Here is an e-mail and pics I got from Angela, my water skiing buddy. She has a small Mastercraft......

What an exciting weekend at Fairview! First there was Aquapalooza on Saturday, on Sunday I skied, then hunted for beach glass with my dad on the Maryland side, and, finally, got caught in a freak storm while we were coming back across the river.... Good thing my dad was driving, otherwise I might be boatless. Little ski boats aren't made for ocean-like swells washing over the bow. Repeatedly. It was all very exciting--and no one was hurt. (And Po was on shore with Nana the whole time.)The fireman in the news story downplays it a bit. It was a mess for more than a "few minutes." Or maybe it seemed that way because Dad and I were outrunning one storm but were side-swiped by another. In a little ski boat. Taking on LOTS of water. In wind, rain, and swells.But my dad is an excellent driver, so we made it through the storm in one piece.My photos of the boats washed up on the beach are attached. You can see the big boats that were still beached an hour after the storm. BoatUS pulled one big one off the beach, and the fine citizens of Fairview pushed the other one off the beach. The rest--those in the photos--were still beached when Po and I left at 7pm.I will probably get other photos from other people later. ~Ang * )

Did you figure out your overheating problem?
