Santa Barbara Lunch Run (Sort Of)
 

Met up with Pool Whore at the ramp. A 34' magic came in and said it was 8 footers out there! So we left the boats at the ramp and drove over to the beach to peek out. Saw a couple fishing boats go out and turn around and come back in.

Got back to the ramp and everyone else showed up:

We decided to launch the boats and see how the water was:

I decided it was a little too big to sea trial the Pantera so Pool Whore (Hugh) was nice enough to let us tag along with him.

Water was pretty snotty and we were sitting a couple miles out waiting for everyone to catch up. Ran for a while and then one of the boats had a break down so we sat with him for a while. A couple other things happened too but I won't mention them here! :eek: :drool: :D

We all then headed back to Ventura for lunch instead of SB.

We did help clean the boat even though it may look like Hugh did all the work! :D

Ended up taking the Pantera out for a sea trial in Long Beach. It actually ran very strong and was a lot of fun. There was a boat show going on in the marina and convention center so we checked it out. I ended up buying a brand new 25 Outlaw!
