So, it seemed like we were the only ones who went to watch all you crazy boaters. We were on the blue/white cruiser and I was in orange pants waving right after you took off out of the marina. It was nice to see the Herbst's new Skater in action, too! Those #6's make it visible from MILES away! A couple of thoughts though...where were Grimmy and Predator? I hope they didn't show for good reason rather than bad. And only one boat seemed to have mechanical issues. The irony of that is we were usually the one breaking in our Skater and as we passed you in our cruiser, you were taking pics of our boat!!! :rollside: I guess a good looking boat is a good looking boat, right???
Jay (Photoglou), you passed us on the right and then headed to the dam and took on our wake like it was nothing! I wish I hadn't forgotten my camera!!!
I hope you all made it back home safely. Beautiful water and beautiful weather, I'm sure you had as good a time as we did.

Well, we were at full speed of, oh say, 23! :D We ended up at our lame marina party. Next time we won't be going to that thing. Anyway, you sound like you had a good time. I sure hope someone posts some pics...eventually.

You call that a WAKE???? Yes the water was flat which make it fast and fun The Herbst boys went by me as I was at 120 like I was standing still :cry: Hopefully Chris Aryes Poker runs west or Todd Taylor Jokers wild will post the picture of me looking backwards at the camera while you can see the Speedo at approx 114 I can't remember who took the picture right now...The weather was great too..... Did you guys make it to the dinner Sat night????
Hey Jay, it was nice hanging with ya for a little while. Too bad I couldn't party (or eat dinner) Saturday night, my stomach was killin me. Next time it will be on :coffeycup :D

It was a great time.
I think you were headed back in with your cruiser (was it a Sunseeker) when we were to the marina.
Nice meeting you Jay.
A very big thanks to Tim and Sheryll (Tunnel Vision) for the ride. It was worth leaving my boat at home to run so well all day in the Spectre :)

Yeah, Sunseeker, want to buy it?? It's for sale?? :D
The Spectre looked great on the water, Chris kept making me get the binoculars out to see what everyone was driving. I think he was wishing he had put the DCB in the water. :hammerhea
