Kaneboats - Beautiful! I'll take it. I say she's doin' 22' off at 34 mph. Just missed the 5 ball. Can't see it in this shot 'cause it's buried under her hip. Congrats to your daughter and thanks for posting the pic. - Deerfield

Deerfield, Kaneboats pulled me skiing behind his boat. It was a great ride. But...no pics.
Kaneboats, she ALMOST got up a couple of times behind the LS. She will get it soon! Tell her to keep trying!
Ed,
That is a great idea!
Thanks!

I was thinking something like that yesterday. We just started throwing 'em up here but I really should have started a Sinclair pics thread over there.
Edit: Oops! I guess it's "over here" now. Thanks, Ed!
Yes this is the place to be! Well actually in was on Lake Sinclair last weekend.
Wow Great Pictures!
A few comments are in order here:
1.) Yes I was eyeing a Moomba towel!
However I decided I liked my other towel better as you can see!
2.) You can see a slalom ski on our Z5 cargo rack so we did ski some
3.) Unfortunately I pulled a couple of tubes with the boat, a round one and one made by Oscar Meyer (however this was the FIRST TIME!!!).
4.) I noticed that where ever my son was there were usually 3 cute little girls in the same area!
5.) My wife the skier did ski behind Kaneboats Outback and said the wake was almost the same as the wake behind our LS. This is for those interested in an LS for skiing purposes.
6.) Kaneboats looking at the picture is appears that maybe your oldest did get up on the slalom ski?
7.) Finally, sorry we have no pictures as for some reason we left the camera on land everyday. Actually we left the camera in Georgia and now have to find a way to return and get it!
Mike, Hey it was good to see you and the family. We will be looking for you at the Flint river jam.
sad news--lost one of my Moomba Towels to the bottom of the lake I believe.
Daze,
I'm getting my scuba gear and/or some kind of hook to try and find it this weekend. Will let you know if I have any luck, but I have a suspicious feeling I am too far North to find it . . .
Thank you Ed. This is the right place. Hope to have more pics of more people from the Sinclair Jam II!Quote:

Well, if by "up" you mean butt out of water and standing then yes she did! Now to say she "rode" the ski might be a bit of an exaggeration. Even on a bull you have to go for 8 sec.Quote:

I don't know if you are aware of this but after we worked with her Ginny got on her slalom and I am sure she was impressed and wanted to try it again.
Please tell her we are proud of her and it will be even easier next time!!!
I'll do that. Thanks for the kind words and support as well as the time with her and the boys. She started out with pairs skis several years ago. She did not do very well and fell a lot. I let her try the wakeboard after she asked me (I didn't ever wakeboard at the time). She got up immediately and loved it and vowed she would never ski again. I have talked to her for several years about participating in all kinds of watersports. But it wasn't till this trip that she wanted to give it a go again. I wonder if her Godmother (my cousin Kate) has something to do with her desire to ski?
This is Kate on a ski:

And this is Kate behind the wheel (just for you Mike):
http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/e...ts/KatesMC.jpg
I am sure she did!
That MC is about a early to mid 80's Stars and Stripes!!!!
It has the same hull as our 75 model but with the new square windsheild, ours had the round one. Before I had our MC painted it had the same scheme only the stripe was the rare green. Ginny got so mad at me that we didn't paint it back original! But when it was going to cost about 3k to do it I just couldn't justify it. That is a great slalom course boat, NO WAKE!
Your cousin and Ginny are alot alike! Does she still have that boat?
I like Kate.
Yes, she just got it about 1-2 yrs. ago. She bought it from the most meticulous anal guy you ever met in your life. It is in absolutely showroom condition. That picture was from last summer.
Kate and I used to fight over who would ski first when we were teens. My uncle's old I/O and then the old jet boat were not the most reliable things so you always wanted to go first or you might not get to go at all. After law school she joined the marine corps. So she can whip you verbally or physically and she can shoot too. We went to college together in Carbondale, IL. I'll never forget when she got a boyfriend with a boat. We wouldn't let her break up with him till winter. Dang it, now you got me missing her.
Holy Crap!!! You guys had fun:) And lots of it, wish we could of made it, but thanks for the invite all the same.
Why the heck wasn't Kate at our Jam?!?!?!
This is a formal invite for her to join us next year. I'll even take her out shootin' some machine guns, if she wants.
We did have a lot of fun! :pQuote:

