My favorite day of the year - when she goes back in the water. Got the name on her the other day, too. [emoji23] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e1fdc84450.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...67cf7a1eac.jpg

Looks like a few hour window this morning for the best boating weather all weekend
Jealous of all you guys getting out! Slow start this year. Added our 3rd boater to the family in March! I will be waxing this week and dropping the boat in next weekend for the season. I debated ceramic coating but just don’t have the time this year. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a3da89b493.jpg

All cleaned it up to start the year up in Canada. Ice just came off my lake so might be a few weeks before I get a surf in. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7206bd0cac.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...483ae6397f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e30b2f6574.jpg
Epic Saturday in Portland. Record highs of 90 degrees! We launched at 830am and had some fun before most people got out... I got in my first ski and my first wakeboard of the season. Hooked up a new guy with a day on the water. It's always a blast to have someone that makes me look like a beginner. The XLV put out a meaty wake with about 2700 pounds of ballast.

The wifey was happy to transition from drysuit to wetsuit. (63 degree water now).

Docked up the Boat and walked to lunch at Portland Sports Bar & Grill. Good food and drinks on the patio and adding more people to the crew for the day.

we ended up rocking 10 boards + my ski for the day.
Good times with a good crew!

After some more surfing and wakeboarding with a crazy amount of boats in downtown Portland, I took a foil set and then we met up with friends and went to the party cove. Tieup, music and even some BBQ off the buddy's 26' SeaRay cuddy was great. Unfortunately for him, there was a TON of debris in the Willamette Rvier and he hit a submerged log and it destroyed his outdrive. I was already out of the water and driving home when this happened. They had to call 911 and the fire department boat came out and got the women/kids off his boat and was pumping water to keep it afloat. (a big hole where the outdrive was would overpower 4+ normal bilge pumps!!!)

They kept a afloat until they would get his truck and trailer brought out from over an hour away. Now insurance and repairs...
Oh no! That's a terrible feeling way down in your gut right there.
