Thanksgiving Day Ski Runs

Probably not me. The wind has been screaming out of the North for three weeks now and doesn't show any indication of letting up.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Think Ill just watch some football and take a nap.

Nice! I guess i should get out since you guys still can. Not going to make the usual Black Friday runs, our usual guests reschedualed the holidays this year and won't be here until Christmas, but i'll get a run before the weekends over.

Cold one today (low 30s), frozen deck again. I have pics and vid.

South of the Mason Dixon doesn’t qualify as cold.
You should have a heater for your poor little spotter.

Excellent enthusiasm Wayne. I hung it up a couple weeks ago on a nice 74 degree (water 58) day. Looking forward to getting together again next spring. I want to try out that new ski of yours. This time bring the family along.

Wednesday 11-21
45-50 Air, 40ish water



Thursday/Thanksgiving 11-22
60 Air! 40ish water
Test fitting the 1985 SeaTec Barefoot International Medium-Large drysuit



Time to get serious.


Going for it.



Never going to zip, so why not just blow the neck out upon removal right?




The Friday skiing was way worse. 30 Air and 30 mph winds. I'm waiting on some pics for this. I did not ski Saturday, but did get out again yesterday. 45 Air and far less wind, gelt like a summer day compared to Friday...

too fat chris for m___?

Our lake (Badin) is down roughly 5' with an additional 6' to 7' to go. So with the windy conditions I opted to move things around in the garage and put the boats inside until the lake level rises.

Hollywood, I want that Drysuit, that's the best liking thing I've evrer seen, feet and a blue neoprene neck seal. Dipped the boat tonight to bring it to the house for Christmas Parade prep, water was 62. I'm going to try to get the shower in by the parade so I can get one last wetsuit run in.

How about HW's warming fluid - the 24 pack of Coors Light

I must be a wimp. That water sure felt cold to me. My wife is betting I will try every holiday this year, I am not so certain.

Larry, I will definitely plan another drive to Southern Pines in the Spring. I would love to have you stop by our place; maybe during the summer months when the days are long, you could swing a little east on before you turn south on the way home from work.

Tim, you ought to have a few more nice days down there before it gets cold for a couple of months.

Larry, you neglected to mention my other "special friend", Hollywood!!

My neighbor took these on thanksgiving, pretty grainy but the sound of HW's 88' is clear.

Larry, I think the Tube BB code will still work, but you have to use the link that Youtube serves you when you click on "Share"

Quinner's videos appear to be in photobucket though, so moot point I guess.

You're right, you used to be able to just use the regular youtube url, I think it got more temperamental at some point.

I had quoted Quinner's post to see his url, but then canceled my post.

Looks fixed above, I can't see flash at work though

The blurry picture of quinnkles partially suited is a pbucket video. The boat is idling.
