So, we spent the day at the Chicago Jamboree saturday and had a blast, thanks Chris. Sunday my wife wasn't feeling so good so I went to the island house with my son to do some work on the house and put the baot back on the lift.
So Monday is 89 degrees and I'm done work early. So the wife says she's feeling better and we head out for a late ski before I have to fly out Tuesday morning. I'm thinking all the weekend traffic will be gone and I'll have the lake to myself. Was I wrong! Three IO's with towers trying to wkaeboard, a MC barefooter pulling a knee boarder, some kind of Outboard idiot pulling a tuber, and no less than 5 PWC's. Every where we went to find flat water some one showed up. The kneeboarder was the worst. I know the girl driving and she has never shown any idea of how to share the water. The tuber was a day tripper that I have run into before as well, he uses our private launch and peirs like he knows some one.
In 4 ups I got to make about 6 turns. On the plus side my 8 yr old was able to make some real progress on his slalom, for this I am really thankful and thrilled. I got a surf in, and that was good, and the rest of the kids and there friends got to try out there new Tube they won at the Jamboree (should giving away tubes at the Jamboree be illegal?).
Still I wish I could have had some flat water. Maybe I'm just selfish?
