    Well, my summer vacation has finally ended. Winterized both boats and both jet skis yesterday as I return to work Wednesday. Already cannot wait for next spring to arrive though this winter will be nice to look for a new ski and some new boat gear as well.

    This guy's season is officially ended... We didn't see it happen, but we arrived at the ramp to see 2 tow trucks and the carnage. I guess the driver jack-knifed hard and it screwed up his SUV bad (enough to require a tow and I think it had broken out windows) and if you look closely, he now has a BREAKAWAY tongue on the trailer!!!!!!!!

    any luck with the winterization list villain? im curious to see what the pro's do, and this is my first winterization with this boat so a little reminder wont hurt. I can't imagine its much different than winterizing a C.C.

    What REALLY makes me sad? it's been in the upper 70's since I had to winterize (which is why said I winterized for maybe the FIRST time).

    Indian summer rocks - it's beautiful weather-wise, but the freeze always kills the gardens and the boating.

    Packed mine full of fresh oil, trans fluid, and RV anti-freeze yesterday. Done until next year...

    Wakesurfing yesterday. Water temp was 55F. It actually wasn't that bad until you were out of the water and the sun had gone down. Bad news though -- dropped my GoPro in 40ft of water.

    Our river has zero visibility. They never recover/find anyone in it until they float to the surface. The chances of finding a GoPro down there is pretty slim although if I dove myself, I'd probably head down and start feeling around.

    I dive. But I don't have any of my own gear other than goggles really. So I'd probably blow more money renting gear and wasting my time than the gopro is worth.

    On a side note, I always bring my snorkel and dive goggles with me on the boat. Makes is a zillion times easier to check the prop and to untangle a ski rope from the propshaft!!! (don't ask me how I know)

    Losing a gopro stinks. I lost mine last year cliff diving. The mount broke when I hit the water. I'm lucky enough to have dive gear so finding it wasn't bad. I went out and bought the floaty for my camera
