Our son was visiting, I took him for a quick spin around Manhattan.
(Our middle daughter likes to wear her outdoor sleeping bag for those rides, she cracks us up)

Best way to see the city, if you ask me.

I've got nothing on @swatski when it comes to cold weather boating. It was beautiful Friday and smooth as glass off the Chesapeake, so I took her to fill her up for the first time at the marina. Yesterday I picked up some friends and went to Cambridge for lunch...didn't expect to be boating near December. I'm fortunate to have had beautiful fall weather so I could get a lot of use since picking it up early October.

Saturday night (11/28) heading out to diner. This is looking back at Downtown St. Petersburg. Sunset was spectacular. Colors are accurate. One of the best fire orange skies ever!!!

A little late, but I thought I’d share. Wake boarding on Lake Powell. It turned out to be the last run of the year. I broke my TV Wake backing into the driveway and took out the reverse bucket as well. Gives me an excuse to do a little work to start up next season!27AD6F66-0E6A-4DA7-B785-4C2FBF24A375.jpeg

It's actually 3,587' altitude right now which is pretty low. The CRC only has 7.5' of water over it and that was after it has been dredged. Full pool @ LP is 3700' altitude.

That's pretty damn good air off a 19' wake.

The water elevation was around 3600’ when the picture was taken. As to the wake, I was running around 18 mph and have ThrustVector Wake installed with 3 teenagers sitting in the rear of the seating area. We were also running a 40’ rope to get further up the wake. :) I didn’t get any good pictures of him doing flips across the wake.

I accidentally responded in another thread, lol. What I posted was shot when the lake was super low. In fact the Antelope Point ramps were all closed due to low water...

I envy anyone who can boat this lake on a regular basis!
We trailered up there from St. Louis, MO, one of the best vacations ever. Made several 100+ miles trips, from Wahweap deep into San Juan river arm and beyond, we did carry extra fuel and trim tabs were essential in making good time, without loosing dental fillings, lol, it can get pretty choppy.

I think this was in the "Bold Rock" Canyon off of San Juan river. Kate and the kids wakeboarding to Jimmy Hendrix "Hey Joe", lol.
It was pure magic.

going back to storage for winter season. Placed engine heater in boat till I get time to winterize. Glad I did. Temps at night hit 20’s for couple nights since back in storage. Plan on rebuilding clean out plug and upgrading stock drain plugs Before next season.

And into December now with barely a dusting of snow up north so far and nothing in the forecast... I'm nervous about what snow pack the upper basin is going to have to fill it come spring. It's starting out pretty bleak...

What are you doing to winterize? Don't you just blow the water out of the engine the best you can and put the batteries on a charger and call it good? The beauty of a Yamaha jet is that they're self draining. You're in Georgia, it has similar weather to Texas, it ain't that cold.
