August 2016 PICTURE THREAD. POST THEM PICS!

This weekend we were recruited to bring our boat for a houseboat retreat with the Young Adults group at our Church. It was a pretty cool experience.

Our trip down started a little rough. I'd just passed a really slow car on a dashed straight away, and was met by the tribal police as I was coasting back down to my post passing speed. He didn't see eye to eye with me, but just gave me a warning (70+ in a 55 zone that everyone does 65 to 75 on).

We were welcomed with a rad sunset over Mt Jefferson.

This was our home for the weekend. The middle "barge" was awesome. it had fold out floating docks, anchors that lowered at the press of a button and a bunch of shade. it was a great central location between the houseboats.

Since I started tying up on the outside of the dock for ease of access during the day.

When inside the dock right now I use the Exile because I have 4 points to tie up.

On the outside I have no protection from waves in the cove, with the boat and dock moving, I wanted more protection then the smaller Exile balls can provide.

haha. you know I couldn't resist messing with ya!

Although seriously, too bad you didn't get the jumbo exile ball I ended up with. You can imagine my surprise when I inflated a new one only to find this:

I have all jumbo exile balls. I had another 6 shipped when I moved to GA.

I have a pretty tall dock and I want 100% protection when the boat is on the outside lol

I was a little worried about being on the boat at least for the next 1/10th of an hour. It all went well.:cool:

It's funny how Brian gets a boat for himself, and then all of a sudden, his balls get bigger and thicker...

Utah waters are starting to slow down with traffic. We got 70 deg. water and mid 80's for air and it was perfect. Hit just 11 hours on the Craz and got a little surf set in.

Not sure if the surfing would have been that good, I definitely see some rollers...

But maybe you could find some good conditions if you tried to motorboat in the valley.

Looks like the twin peaks are looking good this time of year...
