the lake/rain cooperate. Not looking so great right now.
Pachanga Mike and Laurie, Bruce and Sue, and the Birds just got back from a short trip up the Rideau. Nice for the most part but we battled rain all the way back to the Bay on Thursday.
Drying the boat today, lots of work to do. Back in the water tomorrow.
