Very Nice Mike, glad to see you made it out. I was starting to think you enjoyed working on the boat more than floating it. Oh well, I'm looking forward to catching you out on Perry one of these days.

Who's boat is that, in the background?

Dunno. The wind was up on Sunday, and this particular lake turns into The Poseidon Adventure if the wind gets above ~15mph. It was gusting to over 30 :shock:

. We said, "Damn the torpedoes, we're going boating."

Anyway, boats were gathering anywhere they could find a calm patch. This little cove was amazingly calm considering the wind, but we had to share it with about 3 other boats. No problem, everyone was considerate, kept their distance, and kept the music down

Why do I have a feeling that if Mike and TX were ever in the same cove there would be a problem.

There's already 5 in the magazine, so you'll need at least 12...

I AM kidding, of course. Although we dislike other people blaring their music in a cove when we were there first, I would never say anything to them. It's all part of the deal when you boat. I just try to encourage consideration for others.

A single 1-oz. rifled slug through the lower hull ought to do it

.

Cool boat, though

. Somebody needs to tell them their ball mount's an inch low :mrgreen:

I thought you would like that one. Glad you are finally enjoying $4.00+ boat gas with the rest of us.

Actually the boat's still full of gas that I bought last August. I don't remember how much it was at the time, but it was a lot less than it is now and I burned less than 1/4 tank Sunday
