Only had the GT160 out a total of about 15 minutes, so this is like a maiden voyage. I'll bring a tow rope.

10 days out, and the 10 day forecast shows favorable.   We will see how it changes between now and then.  So far So Good.



update 9/14/14   weather forecast still positive.

Smile, At the September 21 meet CGOAMN members will have the opportunity to have an action-shot professional quality portrait of their boat taken.  Conditions permitting, we will gather and do a one-by-one fly-by past Tom for a once in a summer chance at a photo to remember.

Tom P has his boat rigged with a special fly bridge and professional photographic equipment.  Sally and I got a great picture of our old wood boat from Tom earlier this year, and can say that it is great! 

When asked, Tom offered a special 25% discount for CGOAMN members, who decide to download their pictures with a special CGOAMN discount code that will be available after the photo shoot.

That's great Chad. Thanks for setting that up. Tonka Jim, can you recommend a good place to do this between 1:30 and 3:30 (probably after we meet for lunch somewhere). I am thinking one of the less busy bays. Would be great to get a nice groups shot too.

So bring your boats to Minnetonka Sunday!!

Tom P  of 'Tonka Paparazzi lives down the street a few blocks from me on Fagerness Point. I met him briefly at the annual neighborhood memorial day block party this summer. He took a real nice shot of my SeaRay in July.

I spoke with 'Tonka Jim and let him know that if people are interested in getting out of the boats for a little while to get some lunch they are welcome at my place. I have a nice little grassy area down by the lake and can provide a place to sit and eat, a grill, & bathrooms. Also have all the picnic stuff(plates, utensils. ect.) left over from a party we had in June. You would just need to bring something to throw on the grill. I've got 2 docks but am sure some of my neighbors would let us use their docks to tie up to for a bit if needed.

Let me or Jim know. If it is something to group wants to do we can make it happen.

This late in the season, to pass by Tom to his north and east provides his best lighting.  He recommends a backdrop where there are no boat house covers to distract the shot.   The County park beach in the south east of Maxwell provides a building free backdrop, and a place to beach while queing up.

Wind permitting Tom likes this as a good spot for a fly by.  Also the bay around the corner to the north is no-wake and we can re-group there for a group shot.  Perhaps we can proceed here about 2:00 to 2:30 while the sun is still high.  Of course, if the wind is blowing hard from the NW, as predicted, we will need to find an alternate spot.

I am going to try to make it Sunday, with part of my family at least.  If all goes well, will maybe bring my new ride that is better suited for Lk mtka weeds.  Bravo 3 w/ dual counter-rotating props should chop thru milfoil like nobodies business.  Or maybe it will get tangled worse than a jet, who knows.

I am going to try and make it. However I have some friends coming in from out of town and we are going out for my B-day/ Octoberfest. If I do make it, it would probably be a little later but not a sure thing.
I think this has become an addiction.

I did defect to a Cobalt (with wrap around seats), so I had something for Sunday.  Need to see how this new setup works for me, and go from there.
