Today was the day that I was going to winterize the boat and when the wind had not picked up by 11 and the temps were pushing 60 the call was made to grab a quick run before the bird went into the oven.
Wish the boat was headed in the other direction as we were runing out of cove real quick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uClKm4gWMw

It was a great day here in Nebraksa as well. Took a few barefoot runs and actually spent about three hours on the lake. Good times in Nov.!!

Glad to see people are still out. We had a little wind, but got in the usual Thanksgiving foil runs after lunch. In the low 70's here in TX and the water is in the mid 60's still. I drysuited it because I wanted to check the new neck seal I hued in yesterday, otherwise it would still be springsuit time. I love this global warming nonsense. Lol

You make that look way too easy.
Wish I had the time to go out today. |

Hey good skiing! I'd ask for pics of your driver but that might be your offspring, so I'm not going to do that. Last year up here it was like 8 degrees on Thanksgiving. It was upper 50s and moderately sunny for us this year, water 44.
Harry - HW - PLBC. 
I can't figure out how people can slalom in the colder temps. 
He has 2 words for us. 
I shredded a few anchor sub bouys by driving deep in the back of the bay, oops. 
Practicing his wife's recent birthing position. BTW, had a boy 6 weeks ago. 
These are 60" Hydro Flite "banana peel" skis. A little more stable than trick skis. They are destined for reversed bindings to be used as back step skis. 
A little... 
It took a couple tries, but Harry successfully rode both to 37 mph, kicked one, then the other to do a tandem footin run with PLBC since we only had 1 other kick ski onboard. Damnit, another drysuit in need of repair. 
Afterwards I peeled every seal off by hand, the glue was all dried out. I salvaged one ankle and the neck to be kept as spares. Gotta get out up here one more time this coming weekend then it's down to Alvarado Texas for a weekend with Feelgood M.D. |

Now that's a great idea! Greg, I'm planning to be there. Probably won't foot as I don't have the gear. Would be great to see some others from the site there. Good footers and friends on CCFan. |
