Green Lake 2015

I don't know why these images are showing up low res. They were taken with a 5DmkII.

I'll fix them when I get back from work

Ok that's the problem. I was using 900 pixels.

I can edit them in a few days. Thanks Keith!

A Huge THANKS goes out to Mojo(Dave), Raindog(steve) and 81nautique(alan/dana) you guys have always done a great job putting GL festivities together and making it a great time for everyone else!!

Paul,

Now he needs a little Grecian formula on that gray mop of his.....We know it ain't from wisdom but from raising a teenage daughter.

Think I saw this picture in the post office

If you didn't know any better,you'd think this is the poster boy for CCF

Does anyone know what happened to Paul and Jen Sandstrom?? They were there in the campground Thursday night, then vanished for the rest of the reunion.. Hope nothing bad happened

glad ya'll had a great time!
but if you call that bad water, don't visit the south end of Lanier ona a Saturday...

I had a great time at GL this year. A big thanks to Dave (OverMyHead) and his son Austin for letting me hang out with them on their beautiful '87 Ski Nautique all weekend. We got some good skiing in, and Austin schooled us in wakeskating. The kid is good!!! Dave let me take the wheel of his '87 as well. Very reminiscent of my old Southwind handling and responsiveness characteristics. Ha Ha!

Also a big thanks to Dave, Alan/Dana, and Steve for putting on this great shindig. Always very well run, and a blast.

I stayed at the Waldorf "Bay View" Astoria, at least they charged like the Waldorf! A bit pricey, but, well worth it. A real time capsule from 1956. It may not be around long?!? The hotel (or the ground it sits on) is for sale. I didn't realize it, but, the picture on the login page of this site is the dock at the Bay View. Get your check books out gentleman and dig DEEP!!!

Also, a big thanks to Dana and Alan for trading me a ski session in exchange for my expert spotter skills.    I have to say, Alan can really rip it up, and lay it down with his green slalom (to match his gorgeous Sport). Very impressive skiing sir!

Got to also witness Terry (Ultrahots) trading Show Nautique stories with the gent that owned his old Show from years ago (or was it vice versa). Those two guys were in Show Nautique heaven!! A beautiful thing to witness!

Another interesting moment I had was when I was minding my own business walking back to the hotel, carrying a cooler full of Spotted Cow's, and a couple of very nice (albeit a bit jacked up on dirty martini's) local women stopped to offer me a ride. The Green Lake townspeople are so nice! I am not sure who they were, but, one told me she was married to the mayor.

Here are a few pics I snapped.

Where have I seen this dock before?

CCF Folks,

I just want to say a big thank you to all of you. After meeting many of you at the Green Lake reunion I can say without a doubt that yours is one of the most dedicated, passionate and fun loving groups of "boat people" that I've had the pleasure of spending time with. My wife Pam and I have been involved with classic boating for all of nine years. We started with a Chetek lapstrake outboard. We won awards with the Middy Mae and met some awesome people from the ACBS Blackhawk and Glacier Lakes chapters. Then came the Atom Skier. I knew virtually nothing about Correct Craft or Nautique boats before purchasing the 1955 Atom. We knew the CCF group was primarily later model, glass boat enthusiasts. But we took a chance and signed up the GL reunion. Well....those of you who were there know our baptism by fire. As George Castansa would say, "The sea was angry that day." We thought our goose was cooked until out of nowhere, Gary Starr and his wife appeared and got us tucked into their wake for safe passage to the party area. During the rest of the day and into the night at the park, more and more of you greeted and welcomed us. We couldn't have felt more welcome and comfortable in new surroundings. We just finished a Glacier Lakes chapter group cruise on the Milwaukee River. While the "no wake" ride on the river was much more calm and relaxing, the wild ride on Green Lake and the new friends met will never be forgotten! See you next year?
John and Pam Baas

Hey Mojo, where is that drone footage?

Can't get the guy to answer my emails.......
