But as far as the West aint got nothing like this...oh how untrue. The Sacramento/San Joaquin River Delta is huge, tree lined, and over 1000 miles of rivers, channels, canals, sloughs, just a buttload of water. With old swing span, center lift and bastille drawbridges, waterfront developments, funky little marina developments and "blue collar yacht clubs". It is nothing like the Colorado River scene which is good and bad. Lots of water, not many babes and water is not quite as clean. But it is going to be almost 90 degrees out there today...

'But as far as the West aint got nothing like this...oh how untrue'
Dr. Eagle
I just got finished pulling my 'other' boat from the Lower Potomac. The Lower Potomac waterway was rated #5 of the top waterskiing waterways (read that in waterski mag last year) in the U.S.;
Bullshit.
Too much traffic, too much trash, too big so even a light wind can skunk your jeboat or ski trip. I would suppose the waterways you speak of are similar.
The water in the video was glass and absolutely desolate. I was really kidding about the water out west. Seen a little of it and some is very nice, just pullin you West Coast guys chain for the beating we are takin on the cold weather here.
I want to go to Moomaw lake with Bill. Now that sounds like some 'ski land'

Loved the video. Just the thing before heading to bed at 234am! Working late.
Thank goodness for broadband.

Ripped from the sandbar topic 'Just wondering about this'
Drinkin Odouls like a couple of fools , trying not to get drunk while I'm skiing ......after awhile.... loosing my smile , the wetsuit's no place for peeing
Moo, buddie, didnt know you were so talented. Nice pros.
Got to work nites all this week. Next week indicates warm enough to do it again. See you been out couple of times since. I hit the lower potomac and burned 20 gallons few days ago, uncommonly smooth, went from national airport to tims at almost WOT.

Bunch of Doolies at the Swamp with Moo. Glassy water and talk about a beautifull sunset!!! And then the bright moon on a relatively warm, clear sky.
Another reason Rat didnt go today.
#57 My boat has reached its sun radiation limit for the year.
