YEE HA! - Went boating on Saturday.
 

Saturday was a georgeous day, 75, sunny, mild breezes.

Got a bunch of OSO'ers together and hit the water.

Thanks guys, it was good to see all of you yesterday!

Below, Steve and Gordo:

Hmmm, what's going on here? :D

Gotta love the weather........Too bad about Cuda though.

I get a shot at driving the little rocket: 22 Velocity with a healthy small block.

Steve and I got 75.1 out of her yesterday, but she's got more in her.

What a wild ride. :D :eek:

That Homo Gordo called me and rubbed it in while he was out in the boat........It was about 35 and raining here all day................I hope he got a bad sunburn!!! :):)

Steve and I, again.

And again:

Russ, yes you do! It's been great! What happened to Cuda?????

TFLB, :p
Gordo tried, but I think he his hangover provided ample sun repellant. :D :D :D

Cuda said he blew a tranny...............hell I thought he liked women??????:confused: :confused:

Man, tough luck for Cuda. :(
That sucks! Sorry to hear.

Hey daze, Tow your boat here we can see how she handles hard water!

Hijackers!! This is nothing more than a cheap spin-off of my "22 Velocity" thread. I'm suing!!!:hothead: :hothead: ;)

Nick - I can't believe that you actually found time to look at the speedo. Or did you re-set the "max speed"?

Steve's looking for his beer, but forgot that he left it on the foredeck.

I gotta admit, that's funny! Guess I'll have to be more careful of my wording.:)

Nick, where did you go out from? We put in a Park Blvd.

mfb357/Troutly, the only thing hard water is good for is in my Dewars. :) I thinkk the boat would have a serious list on that 'white' water, you know, being on it's side and all.....:D

Chuck, I knew exactly what speed we were going when it said 60-something, but I had no clue whatsoever that we were above 70, because I became really busy, real quick, if you know what I mean ;) Yes, Steve reset the tattle-tale on the GPS and it wasn't until we slowed, we knew what she said. :eek:
My hands were pretty cramped-up after 15 minutes. :eek: :D

Cuda, we put in at Anclote State Park ramps. Not bad, but man what a current. If you quit blowing your trannies, they might just run better. :p :D
Sorry to hear about the break-down. :(

Yes, I've put in there before with my fishboat. I had to do a crash landing to get to the dock.:)

The funny part is, that at that ramp, there's a hotdog vendor and about a dozen older folks hanging out in their lawn chairs, just watching the entertainment. It can get ugly.

I saw a guy dry launch his boat there.:eek: :rolleyes:

I know EXACTLY what you mean! :eek:
I don't think that I lasted any longer than that myself. That head-on shot in post #6 really shows the water ski grafted to the bottom of the boat...

Eeer all these boating post make me want to go boating so bad, cold weather sucks I hate winter!!

I figured you would, Chuck. :)

I'm sure it, does Blake.

Cuda, dry-launching, Hmmm...I'm not familiar with that technique. :D :D :D

Nicky whats up dude, Thanks for calling me, just kinding. Water looks good over there, should be over for GASPARILLA, did I spell that right?????????

Hey Mike!!!!!
Good to see you around. Yep, that's how it's spelled...Cool, it's always a CRAZY fun time.

Brings lots of beeds. :D :eek: ;)

Daze - Good to see you guy's again. We will have to do it again. Dave

This one is going to be awesome, 100th anniversary. :eek:

We have no details yet on our whereabouts duting the festival....I would highly NOT recommend bringing your boat. Try to get on someone else's if at all possible, because I know of tons of horror stories.

Oh ya, did I mention to bring beeds! :D :D
