More likley: Recovering!

Would you believe most folks forgot their camera's and the only picture I got from anyone was this crappy one. We're in a sad state of affairs here in Hampton Roads...

Anyway awesome weekend and I just love the boat. Runs like a rocket, BTW that's what the newest edition of HotBoat says too. Top end is a pretty consistent 80+ irregardless of fuel load, but THE most impressive element has got to be hands down, the acceleration either from the hole or at cruise. I got the boat with about 2 hours on the meters and I put it away with around 9 on Sunday evening, so I'm not waisting anytime getting to know it well. Ask any of the HRPA boyz, when I took it out on a long run with them on Saturday I wasted no time in trying to find the operating envelope of the boat. 1-2 chop going, 2-4 returning across the bay. A couple of huge tug boat wakes (I just love those) and a little stick peggin' to boot. Definitely likes the chop more than the glassy stuff though.
Anyway, I'll try and have more pics after next weekend...

There was one other short MV clip taken from a digital, but I can't get it to load...

BTW, BillR I'm diggin' that avatar....

Make that two of us.

So Rick, you headed up this way any time soon? I still haven't splashed yet. What a weekend...had the family in and the prop isn't back yet so hopefully I will get some seat time this weekend, if the weather holds.

Yep, I have to agree, considering all the boats we had show up at our annual HRPA Spring Dust Off. But I think everyone was so psyched to be boating that cameras were simply overlooked.

We won't forget this weekend.

I "did" have the camera Sunday; but a certain new boat owner was awol.

Here is a pic from the cove. Sorry it is not very good. You took off and no one could catch you, I think the sticks may already be bent a little forward.

Nay-nay little rabbit. I was doin' what I told everyone I was doin' on Sunday. Takin' a trip with the wife across the big puddle. Besides, pics where you were at would've only been group shots on the beach....

BTW, send me some of those beach pics...

Larry I definitely want to make the trip up that way and may do so soon. I'm looking at a "scheduled" run up to the pits for a HRPA/RPBA beach BBQ Saturday May 15th as a way to really get the season going. I may venture up before then with a boat or two just for kicks and to say hey to the northern fella's. Some (down here) carry so much gas they're slow and heavy causing very low mpg compelling them to avoid long runs like this very often....
