Some additional thoughts for the weekend:
NOAA says it's gonna be windy... 15-20 knots SSE. So be prepared with plenty of lines/fenders. The Turtle is on the north shore, so it gets a little bumpy there under a south wind.
Make sure you are COMPLETELY legal, i.e. registration, flares, life jackets, fire extinguisher, etc. The local law enforcement can get a little over-zealous this time of year...just a fact...
It's going to be a good time!!

Marvair called me and is a go. He has a timing issue but will be there at one point.
I still dont have a boat!
Does anyone have a boat count?
Thanx,

We are ready and in fact going out tonight on the boat. Jefe noticed you leaving today down the cove... Sorry did not notice untill you were leaving. Found the stuff on the back porch. Have Queso and dips ready also at my house and the pool area all setup and ready to go. I have 4 people with me but could squeeze a fifth if need be.
FYI Natlie had the baby Wednesday so they will see us at the house. They are both doing great.

Never mind I will be joining you all by car. The boat no longer works... Not sure what’s going on but it starts then idles but as soon as you try to engage the throttle it dies. No matter how much gas you give it. You can give it gas by at the engine and it seems to run fine but not by the throttle. Not sure. Got stuck in the lake and had to be pulled back. Fun. Anyways might need a ride tomorrow also.

I guess its time to get the yellow 69 Ski Sporter from Dickinson Bay in San Leon in the water again
I should have it running next month
I have been going too slow for too long in the 27ft Albin Sports Cruiser
100 hp Westerbeke - top speed 10 mph (on a good day)
but it burns < 2 gallons per hour and I dont have to worry about sunglasses blowing off

Woo-Hoo! Thanks for all the Texas hospitality! I hate to mention the folks, because someone always gets left off on a thank you list like this. But anyway:
A hugh thanks to Jeff (Jefe) for putting me and Wade up for the weekend and giving us great rides. Jefe knows 1 speed in Jefe's Revenge - Hammer Down Baby. "Ahhh princess, you may not want to lay up front - it's going to be a little bumpy." Princess: "Waaaaaaaaaaaa"
JimG and Janet - great to meet you. What a beautiful '70 18'
Jraysray and Jenette - Scott, sorry you never got your boat going. You should have punted on Friday and just played with everyone else. Jenette (Wonder Woman), you are 1 beautiful babe - body and mind!
Harbormaster - been to long. Don't be so scarce
Steve F - always great to see you. You are a reliable trooper. Can you say Blackhawks go vertical!
Phil (TMann) - thanks for the hospitality over at your place - really nice place. Can't believe you hosted so many people. Sorry I didn't meet your wife and your 3 DAY OLD BABY! Your're the MAN.
Lee (Flying Tomato) - love your boat and I'm sure you will have it sorted out soon. Talking about your diving work had me in amazement. Stay SAFE!
JeffH - enjoyed talking with you at lunch. That is a pretty 18. I like the platforms - need to talk to you about them.
Oh, am I a Turtle - You bet your sweet ass I am. Maybe I shouldn't have told that one Gotta love the Bushwackers
