2nd AWSA Tourney - Personal Best!!!

 After a week of skiin' every morning/evening in Ohio, skied my personal best. But have had a struggle after a week off skiin' while in Vinalhaven ME then another week off for scout summer camp, didn't get back to shortline until this past week. But yesterday kicked some butt and skied my personal best in windy conditions up on Back Bay of Lake Winnipesaukee, 5 buoys at 36mph. Places me in Mens II Division (Age 25-34) 171st out of 261 skiers in the nation. This weekend is my INT tourney a completely different league, but feeling great going into it!!! Then the following weekend hopefully make it back to Back Bay!!!

High 90s Temps & Southerly Breezes - FLORIDA?

 
 
Nope we're not in Florida, but certainly felt like it the bast five days. Brutally hot. But last night a cold front (cooler front) came in dropping temps 10deg. What a beautiful night on the pond. Just couldn't get the darn Accusink course to come up, then found two leaks in the system an airline that popped off connection and another blown bladder (last one happened on Saturday). So now skiin' for Rich & I, but certainly gave us plenty of time to make the repairs and start updating buoy lines with some Boy Scout knot creativity, new bright orange turn buoys and green pre-gates, as well as re-arrange magnets for all buoy timing. About half-way done after finishing up last night at 11:30pm. Posted by Picasa
