Not much boating to speak of on the river itself...idle only. The big draw for South Haven is the town...everything is walking/stumbling distance...good food, good drinks...we haven't been in trouble with the police yet...

And there's no such thing as too late...you could still try to get a slip on the north side of the river...a bit more walking to get to the bars and the festival itself...or you could just pedi-cab it. It's a fun town regardless of what weekend you go there...

Still thinking about coming and just putting the boat in the water to run up to Sausagetuk with everyone for lunch and then pulling it back out in the evening and just hoteling it for the night. Not sure what I am going to do, as I now might be taking a road trip elsewhere this weekend.

Mainly thats cuz everyone pulled their boats out before us, and then proceeded to Simoniz their hulls an armor all their tires while we were still tryin to get on the trailers. :confused: Thankfully Scott was there to grab a rope from us.

What an awesome weekend. The current made the launch interesting on Friday...as did the rather intense storm. We sat under the pavillion watching the river surge about 3 feet...the rain was unreal. I had like 7 lines on my boat! This made for an interesting Saturday as well...the lake was full of 4 footers with the occasional 6 tossed in just for fun. When we left in the morning, the bow of my 35 was almost submerging in the swells in the channel. NO order to the waves at all...other than they were heading north, just like us. I stuffed once and the wash caught out our friend in the bolter...I ducked, he didn't! Big D stuffed and blew out his windscreen, BZ stuffed and took out the windscreen and the anchor locker door. And yet we kept going! Leo and I led the charge for a while (in the two smallest boats!), then after the damage was done and we had regrouped, Ryan let the Flatdeck run out and we were chasing him the rest of the way. I had mine running about 35-3800 rpm...if I'd get to 4k, we were out of the water more than we were in it! Had a great time in Saugi per usual, and the lake had layed down to 1-3s for the ride home. Leo and I rocked it home side by side...the rest of the gang stayed behind and partied with the late-arriving Outerlimits for a bit before heading back...and then BZ blew a drive...again. Aren't boats great?

Both nights, Michelle and I closed the bars...and there were bad influence shirts EVERYWHERE.

Had a good day yesterday with my sister and her family on the boat, then packed it up and was home by 4:30. My voice is shot today, and I'm really tired, but it was totally worth it. I love South Haven.

Lots of broken parts, but i gotta say, the ride TO saugatuck was one of my favorite boat rides. Ryan really did a good job runnin the old flatdeck thru the 5' slop...boat runs awesome bro.

Talk about a flashback from last year for me. That river just dont like blower motors! Maybe it was the last 5k rpm chops of the throttles when he pulled into the slip after the saugatuck ride with ryan shouting "T-dock in the house!" that did them in....lol

Couple of the dumbest things from this weekend (unbelievably, NEITHER of them had anything to do with any of us!):

In post 121, middle picture...the bowrider on the right side of the pic actually HIT the metal side of the channel as he was idling in. I mean, COME ON. All you have to do is steer straight down a 100 foot wide area...and you hit the wall? Dumb dick. Scraped down it for about 20 feet before he could pull away as well.

Saturday night at the bar, after running probably 50-60 mph in 4 footers and watching a couple of our boats lose windscreens, some dude was asking what bad influence offshore was, then tells me he has run 70 mph in 8 foot water in his 30 foot Formula. I told him no f'n way....what power do you have. He proudly told me "twin 454s." I said...I call bullsh%t....reached behind me, grabbed Big D, and told him "This dude says he has run 70 mph in 8 footers in a 30 Formula." Den didn't even respond...just looked at the dude, shook his head, and turned away. Awesome. I told the dude, you can bs a lot of people, but it ain't gonna fly with this crowd.
