    I've got this. Don't you worry BZ. I've got this.

    If someone has a Zodiac, we could all tie ourselves to it with a rope and go shoot a commercial for them......

    I am going to Vegas next Thurs to Sunday otherwise I would. Sounds like there are always some pretty fast boats there. Are you guys going if weather is good? Taking the WPM?

    Well Andy's dad made it clear that he better not find us out on the lake due to the wave condition's....the Port Authority at the time required that all dinghys have a orange flag with a 6 ft. or so whip. Soooo we were heading out to trail creek and instead of heading down towards B&E for a cruise through the harbor Andy headed out to the lake....meanwhile his dad was on top of the Kathyrn J (Trojan) watching us the hole time through his binoculars which having the flag on the boat helped him to find us.....needless to say we got in trouble.

    His reasoning for keeping us off the lake that day may have been due to the following:

    4 broken boats including broken transom on one
    1 broken tiller arm
