Two well built vessels...

Need I say more. I am a lucky man.

Are they coast-guard-approved flotation devices?

Very nice. Let's see more wives, girlfriends, boyfriends...etc. They're the ones who put up with us!

Excellent point. My wife would prefer a more leisure type boat as she doesn't really ski. She's done well to learn to get the boat off the trailer and back on. Besides that she takes care of the food, towels, etc, so that my son and I can focus on the good stuff! And she puts up with me putting her pic on the web (so be nice please).

Let's hear from the rest of you.

cmon nate, thats a mild response for a post captioned two well built vessels. you get what you ask for. i was going to ask how well she appreciates the motor box

It�s all good fun. Maybe at the next reunion they can have two �best in class� categories.

Chill, keep it the way you got it..I can't hardly leave the dock w/o the wife and boys to go a long..and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Mrs. Dude is jealous of the matching bag.

I was smart enough to get permission before posting. As for the bag, that was a tough one for her...should it match the boat or the swim suit? Decisions, decisions - what's a girl to do?

   Just back from the lake,almost missed this one!Props to you Chill99 for being proud to display your wife.Seems like everyone on this site has a significant other they are proud of.I had to go back a second time to see the bag as well(hey,I'm only human).
   Thanks for the compliments on the family,Ken.You have a lovely wife as well.Wish we could have spent some time with you on Sunday at the reunion.I knew you'd take a shot from someone about the'boyfriend'comment,must have been that belt you were wearing in that other thread
   Maybe we need to add a "wife" section to the diaries.

Actually, she's more of a rider / observer. She tried the board a couple of times, but it didn't go well. She was successful on a pair of skis. And absolutely no problem on the tube.    I just got married a little over a year ago and until I bought this boat, she had only been on a boat once before. She's content just to be out with us, soaking up the sun.

I bought my first boat before I had a girlfriend, wife, house, or even a car (I had an apartment and company car at the time). Going to the river with friends comprised the vast majority of our first zillion dates. So my wife realized that I came with a boat...part of the deal. She's always been good about it. Even endorsed getting the second boat. She had skied once before she met me and became quite proficient on one ski in the course of our dating. She now comes along for the ride frequently and will drive for me, although it isnt her favorite thing to do. I don't ask her to pull me barefooting any more, why push it, but an occasional slalom run is ok.



Here we are enjoying a leisurely cruise in the Tique. Driving and photography, compliments of the kiddies.

Here is my beautiful wife with our dog and me in the background. They make a pretty good boating crew. Meredith doesn't board but like to hang out on the boat and has been a good sport about it.

Very nice! That's it, we need a section of this website dedicated to wives, girlfriends, boyfiends, pets, etc. Too many great pictures are scattered into too many threads. It will be a diary for significant others, except not for sale. Come on Keith, let's get on this.

Jon: Looks as tho the wife is way more interested in your skiing that the dog. Our dog won't go near the boat or water.
