Thanks HF. We really enjoyed meeting you as well. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, I got held up in copper canyon on the Sea Doo . It was hot, but as you mentioned very light crowd in my opinion. Thanks for your hospitality and I hope we get the chance to meet up again. I will also post some pictures as soon as i figure out were I packed my camera.

A few pics of our weekend...

The Capt (don't ask me what's going on with the floopy hat)

And the kids. Our daughter is on the right (starboard). The other two are her friends.

A long time friend of mine rented this house with his family and friends. Right on the river and with a private launch ramp I was able to use on Friday WOOOHOO !!

The girls love riding in the bow. I was able to open it up on a few calm sections. Hit about 49mph and maybe 0.00000001 hours per gal.



Pary Heat (Havasu) pulled along side at one point to let me know we were coming to a no tow zone. I had already known about the zone and was in the process of pulling in the tow-ee's.

oh-uh,,, just called away for work. I'll post a few more in a bit.

What's wrong with your people! They should know better than that.

Nice pics thus far...keep 'em coming when work isn't bothering you.

ZOINKS!! I hate it when I'm unexpectedly pulled into a VPs office and he starts out with 'I've been contacted by our legal team, and I was requested by our company lawyer....'

Gives a guy a heart attack!

OK, back to my post...

We have determined that we do not like to beach the boat anymore. In the past, I've always tried to find a sandy beach to get on, but our kids have never liked getting off the boat. So now I've learned to just find a quite part of the cove, drop anchor and float around.




BoatingFamily1 and his crew dropped anchor with us. We got a bit tangled, but nothing serious.

I'm not sure which kids were who's, but this little guy in the red lifevest was such a cutie. He was just floating around, dog paddeling, having a good 'ol time. All the kids were very friendly and seemed to be having a good time.

Lately I've been knocking myself out trying to get better at fishing. Little did I know, you only have to drop a net in the water and they swim right in.

The girls enjoying the Big Mable

On the second day, I talked the girls into wakeskating without the boots. Got up right-a-way and they liked it much better. BTW, one of the friends was a first timer for the wakeboard/skate, and she was able to get right up. When we got home, I was teasing our son that his sister and friends are getting better than him.




That's all I got.

That looks more like terror on the left than enjoyment!

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait until my TRL trip next week.

Very nice pictures indeed.



I did notice that the bimini was mounted inside the boat before I saw your other post about biminis. I would prefer that that be outside of the boat so that I'm not always bumping into it or scratching up my elbow.

That's what I don't like about how it's mounted.
Not that we bump into it, but the posts would bang on the windshied frame. You can see in the picture that I wrapped some padding around the bimini posts where they contact the W/S frame. That solved the problem.

I noticed on later models of my boat, they mounted the bimini to the top of the W/S frame instead of inside like mine.

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.
