Rum & Coke, Crown & Coke, Gin & soda I'm there. It sounds like our own little Regatta in the making. I like the entrance fee.

A Regatta would be a blast! I would be very interested in setting something up. The yacht club at Pineview sponsors a light festival every summer about mid Aug. They drape their boats (mostly cruisers) with lights etc and cruise around the lake after dark. It is a ball, and we usually stay overnight. Anyway, it would be a festive time for a Regatta. I'll bring the Cap'n Morgan.

Hey Chase,

Was your previous boat a ... Chase? If so what color. I saw a blue with blue checkers on it at Pineview last summer. Any chance that was you?

Ours is a black 26'. It has been a great boat, never had a problem with it. It has the 454 mag mpi w/ a supercharger. Runs near 80 at Lake Powell. Not sure how long I will be able to run the Nordic w/the stock 496 HO. 60 to 65 mph just doesn't get it done.

It sounds like you've been infected with the speed disease too!

I'm sure we'll see you up there. We usually spend two weekends a month at Pineview. Congrats on the new boat, I'm sure it's a nice one!

I was up there Sunday and was amazed to see it still iced over
Probably gone by now with the nice weather but be the water may be slightly chilly...
Bring on the sun! We're up for the Nordic gathering

Ya, we drove by there 2 weeks ago on our way snowmobiling and it was melting off pretty good. Two weeks prior there were still people ice fishing out there. A week in the 70's and it will be about gone. Get the boats waxed up!

I'm shootin for a "post-storage" test this weekend at Pootah Lake if the weather holds. Gotta verify no glitches before the 600+ mile tow to Desert Storm.
Definately need to set up that regatta, & all hook up one day at Havasu for those going.

Where is "Pootah" Lake? Also have you done Desert Storm before? It sounds fun with all the high end boats and all, but I hear Havasu is a damn zoo. Guess i'm just getting old and a little lame.

Pootah a.k.a. Utah Lake. It's close & thawed & big, just a bit brown.
Never been for DS, but been many other times including spring break. Too many novices then, but I imagine DS is a little classier. I'm not worried about a $500K boat hitting me!

It's a zoo, but I like to go see the animals
