We were concerned that the lake might be to full of people and that the weather would be too cold. In truth the lake wasn't bad and the weather, well it got better once you jumped in the water. But from this picture you could see that in the morning it was truly cold. Brian brought his motor boat which I failed to get a picture of but I did get a picture of Andrew's 1970 Hobbie sailboat. Andrew's boat was an older boat, like a 1975 or something like that but it worked like a charm. It has an onboard 350 horsepower chevy engine that really only gets like 250 horsepower but it was a blast.
In the morning before it got too choppy Cody and I tried our hand at wake boarding. I was the quicker to get up but Cody stayed up long enough to actually do some thing cool. It was loads of fun and a definite adrenaline rush.
It got a lot cooler when I got out of the water but I was so excited that I didn't even feel it. Because Every time I got up I would only ride for about 30 seconds or so an then promptly fall, I would try really hard not to fall and not let go of the tow rope. Well that strategy always ended up with me face-planting the water at high velocity. So after five or so runs I had a good enough headache to convince me we should move on to something different.
So with wake boarding done and everyone getting their fill we moved on to lunch, a hotdog, hamburger and chips. In the morning Andrew didn't get much wind in his sails so he did a lot of sitting and pondering out on the water. After lunch we moved on to tubing. We had a three person tube and well decided to put three people on it, we had tons of fun getting pulled behind the boat. After that we moved on to an early dinner, another hotdog, hamburger and more chips, it was great. I got to work on my heart disease and skin cancer on the same day (hmm... so fulfilling).
hey cool updates!
