One picture of your last outing.

Great day out on Allatoona! Saw lots of new Yamahas on the water, took the boys water skiing near Kellog Creek and dropped anchor for swimming and lunch up Illinois Creek. Full boat with two families, but performance was great. Can’t wait for them to learn to wakesurf. With 8 in the boat we make a pretty nice curl for a 19.5’ boat.

@Brad460 @drewkaree You guys missed it today at the EAA - big military day.

Started off with a C-130 Hercules and a pair of V22 Ospey’s.

Followed by a pair of F-15 Eagles and an F-16 that performed for about an hour - my pics kinda stink.

It was an awesome display of power - god bless those that protect our freedom.

I know, I heard about what they were going to have at the show today, if I had known earlier, we'd have planned Saturday a bit better. As it was, we were pretty wiped out and would have had to pre-pack to head back home on Saturday, and that just wasn't gonna happen after a full day of bad influences by our neighbors. That's our story, and we're sticking to it!

The neighbor (Mr Luigi's pizza) who originally got everyone looking forward to the air show bailed on Saturday due to the weather outlook, and changed their plans to Sunday.

Somehow, I need to add 36 hours to the weekend to fit everything in.

Wisconsin - Lake Michigan

I would have thought that Lake Michigan would have been a bit rough yesterday?

Nope, was close to glass..

I monitor this website for the wave forecast. 1‘ or less and we love Michigan.

Thanks for that link! Good info.

Headed back from some tubing on the Great South Bay. snagged a buoy for a trap and dragged it for a bit before freeing it from under the boat. Fortunately nothing sucking into the impeller. Overall a nice day off the south shore of Long Island.

I like the rear view mirror location. I'll have to try it. I don't use that one that came with the boat, but a good backup.

I did 20%.. If I could do it over I think I would go 35%.. Dark sunglasses + 20% is just a tad below where I feel comfortable with other skiers around.. I don’t want to miss anything.. I keep a hat around if needed..

A few Yamahas at Browns Inlet, NC

Awesome. So the percentage reflects how much light is let in, not blocked?

All you need is to fill up the transom ballast bag, a few people in the boat with the Yamaha booster and my whole family can wake surf ropeless almost endlessly - i'm sure a dedicated wakeboat is better, but no one is complaing on our boat.
On that pic - my son gets on the non-wake side just to hang out while his sisters wake surf, and he can get on and off the platform while the boat is moving. Good times.

Curious - are the girls doing a typical launch from 0mph in water feet on board sideways?

The day has finally come!! After the drive shaft breaking in April, and some of the parts showing back ordered until November, I figured no boat for us this year, even put a deposit down on a couple rentals later this month for for family/friends coming to town. Got a call this morning, thought it was for my motorcycle I dropped off last week to get the forks rebuilt, SURPRISE!!! it was my boat dealer with a fixed up boat. Took her for a quick lap in the sound, ran great. Took some vacation time tomorrow and Friday to get out on the water! AC-130 gunship waiting to takeoff as I was doing my quick test drive.

This was our last outing on our Yamaha. We both took the helm for one last time today. I must admit it choked me up, and I saw tears from my wife. After I let the buyer take the helm, it was a done deal. Sweet Waters is on her way to Long Island right now.

Sorry to hear that...That must mean you have a 275 on order!

Took the boat from Long Beach to Newport. It’s about 18 miles each way. Pretty nice on the way out, but a little rough on the return.
Stopped at Sol Mexican Cocina for lunch
