Dave, I remember passing you pulling the trailer with the transmisson on it. That first boat that passed you was a blown V-drive Cole runnerbottom(liquid Invader) next was PE857 with his blown Cheyenne jet, myself and then Manic Mechanic with his Sleekcraft jet. We didn't stop till we got on 77N at the first rest area to get the boats ready for the storm that was hammering Fancy gap. Had a wonderful weekend, great boating with great people.

OK Folks.....
Due to popular demand and lots of talk, are we all ready for one more get together at Lake James this year ?!?!?! For those that missed the last trip, this might be your chance ? For those who were there, you ready for another one ? Few of us talked last night and just threw some dates out.... what about the weekend of 10/23 or 10/30 ? Other suggestions always welcome as well. Lets see what we can do and go from there....
Dreamsicle/Keith,
Yes, that is the Southwind from the Richmond area, I picked it up about this time last year. It needs lots of attention to detail, but have been too busy just enjoying being back on the water from several years away. I have been slowly doing modifications and changing things here and there. This winter will be major down time to deal with some long term things on it. Glad you passed on it, otherwise I probably wouldnt have it right now :D .

Yeah Yeah....pictures at some point guys.
Hey Todd, heard you will be paying us a visit next year, great to hear it.
Can you believe work has actually been trying to make me work since I got back.....lol.....the nerve of these people. So, pictures are coming, just slowly. Besides, Sleek's put up a few good ones !!! Love the dock picture, damn, just look at that water !!! I think we were all foaming at the mouth trying to get on the water as quick as possible....lol. Look close, you can see Markist standing there in awe :jawdrop:
Later,

This was a great weekend trip even though we got there a little late,
everybody had a good time, the campground was awesome (thanks Wideopen for looking out for us), the southern folks are great people.
It was super seeing our old friends Travis, Mike & Jamie,
Tim, Paul, Jim, John Shirkey, Leland, Alex and Evan.
Markist, it was great meeting you and your wife... thanks for the brewski's..
I'll buy the next sixpack.
Jerry, I thank you for the breakfast and all of you for being the great hosts that you were.
JR, It was real nice meeting you and we hope to see you again soon.
Thanks you guys, for inviting us down.
I have not winterized my boat yet as Beverly and I were already planing another trip down there once the leaves start changing, so 10/23 or 10/30 sounds good to me.
Pin it down as soon as possible so we can make reservations we will be there.
The water was smooth, the weather was great and we were all glad we came down .
Here are the few pictures that we took.
This is everybody coming into the campground.
