Congrats Marvin!
Was at the tire shop getting 4 lock nuts removed (2 on spare, one on each wheel) as the key didnt come with the boat. 2 hours later finnaly done. Make sure youknow where your lock key is.

A few more coats of oil this week. The one piece came out a good bit darker, but that's fine it adds character I suppose. Now I'll have to do the other teak parts. Really wish this had a teak platform.
Nice, I ended up painting what little teak I had left black to match my interior, mistake, it has since peeled- and this bow hatch cover somehow managed to shrink up and crack, not saying its due to the black paint- but it was fine for almost 20 years, I rattle can it 4 years ago and it implodes.

So we did a double header. Went out on Wednesday with forecasted temps in the 90's and winds below 5mph. These are the evenings I yearn for! And it delivered.
Wakeboarding on this water is what it's all about. And remember, "Safety Third!"
I can't get enough of that smile and I'm so stoked to have a "Surfer Girl" wife.
Goodnight from the Pacific NW.

Seeing that our area is going to get some "much needed rain" (we have record wildfires) this weekend, we had to do an encore night. high of 88 degrees with 4mph winds = recipe for another stellar evening on the water.
And we made the right choice because this weekend we're getting 20-30mph winds with "wind driven rain" and an inch or two of rain. Wow.
Last night We only had three of us, which was fine since that just meant more ride time. Our normal ride spot was basically empty all night. at any given time we were the only boat playing on the water. It was amazing.
Started off with a 2 mile long slalom run. Then did another 2 mile long slalom back the other direction.
Then my friend did the same (but on 2 skis).
Then I wakeboarded a 2 mile run, took a breather in the water and wakeboarded back another 2 miles.
Finished off the evening with around a 1.5 to 2 mile long surf.
My legs were burning but I couldn't get enough of the smooth water. (I've really been going through withdrawls with the windy days we've had recently).
When you can see me smiling all the way at the end of the ski rope, you know it's a good night.
(also, that's boardshorts and a rash guard. No neoprene needed!!!)
It was even smooth through the main channel of the Columbia River. In contrast to days when there will be 2 foot tall whitecaps that limit the boat to 15mph or less.
Love that smooth water, even if it's just cruising at 30mph back to the launch.
