Saturday was a nice day, and all the DONZI's did a lunch run about 20 or 30 minutes up the lake. Mean while (we were late getting in on lunch) The VA gang started a raft up at the 76 Falls (behind us was the jet boat BIKINI CROUD! aaahhhmm! So then all the Donzi's rafted to us, 25 boats in a one line raft up!!!! It expanded the entire mouth of the falls! Many many pics were taken by all...
Then that afternoon we all went out by the damn on a fast run, did our thing, a few races, hung and headed in... Unfortunately for me, 2 miles from the Marina heading back at 40 MPH a heard a loud metallic tapping, I shut her down to avoid any damage, and had the STUNG MAN tow me back... God what a humbling 1 hour ride..... But I will say, it was worth all the crap he gave me just to see that STINGRAY and SCARAB crossing the lake at 75 to find their broke bud! So THANK GOD for my Z-Care Warranty (I hope it is good, I suspect a rod or bearing), the 22ZX will be in the shop Tuesday whan it opens.
Anyway then the keg, etc, I met allot of SUPER folks, and can't wait until next year... I would tell more, but the leader of this rally (Scott and Beth Bolts) can do all that, they TRUELY deserve that priviledge. Next year they can use my laptop for updating the BB.
Overall it was the best boating vaction I ever had, the 22ZX used over 100 gallons of gas in 3 days... thank goodness I don't have a BB Merc.
So, film/pics to come.
Oh, and I want to say now, you HAVE TO BE a type A personallity to attend one of these things, and thin skin won't cut it either. I out ran some and got smoked by many!
The HORSES ROSE TO THE OCCASION!
My hats is of to all DONZI owners!
