Well, we're still getting used to launching and retrieving the Minx and the more practice we get the better, so this morning we launched @ the Leesburg marina. While we were launching, we noticed this Monterey Engineering truck on the ramp with a new model boat on the trailer. Looks to be about 30-32' long.
Our plans were to go South across Lake Harris to pick up some friends and customers, Lee and Joy. Lee is a retired Johnson and Johnson executive. So after leaving Lee and Joy's dock, we went to lunch at Dead River Vic's. We had planned on going to crazy Gator's but the weather forecast wasn't good.
After lunch we tried to get back to our friends house as fast as we could as the wind was picking up and it was getting dark (62 mph @ 4400 rpm w/ probably the wrong prop, full tank and four people on board.
Lee had told me he had bought a new toy and he wanted to show it to me.
After looking at the toys, we got back into the Minx and headed back to the ramp.
1 & 2) Monterey truck and new model.
