Whose Skater? Heard a JS almost hit him today Wasn't sure if jk got his in, I didn't think he would be running this far back. Also heard the queen was out in the Hustler, must have parked the pontoon in the afternoon.

I'll be out in a JS tomorrow afternoon blasting around the river. From what I hear this one runs almost 90mph Gonna be a bunch of us running around. At this rate I might as well shrink wrap the velocity. Having too much fun in other boats

Don't think it was JK in the skater , Bald head but unless he gained like 100 lbs it was someone else. I went out with a red J S today. Must have been a race boat , full cage , they got suited up and helmeted up and strapped in!

Made a run with Billy and Chuck yesterday. I went in Jones Inlet/Freeport (Bracco's) and they went to Fire Island. Too bad I didn't have enough fuel cause it was an unbelievable day to run the ocean! Billy and Chuck said they were in some 15 ft. swells but,,,,I think the BS meter was on 10. I'd give it solid 4-5's with the occaisonal 6-7'. I believe there may have been a small craft advisory yesterday?? It was flat around the hook but once we got half way across the swells started picking up from due South. Jones Inlet had swells breaking in the shoals on both sides and we had to make a run for it between the breakers.

We got back around 4 pm and stopped over at the Island to go swimming and relax. Ran into a bunch of people who saw us leave earlier in the day. It was the epitome of Summer yesterday, I'm stoked and wanna do it over again.

So hunster how did the pics turn out? Right after you left the cops started hasseling us. At first he asked for our "race" permit. aaahhh, we're not having a race

Too many boats on the river today to really open it up. Gotta say, WHAT A WILD RIDE!!!

What about the 30+ sailboats I had to manuver thru going down the river this afternoon? Do you think they had a regatta permit?

Lookin forward to seeing the pics.

Mr. V, I wonder if I can charge back my water pump and 30 minutes labor to Navoo?

You'd have a better chance seeing me put 300hours on the Velocity this season.

The skiffs are cool, the boat I was in had a very worked 350 with a HUGE cam. Running 5500rpm the thing SNAPS to 7000rpm in the blink of an eye. Never seen that kind of acceleration in a boat before. I can't wait to do it again

The cops were just busting balls. They wrote one ticket for the owner not having his license, there were 100' from the owners dock and the cop said "I'm not going to your house." Nailed another for not having the proper fire extinguishers. Almost want to sell the little cat and get a js.....almost....

Yeah there was 3 jersey speed skiffs out in the river running together. I heard of them doing that before. They all were pleasure boats , no cages , so I guess just the big numbers on the sides of the hull got the marine police all nervous.

Some pics of Mr V (js fever) and the skiffs today. I have higher res real large files, if they want them just pm me
