It's around 45 or so degrees this time of year. That was the Puget Sound in the Seattle area. It's hooked to the Pacific ocean so it doesn't get much below about 42. The lakes and rivers in the Pacific Northwest are a different story. The Columbia river is running about 37.

Next time add some music. That noise was hard on the ears.:haha:


What video camera you using?

 

[DBLOCK]

Hey Crabman!

Your little camera did surprisingly well, and the arm on the front of your ski was surprisingly stable.

I agree - music...! Especially with your entry into the water. Something like the Dukes of Hazzard horn, with a YEEHAW! at the end would do nicely.

I really liked the part where you were racing towards the tug boat wake, realized that first wave was going to be a doosey and became a "bit" concerned. I could almost hear the "Oh $h1t!" Classic. JeffP bailing right after that just added to the shot.

I had a good time with you guys - thanks for inviting me along. Hopefully, next time I'll think to bring my video setup and get some more camera angles.

That little Oregon Scientific camera works great, I will put music to it soon, but after the 2 hours it took to edit and create the clip I was burned out. Not sure what music I want yet, Greg was working on some original tracks for me. Be sure and show it to your daughter near the end...

Katelynn got a kick out of seeing herself on video. She also said some people stopped by the truck asking if she was selling any fish... Big day for a shy little girl.

Say, where did you guys find those tour coats?

I got mine on here, there is a thread and it was $81 shipped. Greg got in on the tread here, and they were a steal at $22+S/H. I should have bought all of them and resold them.

I have on an Oneill drysuit (semi dry), and Jetpilot PFD under a Slippery tour coat. I will take your Honda coat if you don't want it for $22.00+S/H .urr:

Well, I'm maidening my ski as soon as the water temp hits 45 degrees, so I'm gonna need as much protection as I can :smile:

A few people bought 3-4 though, mabye you can convince them out for 30 plus shipping.
