[paul folks]

Mike U Missed A Good Run.. C U @ River Ranch Parky U Cummin??

[JR IN JAX]

Parker,
6 boats wide at 100+......
I was having trouble navigating those turns going back/forth to Branford at 85+, with every turn the gusting crosswinds seemed to have more control than I did, especially when the wind would lift the back of the boat/skeg out of the water.

Susan and I will be praying for your Dad....

It was good to see ya'll again.

Jr Seen Yall Sat Wuz N The Motion W/ Justin Nice To C The Ally On The Water Again

[JR IN JAX]

Paul,
I was just this week getting ready to take the Grandsport to Jack Barsh for a bunch of ding [gouge, crack, scratch] repairs, but after the fun I had Saturday [in the wind, even], I am going to keep it going for another week or two if the weather is good.

I saw ya'll there, coming out of Santa Fe. I would have stopped but I was trying to catch up to all of our PWC that were ahead of me.

At Rock Bluff, Parker was talking about all of us getting together for a St. Mary's River run, which is just like the Santa Fe with no no-wake zones. From the ramp at US 1 to the town of St Mary's Ga. is about 40 miles. Fernandina Bch with nice restaurants and 93 is just across the ICW from there. Those that don't mind salt water could visit the Carnagie Mansions at Cumberland Island.
