What a phenomenal weekend (but long as hell) on the water. First off, Martinez was a blast, with a bunch of ***boat peeps out there. AvengerBabe (total hottie BTW...) Moneysucker, Mandelon, GrapeApe and others were all out there partying in style. Weather was flat out amazing, and as is the norm, we hit the sandbar hard! Clearlake during the afterhours was absolutely amazing as well. We met a ton of new great friends (Scotty, Dale, Gill, Nate-Dogg, Mike etc....) that we will be hanging with a lot in the coming months. Scotty has the craziest golf cart I have ever been in, and is a big reason I want to get a damn Rhino now!
Here are some pics of the Sandbar on Saturday and Sunday...

And some of ClearLake in the PM hours...

The pics pretty much show how humid it was... It was the first time we have ever not filled the boat, but filled the water behind the boat with folks...
After the weekend in Martinez, we towed the boat home and went out on the bay for Tuesday's 4th of July festivities. I have lived here for 10+ years and had zero idea that the party was that huge. 625,000+ people were in the Mission Bay/Pacific Beach area on Tueday. Frickin crazy! We pulled up to a beach that had thousands of people, no stereos... So, when we rolled up to the beach cranking out "Hot In Here" the entire crowd erupted. David, one of the folks here at Trident and Grape Ape who joined us again had staked out a spot for us on the beach so we already had a basecamp established amidst the chaos, but then as luck would have it, it got a lot better than even that...
Right next to him, and I mean right next to him was a very good buddy of Craig's and mine from the Teams who had set up their EZ up the night before. So, we not only rolled up to our own tent, but also about 20 Navy buddies with a whole pile of extremely, ferociously hot women with them. So... instant party, just add music. Which we did with aplomb. We then proceeded to take 5mph tours of the entire beach (at about 20 feet from the shoreline) with all of our buddies on board. Rocking the beach. Everyone had a phenomenal time, and I remembered quickly what a great group of folks my old teammates were, and how proud I am to be part of that whole community.
Once the sun went down, everything went off the hook. We had skipped out to go to a nearby house party for an hour or so, and when we came back it was growing dusk, and again there was this huge party with no music... Again, we fixed the problem, but this time with the party lights strobing away and some John Digweed/Slacker jamming. The totally cool thing was, the hour long set intros with Pete Tong introducing the set, and then announcing that for the next two hours you would be hearing John Digweed and Slacker. The crowd absolutely erupted! We sat there for a little while jamming and then pulled out and watched the fireworks from about 300 yards away!
(And yes, I know that in one pic the boat looks overloaded and unsafe... But with 9 of the 27 folks being SEALs who have done 3+ combat tours and their girlfriends, who do you kick off? Plus, we were literally 20 feet from shore the whole time in waist deep water. I am personally impressed that the boat doesn't show hardly any draft issues considering what I would call an overloaded condition. Still bobbing high and dry though, with complete control and steering.)
Amazing weekend, absolutely phenomenal 4th. Enjoy the pics...

So you had a boat-load of SEAL's and assorted Navy types onboard? Who on here would like to see what would've happened if some poor phuch would've bumped his Bayliner into the Trident? Or......some drunk insults one of the fine ladies on board?
We'd have us an award-winning internet video :)
Good times, Froggy. Good times!

This Boat Truly attracts a Party wherever I have been with Wes... The Sound System in my opinion blows away any that I have heard on the water.. When doing a Midnight Booze Cruise with the Multi Stage lights dancing to Tiesto, I felt like I was in a Plush Limo in Vegas... Goodtimes..

There are louder stereos out there to be sure. Ours is muffled heavily by women most of the time. :D

And the new front looks good as well! (Didn't want you to think it went unnoticed ;) ) Definately a big improvement over the old flat one!

Nice to see you are not afraid of a little salt in the water....
Wherver Wes parked the Trident there would be a small or large crowd....that thing sure does garner attention. The sound system simply rocks.

There isn't any orange life vests on this boat. We include 14 high quality Stearns vests, and I had some extras on board for the event...
Still had one chick wearing a dog life vest when we got pulled over though... ;)

P.S.....I have hung out at MB and PB for the fourth on a couple of occassions, and it can get absolutely insane! Looks like you had a great time...how was the boat clean up? :rollside:
BTW, do you know a SEAL by the name of Mike Lumpkin? He is a life long friend of mine, and I just hadn't heard from him in a while. I know his last mission was in Afganistan, I'd just like to know if he's safe!

Looks like you had a great time...how was the boat clean up? :rollside:
Usually, a salt-water dunking isn't that big of a deal. Hose it out, clean it up, flush the motor etc... This time was horrible though.
Chicks were watering each other down with the sprayer (translation: Everything on the boat was covered in bay water) and EVERYTHING on the boat was sticky with salt water. Stereo buttons, speakers, seats, etc... Plus, with the volume of folks in and out of the boat, we had a couple of pounds of sand end up in the bottom. Took well over an hour to hose everything off and wipe it down. Fortunately, the boat is 100% waterproof, so just get out the hose and go to town.
Plus, everyone with us decided to go hook up with chicks, some with multiple chicks, so Audrey and I were solo on the cleanup. Ahhhhh.... youth.
What a great weekend. Those pics are surreal...

I was down around San Diego Bay over the weekend until Wed - Never made it over to Mission. We watched the fireworks from the water as well - great show. Great pics, SD Bay wasn't quite as busy as that.. :D

I'm surprised you haven't done the bayside 4th over the last 10 years... My brother use to live at a place that had the boardwalk wall at his back gate, and my sister use to live on the bayside waterfront off Santa Barbara... We'd walk from side to side daily on the 4th... Like Lightning said, Bay is a hoot on the 4th :)
