don't know for sure since we haven't been back since the reunion
but I think they shut down the area north of the bridge for waterfowl migration purposes around the 10th of Oct if you go, I would be interested to know what the water temps are |

I have been checking the weather daily. It looks like there might be a chance for wed mid to upper 70s with sun. I still need one more fix before I'm done.

No bling here. I was just making sure my Christmas lights worked before they go on the big tree in my front yard in another couple of months! Putting them on the boat is a lot easier (and warmer)! Anyone making any more trips to Clinton this year? I think the warm water area north of the bridge gets shut down to boats in 2 weeks. I bought oil, filter and RV/boat antifreeze today, getting ready for the inevitable. |

WOW,
I found out finally what the draw is to lake Clinton. With 81' Nautique and Stang guiding the way, we spent Sunday out on a very nice body of water, found some of the best skiing water all year, drank some beers in 90 degree water and finally left as the sun set.. Great day for sure. Nice way to end the boating season... Kids about cried when I told them they had to get out of the water hahaha... Spring and Fall tours will not be missed in 2010.. Thanks guys... Moj' |

Yeah, when I had my trailer made (Mike and I have the same brand trailer) the guy asked if I wanted those. I wanted them bad, but I had to draw the line somewhere. Mike's trailer looks SWEET rollin' down the road. Love the 18" wheels!
Believe me, I am looking for the next option to put on it. |

If I am not mistaken, I believe Mike's boat already had lights behind the wheels on his trailer. You boys will definitely have to step up your game with some serious bling to top that.

Tim did some real cool lighting on the boat. When Mike saw that he started getting some ideas for next year. I think I heard something about a lazer light show on the orange air. Tim, I think we are going to have to step up our game plan!!
Boat looked great with the wrap around lights! |

How about a little lake Clinton Night life!
Todd didn't bring the revolving disco ball this year so that opened the door for Tim and Pam to take center stage |

RJ....Great pictures!! Thanks for adding them. With the weather turning now, and the boating season winding down, its nice to look at these pictures and think what a good time we had just two short weeks ago. Can't wait until next year.
I have been telling my freinds we went boating in a hot tub |

I've been out of town for the last 10 days and I didn't have time to make changes before I had to leave, but I didn't like the size of the images or quality of the pics that I posted from Lake Clinton 09. So here's some hopefully better ones.

Man, I knew I'd miss out again this year.... Crap !!! Looks like you guys are really dialing it in each time.. That's fantastic... Looking forward to a spring event for sure !!
Might be getting the boat wet one more time, weather permitting on Sept 27th, Sunday... If it doesn't rain, we'll be there... If this late summer weather continues, it will be a for sure thing... Anyone interested, they can "show us the way"... Moj' |

We might have had the help of a few rollers there Mark but it did run the best it has all summer. Been a long road of tweaking but it's finally behaving. |

65' off ?!? That's a world record! Unless you were using a 100' rope or something....I think this is a typo? I've always wondered how the slalom wake is behind a 210 with all the unecessary weight out of it compared to the "2001" series. Anybody tried both? Looks like a great place for a fall get together with those warm temps. |

Like the idea of a heated lake. Steve see if you can get one of them big heaters installed at GL. Wish I was there Nautiquehunter would have loved to try that wake surfing.
Alan some great pics of your boat getting on top of the water it sure does pick it's bow up when you hit the gas. You can tell from the pictures everyone had a great time. |

If you're going through hell, keep going

RJ and Nicole - Great pics!! Thanks for posting on the site and on Snapfish. Thanks also for the cleaner. Now if I could only get Mike H to come over and clean my boat as well as he takes care of his, I would be set! Nice to meet you guys!
Alan, Dana, Todd, Renee - as always it was great to see you again. Sorry we haven't been able to make all of the Clinton trips this year, but I am glad this one worked out. What a great weekend all around! Thanks for tolerating the girls - jumping off your platform, dunking and splashing Dana, playing with Bodie, etc, etc, etc. Evans family, Chris & Maddie - It was great to meet you all. I am glad the kids had such a great time together! It makes it so much more enjoyable and relaxing when the kids have such a good time too. It was good to meet all of the other folks as well. I hope everyone had a safe trip back home. Tim L |

Thanks to all for including us. This was the best weekend of the year.
Gail has her HO Monza dialed in at 34 MPH and 65' off the tower on my 210. I will move the rope to the rear pylon next. We keep talking about the fun we had. I think I will go back this weekend air in the 70s and water in the 90s it should work out. We have room if anybody wants to join us. |

Sounds like a great time.
Alan, I'm hoping we're going to see you this weekend. Does your Hurricane have one of those old fashion syphon bilge pumps? |
