If we knew that the weather was going to be this perfect this weekend, meaning no wind, we would have taken the boat from Wilson out to your neck of the woods. Would have been perfect conditions for it.
They’re really liberal on “bailing device”. I’ve passed that test by claiming my tackle box once, and an empty worm container another time. Basically if you can scoop water with it you can count it as a bailing device.
The other often overlooked one is an oil absorbent towel for the bilge. After some argument a US coastie admitted my claim that my t-shirt could be used was valid. Sometimes I swear they’re out there just to be assholes.
The water was really sloshing around last night but it was still fun :tup:
Also, running full throttle along the wall while the waves break and spray over you from the other side is a lot of fun. They’re a lot bigger when you’re up close to them than they look from shore!

The water temp is warmer than the air temp today. Falling off will feel like jumping into a hot tub :tup:
Yea it was pretty packed I guess. Middle of July had twice this many boats. It was a maze getting out. People actually were putting there boats closer and closer to the swimming area because they were running out of room.
The weather was perfect…nice breeze, nice waves, nice temp., etc. Had a great time out there. Still have my intermittent fuel cut issue after about an hour or so of riding (just have not gotten around to replacing the fuel selector valve), but I certainly had a nice time out there anyways…plus after an hour or so on my machine, I’m pretty beaten up anyways, ha…
