    That's next week. Ha. This week was shasta lake Northern California. I hate the thought of someone loosing their ski, passport etc.. but, ya - I'm too far away for a recovery mission. I'm glad Hana liked the sting ray experience - probably remember it the rest of her life.

    Man - swatski, I don't know. Maybe depends on who gets the call at Yamaha. I wasn't hopeful about this after your experience but tried anyhow. Have you called yamaha yourself rather than just have the dealer do it ? If I left it to my dealer I'd have gotten nothing.

    My dealer told me Yamaha wouldn't help me with my windshield or gel coat repairs from my window falling through. I called Yamaha directly and encouraged them that this was not cool. They told me to have the dealer send in a request. While waiting for a respone a new window showed up and gel...

    @Betik Since you invoked majorsmackdown... Majorsmackdown says... you got all that gear... The second time you use it brings the cost per trip to half. That's a deal. ;) Also, how was that ride back to Ft Lauderdale ? Not bad eih ? All kidding aside, Bimini is better than a best friend's...

    Holy Smokes Batman !! When I first got my boat I took it out on the river and came home to find all kinds of fasteners loose. I spent several hours shortening some bolts, putting nyloc locknuts on others, and loctiting the rest (that I could find). That changing room door was just starting...

    It was tiring, but I think adrenaline kept me on my feet most of that day. Our crossing was almost exactly 4 hours. It was stressful waiting and wondering if that dang thing was going to explode when it was wedged in tight, it was a little relief when it fell free. I did try countless times...

    Right on - I know we tried hard to stay with our group, but after the thunderstorm all I could do was just barely keep Glen in sight (most of the time), but with my silly windshield dangling, I dropped my speed just a tad and to lower than I liked. It was bounching like crazy and I was waiting...

    second video: You think Mattieu was making special effects to impress the chicks ? I almost lost my lunch watching that. And at the end of that clip I think you mentioned out loud what several were probably thinking.. the words "turn back"

    I think it's totally do-able. Plus you can possibly arrange a group that affords you safety in numbers.

    Compared to our Bimini crossing I hope everything you do and everywhere you go with your jetboat is a piece a cake.

    That tub of shrimp looks freaking awesome! I'm glad to hear you're all back safely and hopefully had no more trailer issues. Say hi to your gang from us. We had an awesome time this year and miss you guys already. Smackdown and crew just got home today at about 11am Pacific time. Exactly 21...
