I'll be on Pool 9 August 11th-13, and 18-20. Would be neat if some more jetboaters found me on the perfect beach.....

I hope to launch in Wabasha this Saturday and go North to a sandbar just South of Lake Pepin. My buddy has a slide that he put up on the top of the sand dune and a gas powered water pump to pump water to the top and then down it. The kids get going so fast down the slide that when they hit the water they skip 3 or 4 times.

We are headed to the sand dunes just south of Lake pepin and north of the Wabasha launch this Saturday. Look for the 100ft slip and slide and come join us.

The photo is from last Saturday.

WOW. That has to be enormous pressure being exerted on that structure.

WOW

Man, clearing this up is a DANGEROUS job...

That's exactly what I thought too. Water is way up and the current is extremely strong.
WOW. That has to be enormous pressure being exerted on that structure.
Especially with all that water pushing hard as well.

Pulling a barge sideways against that current is going to give even the biggest tugboat a work out.

Gotta love that upper Midwest accent!

This is going to be expensive for that barge company...
