Our boat is recovering from two weeks of enjoying Bimini as the rest of us are. So we will be in the unpolished group. Especially since our cover fell apart on the last days drive home.

I washed mine after spending a few hours on the lake this afternoon. Not spotless, but good enough.

We were almost there and have a cabin all weeks so we are there! Thank goodness we brought our kayaks and golf clubs so we have something to do til you all get here!
I'm here. Would love to meet you before everyone gets here. I'm so sorry about your boat, and trailer, and truck!

We really enjoyed our time with @MutherTucker today. She is a wealth of knowledge on the Shelbyville area and just a great personality to hang out with. Thanks for being such a great sport today Renee, we really enjoyed getting to know you better.

I wrote to @OperationROL but for forgot to follow up here. The short version of the long story is that I didn't ship out the drone/quad copter (phantom 1) because it died on the shelf form non use I assume.

I found out as I was making the how to video before packing it into its case. It powers up but won't take off, my local shop said the main board is fried and that it would cost more to fix than replace. I'm In in the same position with my phantom 2 which crashed into the water a few weeks back otherwise I would have shipped that one out to you all.

Anyway, sorry guys, I would have loved to loan you one and to have seen the images and clips captured on it during what's sounds like a big, long and fun gathering of boaters.

Does anyone know if I can use an orange dive flag as a replacement for the water sports flag? If not I will pick up a flag somewhere along the way.

as long as it is 12" x 12" and orange it should be fine.

@Ronnie you are awesome. You guys would not believe how hard he worked to try to get the drone out to me. We appreciate your willingness and thank you for the effort!

Anyone need a set of CobraJet steering fins (first generation)? Cost is a handshake and a thank you. Let me know and I'll add them to the already well filled truck.
