I would also like to add my thanks to a bunch of people, singleing out the following.
Brandon - Thanks again, without your assistance we couldnt have put all this together. You excelled at your task with flying colours - boat too. :USA:
Jim Lee - I cant say thanks enough Jim, you allowed Jay, Lori and myself to crash in your house there, use the Carver as our photo base and just be an allround class act. There are not that many true "genuine" people in the powerboating world but you are one of them and I will be forever grateful for everything you did for the H2O team.
To Delo, Scott, Mike, Dennis, Tyson, Masher, Eric, Mackinaw, and the others whose names slip my mind (claiming jetlag here) - I am very very grateful for you guys taking your boats out and putting them through the air for us to shoot pics. :driving: - we got some awesome images and we hope to repay your generosity by doing a great layout in the magazine and showcasing an amazing group of people called the E Dock Gang :cheers2:
To all the wives and girlfriends who are the backbone of the E Dock gang guys, thanks for being part of this whole adventure. While you may not be in the limelight all the time please know that myself, Jay and Lori know the input and involvement you all have in getting your boys out onto the water and it is appreciated.
To Jay and Lori, it was great to have you there as part of the H2O Full Throttle team and apart from trying to drag Jay away from shooting shots of :_boobies: all day it went well. You guys are professionals and I am proud to have you both on the H2O team moving forward. But Jay remember there is more to life than :_boobies: - not a lot more, but there is more
And to everyone else who helped make this visit such a success - thankyou.
Its about time powerboating magazines visited the out of the way places (and yes I had to look at a map to see where both Oklahoma AND Grand Lake were) to look at the boats and people that make up this awesome industry, and hopefully we have started the ball rolling.
So thanks again everyone and remember to keep an eye out for the next issue of the magazine when it comes out.
Cheers
Ned
