1) First time out on this lake. The water is caribbean blue and endless.
2) Brown's makes a mean burger and the beer is ice cold.
3) Harsen's Island is paradise. Kraven and Sam have it made.
4) 70 miles and hour over a wake in Jamie's 16 can be a little wet, but invigorating.
5) Momma don't let your girls grow up to walk the gauntlet. Two rows of 100 or so boats, beads, music, a nut-cake DJ, and it only gets better from there!
6) A lot of Donzi owners could care less about the internet. There are Donzis in the weeds up here.
7)Bill and Jan are excellent hosts, so can I come back up tomorrow?
8)This place has all the makings of a national scale gathering, so lets start working on it...

So you liked the "Aisle of Flesh" eh? The Z man can get a bit annoying...and you know he's gonna be there "allllll niiiiight lllooooong, baybeeee!" There's no shortage of eye candy. :D

Seriously though, I'm glad you came out to check out your new boating venue. We had a great time out on the lake.

A big thanks to Doug Lovins for letting Jenn and I invade his boat while mine is under the weather. I really enjoy it when you come out!

Sooo, when's the next event? September what?


Embarking upon the most stressful week of my life...

What a great day! It was really nice to meet Todd, Mike, Hunter, Tim and Marty, and it was nice to see Jenn, Randy, Jamie, Doug, Bill, Bill, and last but certainly not least Liz, again. Oh wait, can't forget Keith! Has anyone got pictures yet? I got to have a picture of Jenn with both thumbs way up high as Doug went over those large waves if anyone has one. Speaking of which, I think that was what made the day for my boys, jumping freighter waves, how fun! I am in agreement with Randy, how about September?

St. Clair Flats has it all! You should see Labor Day weekend! It broke my heart seeing a mess of Donzis rumble into Muskamoot Bay while I was on a friends boat and my Donzi was sitting at the Idle Hour. Guess I should sign in here more often. See ya next weekend!

-------Took off for Lake Muskoka(first time)so am posting a little late on our great DONZI day on and around Harsens Island.
-------Much thanks to Bill and Liz for getting us all fired up and putting things together.We have a wonderful area up here and I know that we would love to show all the rest of the board what we all love about it!The "location" for a super MI. meet is still the hard part but with a little digging I think we will come up with a location and weekend that will have you all talking for years.Next year we would love to get as many DONZIites up here as possible.So start planning!!!!!!!!!!!!............Bill S
