Here's my bow today. Well it was faster but too dangerous to take a pic at 56

Just checking to be sure ...
Do we post pictures "Of the bow"   OR   "From the bow"  ?

Those shots are taken on the Saranac lakes in the Adirondacks in New York.

Actually it was my daughter Grace that took this month's picture.  She has it hanging in her room. ;)

Doran, yes it is.  I wanted her to have her own mode of transportation on the lake while giving her some independence and responsibility.  She has taken very well to it and loves boating.  Amy and I had her in the boat five days after she was born and she has spent countless hours in the spotters seat while I practiced for barefoot competitions(back in the day).  She currently is my main driver for skiing and barefooting and we ski together often.  It's great to see her take to the boating lifestyle and share it with her friends. Her GT is exactly like the boat we had as a family growing up, so that's what we looked for as I  and knew she would enjoy it.  Of course I have to take out once in while to make sure everything is in good working order! Hannah turns 13 next year so she's currently in training.

That's awesome! I am hoping the same for our two boys. I should have built a bigger glaston cave....

For sure Jason, your boys are heading down the same path.  And it's a good one!

Odd how this picture turned out today . . . but I kind of like it.

How about some bow shots, a rainbow of colors please!





Warning though, be careful holding your phone over the windshield while scooting down the lake; bad things can happen.  :)


That was my first post on this thread, and what followed through the summer . . . A rainbow of colors, no doubt about that! Every picture is awesome,(sexy . . . ya I think so :)) and some are simply spectacular.

The vibrant colors of our vintage machines, and the classic closed bow are from a different era immediately recognizable at just a glance..
