Thankfully, most backed down first before my boat was beat to death.

Damage report to Pinkie:
8 missing screws popped from the rubrail.
Upper dash for gauges is loose again.
Toilet seat is off again.
Steering wheel folded over like a taco from a 2-story drop in to a hole.
Cabin door is loose.
1 seasick passenger and sore muscles for the rest of the crew.
I will have some tightening of all screws to do and check the motor mounts as the pounding was heavy. Mechanically she is sound and ready to go another round. A good time was had by all. I saw many a smiling face given the bleak conditions. Congratulations on a fabulous run Tank. And Happy Belated Birthday - Libra Bro.

But you have to admit that is funny. I actually took a picture of a birthday card my wife had to get that one. It kinda reminded me of someone.

Last One.
Tank you were skying when we first left the marina. It was an awsome sight.
I would have gotten a few pics but Hugh's competitive side couldn't let off the throttles.
