there must be a few waves out there today....gotta love a south wind on this lake!

That was the 3rd time out Neil,and the wind was 25 mph out of the south in the afternoon.

I came across this...

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
351 AM EDT WED MAY 13 2009

.THE LAKE CHAMPLAIN OPEN WATERS FORECAST...

.TODAY...SOUTH WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS. WAVES LESS THAN 1 FOOT.

But, if this is incorrect and the wind was 25MPH out of the South I couldn't be happier because we ran my 13' jet boat WOT, 60MPH GPS the whole way to VT from Peru launch and back to the Turtle! Thing of mine is better in the rough than I thought! Thanks Tom! :drink:

Tom, give me a shout.............thinking the same Friday!

Neil the ride to the turtle was flat mid day.We were out till around 5pm and the lake had picked up a lot.The crap we're getting today was moving in.Let me know if you can make it to the Turtle Friday for a spin.

Jim I will call you when we get out there!

Thanks Tom nice seeing you guys also.

Some stills from the HD video camera.

you should have it out today to test it in the rough stuff :coolcowboy:

Tom thanks so much for the offer but I have a packed day tomorrow. I definately would love to take a spin and get some pictures of your rig. We'll be in touch!

Here's a picture I took between five and six last night... Not sure where you were boating?

Big Guy.......isn't that the farm pond in my backyard....not the broad lake!!!:D:D

I thought this was? :drink:

And you know, that ole' blind beagle of mine Bandit actually pulled better than that p.o.sh@t Scout did!!!:drink::drink:

Was out today in about 30 knot winds from the NW...

My guess is 4-5 footers... Like Parnell says... Speed is your friend, roughest ride in the dinghy yet but still managed trip digits, was really busy trying to make out kayaks through the whitecaps.

Started playing with trim tabs and so forth to adjust attitude with cross winds.

I would think that if your aim was real good you could put them right thru the tunnel! :eek:

I was out this afternoon on the St. Lawrence and the cross wind was a b!tch here as well, no kayakers here though, must be a green state (VT.) thing.

Quite the little project you have going, good to see it's working out for you. It is interesting to follow, to say the least.

Few pics from Sunday...turned out real nice weatherwise :drink:

A few more.....

More...

Youpppddddy fackin DO... :eek:

its probably because my boat is now ready for the water:eek:

Isn't that always the way... :D

seems to be!

You gotta roof. Whats the problem?

no windsheild wipers?

The speeds that rig runs I don't think they're necessary.

i know, but wouldnt it be comical to see a set on it, its just a dingy remember

Looks like Chicken Neck is selling...

interesting....car sales not going well this year?

My brother-in-law Dave LeClair (dieselstrng on the oso board) started his boating season taking second out of 4 in a pro body building show.

He can now eat sh!t and drink what he wants through the boating season.

Thanks Jimmy and Patty for coming out to support him!

Daves got issues! haha
tell him Andy said congrats.

No prob Big Guy. He did great. Missed by a hair(or a squealy judge)!!!

who's getting out sunday? i should be finished up my stereo install by friday night and hope to get out maybe saturday afternoon, but definately sunday for the first run of the year.

Stuck in Montreal this morning but I will try to go out this afternoon. More than likely try to go see Gardner down the Lake with the MTI.

If the weather holds we will be out on the Mut also...

Hope the weather holds out this weekend....i'm headed out to get my accounts mowed today.

We will be out today by 11. Just hangin out in the bay,then The turtle later.Tom

we made it over to Bare ASS Beach around 3 and just hung out there....my buddy bought Gregg's old boat Bootlegger and he put it in the water for teh first time. Boat looks great and seems to run great too.

Anyone going out on the lake Wednesday.The weather looks real nice.We should be out by noon.....:D

what boat is it?

We more than likely will be out on the Mut the whole family tomorrow afternoon.

Fountain 42 with a red line on it.

I did not know Greg sold it.

The 42 Fountain is named Gothcha.I think he had a couple Formula's before that.
