Some, like that one, are a little blurry. I was running and saw a boat coming, wouold grab the camera and have Terri steer while I tried to quick take a shot....
Some I only got half a boat, depending on the water conditions......
Can't inagine what they would have been like with no AF or IS...

Three boats is the perfect number. They just need to be the right three....:sifone:
We currently have 4, but need to eliminate 2 and buy 1 for the perfect 3... (at least for now)......

We towed up on Saturday morning. Got a litle later start than planned, but got there plenty early to spend the day....
This was the first time out for the new engine and new drive. I'll probably do a different thread on that for input from you guys.
If you were there and about, this is what the Marlin looks like.
Damn Bubba, U'll gotz some big birds over in your hood!!!!:sifone:

They were fine.
When we went to launch, I'd never been there before, I pulled in the wrong way up next to two officers in a car at Oxbow. Asked them about the launch, where to back, what to watch for etc. They showed me how far back I could go before the dropoff where the trailer would have trouble coming out.
Then, on our first run up the lake, we are a ways up and Terri goes, "I think this is a no wake", I look around and think well maybe, so I slow down and sure enough, two officers come out in a boat and say "You figured it out I guess". I said, "No I completely missed it, Terri figured it out, sorry, first time up here". They said "Well, good job, now you know, have a good day".
I also chatted with a couple at the big raftup for awhile, and said hi to a couple more by Barlow, they said they were busy but things were okay. I did not see them harrasing anyone, but there were always a couple around the raftup area. Which probably is a good thing.
I do believe they arrested the one lady who smashed up the boats at the upper sandbar when that deal happened. I don't think anyone got hurt there. We were not there then.

I heard it was a girl who got arrested. Don't know who was there from the group, but I'm sure we'll hear more if it's real.
