First start of the "new" season.
« on: February 24, 2017, 06:38:26 AM »
I say "new" season because it never got below the 40s here in Central Florida and I should have been using the Skier all winter long....... But sometimes work and life get in the way, so does football season!

Pulled the ole girl out from under my custom sharkskin cover this morning and she is just dirty as I left it. To bump the key for a half a second or so and a start! Love this old boat! Think we are going to go to the lake tomorrow.


I hope you are all doing well and the warm weather hits before you know it.

we do, but honestly sometimes a little cold air would be nice. The joys of living in Florida.

LOL....Couldn't agree more.

We've had lots of friends and family visitors who need to escape the north. Both skiing and non-skiing variety. It's been a great winter.

The flip side of the coin is July and August when you're dripping sweat just putting on your barefoot suit and jumping into 90+ degree water doesn't refresh you even a little bit.

I love this place!!!!!!!
When people run down to the lake to see what is making that noise, you've succeeded.

I'll be thinking of you guys when the water peaks @ 75 degrees in late Aug.
