Turns out we have people staying over tonight. Hoping I can still get out of here early but I may not make it to the ramp till 10 or 11.

Do you know these people or did they just set up camp in your yard?  ;D
Are you going to make it David? Gregg? Jim?

Was fun guys. We had 6 boats in all today... Just not all at the same time. Was fun to watch the races. I haven't seen them since I was al little kid. Makes me want to try it!

My boat's still not right. Idles fine, temp good but then tried to get on plane and it was like it was slipping and then I watched my temp gauge go from 100C to 160C in about 10 seconds. I shut her down, then got back to the launch under "no-wake" speed. Found about 18 inches of fishing line around my prop later in the day after it was on the trailer, but I definitely think an impeller job is in my fall's future.

Luckily Jim was kind enough to give me a ride so the morning wasn't a total bust! Thank you again kind sir!

I had to get back to the launch by noon so missed the races, but we had a great time toolin' around and great conversation before Jason ran me back to the ramp.
