That has got to take a toll. Bada$$ none the less. And perlmudder running Ontario to West Palm??? holy hell that's a trip.

My coolest is way lamer than any of that. I had my second real boat on my first ever trip to the St. Lawrence up in the 1000 islands. I was friends with a few daughters of a family that had a much nicer Sea Ray and I had something to prove. Going around the outside of their 30ft's w/ my '85 Chaparral with throttles on the wood felt amazing. It was a blue sky 80 degree sunny July day and is etched in my memory. I was 22

Ran across lake Erie from Detroit to PIB with a small craft warning in my Velocity 260. Wave were 5-7 with swells much larger. It was cold, windy, and certainly wet. But we made it. We were a half an hour behind the Jet Express (they make an annual run from Ford Yacht club in Grosse Ile to PIB) people were falling over on the Jet Express, that will give you an idea of the conditions.... . I wouldn't do it again, but I can say I did it...........

I concur with Ratman.

Either the Bahamas trip I took a couple years ago in the Sea Ray or the run back across Pontchartrain 4 years ago in my Fountain with RB in that storm... A bunch of cats came out of the cove then turned around but we just nailed it. Broke both bolsters and bathroom door it was soooo rough but we ran between 90-110 the whole way!

I went for a ride with Bobby Saccenti in the first chief, First Mohican, in 3'-5's. It was an amazing experience to say the least!

Navigated for Reggie Fountain in the original Ohio Express in the Lake Ontario poker run in 3 to 5's.

Driving my own boat through Government Cut. Probably not a big deal to all you Miami/South FL dudes, but for me it was the crescendo of my boating life. For a kid from Chicago who, in 6th or 7th grade, watched Miami Vice religiously, to achieve something I NEVER thought would happen...damn...I get a high just thinking about it!