HA HA! I transferred in about the time of the ban, not before. It's funny but Halloween was a great time after all the outsiders quit coming in and wrecking it. But Springfest was twice as good. I visited one time for Springfest. There was snow on the ground in Chicago when I left but in Carbondale they were wearing shorts and having a carboard boat regatta. I was hooked!
I don't know. Can we stand one MC? Wonder if she would tow it down from Virginia Beach? Then again, we easily had enough room for two more. Maybe she and John would just run down without the boat. You guys would love them. Kate's husband John is from PA and was the first one to ever hand me a Yeungling.Quote:

Besides we sort of have a link if you will, just look at the rudder on her boat and tell me what you think? :)
OK I HAVE NOT TAKEN NOR DID I EVER THINK ABOUT TAKING ANY BRANDED TOWELS FROM THE MINI JAMBO!!! Why would I want one of those when I have my Arial! :cool:
One more thing, we were going under the US Hwy 441 bridge and had to lower our tower several times. We put towels on the side of the hull to keep from scratching the paint while we did this. After putting the tower back up I accidently knocked a BLUE towel over the side. I was amazed at how fast that towel sank! GONE!!!
I agree bring on Kate and her MC. Nothing wrong with it. That is a sick looking boat.
Zegm, You should have seen the towel that I used for my last swimm monday morning--it was the only one that was still dry.
Uh oh! The catfish is let out of the bag.
Ok so what am I to understand here, there was a Moomba Towel and it was owned by one person and then used by another and then it sunk???
:confused:
Zegm, nope. I have/had towels with different manufactures name's on them. I did own a 94 prostar 190.
First: Me and Arial are fine!
I am lost to what happened after I left?
A Moomba towel is missing?
A MasterCraft towel was spotted?
A towel sunk (besides the one I dropped by the bridge)?
Drew is looking for mask and snorkel?
Catfish were caught?
So I guess I am just clueless and Moomba towel less! :shock:

MC towed was used-but only after all others were used
Yep, I think I left the above towel on the tower to dry off-wind blew it overboard-they sink fast, It happens
Yep, Drew being the Man he is, offered to go for swim to look for sunk towel.
Catfish?? guppies?
Moombadaze,
Thanks! I am no longer confused!
Oh the catfish, Zachary caught 2 off drews dock and I saw others were caught after we left. Next year FISH FRY!!!!
Oh, I think MrsZ hid my Arial towel!!! :(

Arial, where O where are you???
I am sure it will turn up somewhere.
I don't know about that MrsZ can be very jealous!!!
I guess I should ask drew to get out his mask and snorkel again! :D
Z what is with you and towels, first SC won't send you one because your Z, then you get harassed about a disney towel not appropriate for a grown man, and now your claiming it's missing? Dude we need to get together and sit down and talk this one out before you get banned from all further functions :)
Sled,
Yeah it has been difficult lately! I think maybe on Labor day we should meet at a place called the Flint River and we can discuss all my issues with towels? Also it would be a good time to see some alligators! OK Pat says there are none or not many here (Flint river side of Lake Seminole) but a short trip from there (Chattahoochee side of Lake Seminole) and I can show you a couple! I will bring the kayaks so we can glide up on them!
I will not forget my 9 either:)
I have the 9 but I have nothing to put in it!
You have 2x my posts?????
Hey what I can I say, I was not a victim of the cleansing of 09 :)
