Sled - I'd like to ski with you guys. But, for me to be there at 6 tomorrow morning, I'd have to leave my house at 4, which means get up at 3. That's kinda early. Also, rain is in the forecast. I'll call or pm you during the week. Maybe one of the other times before season end I'll drive up the night before, stay at a local hotel, and be ready to go at 6. - Deerfield
Hey Deerfiedl no probs. I'm just sitting here waiting for my buddy to show up. It will take about 45 min to set the course up. Because of the weather there will only be 3 of us skiing this morning, ususally when we set the course we run 2 boats because of the number of guys who show up. So today I'll get to ski until my arms fall off :)
Wish I could have made it -- Hope you had some good runs...
Picked up at my dock at 6:10. Decided to head up 2 lakes for better water based on weather forcast. Took about 45 min to set course (had a tangle at one of the bouys). We were skiing by just after 7am.
We skied hard until first boat was out of gas about 2 1/2 hrs. Then another buddy showed up with his boat and we skied his until it was out of gas. Poured in the spare 2 gallons we carry and tore down the course. Was back at my pier by 1.
Several passes for 6 balls at 22 off at 33 mph were made. I struggled and never made more than 3 balls at 33. Was fun.
Deerfield we are doing it again next saturday morning. We are going to another lake not far from mine. It is slow no wake until 8am so we will be haveing a reasonable start time. We'll be behind my buddies brothers Nautique for the day.
So Dave how did it go? I skied again sunday and just had no energy. Going to ski tomorrow morning before I head to work. I've pulled out an old 66" ski and put my current bindings on it. I skied it sunday but was too tired to really ski it. I think my 68 is just too long now and I find it very slow. On the other hand it is very easy to get up on :)
We got skunked - tubes until sunset ... My local connection is a little 'iffy'. thought I woul dhear from him tonight - also - but noshow - kind of windy... One day at a time I guess...
