    Nc lake life.

    Key word: LAID BACK. 367 miles of shoreline coves, long stretches of glassy water, minimal other boats. I guess July forth is busier.
    I spent from early 70's to the mid 90's living on South Lake in Hollywood FL.
    Had many good times and many good memories. Day trips to Eliot key in the Mako.
    Establishment hopping in Ft. Lauderdale. Spear fishing anywhere 1/4 to 1/2 mi off shore, spear fishing the wreck Mercedes, trying to get back to the boat before the barracuda's took oir groupers. trolling the weed line in the mornings.
    We really did have a lot of fun.
    Now a Grampa, I'm ready to get away from the crowds of today and just enjoy 90mph across a glass lake by myself.
    Still running super rich and timing backed off 3°, I may see 95mph by the time I'm done. Gotta have something to shoot for.
    It's all about getting a little bit at a time.
    I'm still learning...

    Budget boat, 6k, 3yrs, and many hrs. Puts a smile on my face just hearing it run, much less Screaming and Flying.


    Happy Screaming and Flying
