Got tgether today with Parnell "Sweet Cheekz and Tom "Tborisch" for some fun on Spring Lake and Lake Michigan. I had no idea that Parnell's boat runs over 80 mph! It's not just bling! Tom's '03 looked impeccable and a lot like mine. He has good choice in colors, shoulda got a better pic of it. Had fun running the Lake Michigan shore together. After Tom and Parnell left. I went back out on Lake Michigan with a friend for a quick run out into the lake and back. My best speed for the day: 84.3.

Pics:
1. 3 Classics, Tom on the dock
2,3. Parnell and his awesome 16
4. That guy looks familiar.
5. Heading out for some fun.
6,7,8. Four historic lights. Grand Haven South Pier inner & outer lights, Two lights at Muskegon Harbor.
9. This is so cool. I've never seen this before. It is the equivelant of a railroad drawbridge but the center section rises and turns to let boats past.

Glad you made it over Carl. Nice meeting you and your friend. Your boat rocks and sounds awesome. It was a perfect Lake Michigan day for the Donzi's. We could have used 30 degrees but other than that it was great. See you soon

Parnell, by the time we got back out there it was quite a bit colder. It was 5 pm. It was numbingly cold. We shot offshore about 10 miles (I wanted to go further), had a quick....ahh...soda ;) and headed back. That long no wake zone eats up a lot of time but that is a very interesting harbor/lake. We'll do it again!

I can imagine cause it was cold as heck when we were out there. News last night said it was a high of 48 at the lakeshore Going 80 mph thats a bit refreshing. Next time we will use the good ramp close to the lake after its dredged.
