Funny that with the exception of Rich, that's the crew we are coming to Tickfaw with!

And don't forget who drove the boat back the rest of the way after the camera work. Did BZ even drive his own boat that day? I know YOU had to dock it for him! Lol.

Yes that was the day, I was in my 30ff Superboat Y2k sit down
Boat, I think I stuffed it like 3 times that day, it was not fun
Thought my head came off on one of those stuffs, my girlfriend
Was crying wanted to turn around, but that would have been worse.
It we did have fun at the bars the rest of the day.Looking
foward to partying up there again.

yep...that was my first year of owning a performance boat, the 32 sunasation i still have. As I hit the lake coming out of Tickfaw the wind caught the bow and rolled it to starboard...I hit the tabs and started to head to sun buns but the GF eyes were big as saucers so I turned it around and docked at Prop Stop and had a "few" worm buckets..she was VERY happy after that LOL.

35 to 40 miles west to east and around 20-24 north to south. You will also be running Lake Maurepas too, which is around 14 miles at it's widest point I believe.
