Wakeboarding season has started

roycruse · 23 April 2006, 17:08

Finally got the courage to go back in the water again after the winter. It was 10 deg C in the water - 1 1/2 deg colder than November when I was in last.

To my surprise I found it a lot easier than last year.

Met up with Chris and Esther in the afternoon for a fantastic BBQ.

Thanks for organising such a fantastic spread - it really put my outdoor cooking skills to shame

Hey, Alice, maybe you and Roy's mate with the 150 Opti could swap notes? You never did answer my question as to what sort of boat your opti was on anyway...

One of these? http://www.botentekoop.nl/webimages/3/3/1/389133.jpg

Looks quite nice - what sort of age are they/is yours?

Nono, you see I think this is a genuine mistake. Alice's Winner Wildcat (assuming it's the same one) had a 135 on the back. And I think he's sold it.

Alice is probably just having a memory lapse over exactly which boats with which engines are current

Yep, that's a fair description. There's another photo of the chap and his boat here, I think you'd have liked him Alice, you share a similar sense of humour, and the same engine...

ADS · 23 April 2006, 21:12

You have messed up the link there Jimbo, although I believe this is the one your after:
this one

Speaking of which our short lived member srellom (mollers spelt backwards

) did not last long, would have gotten on like a house on fire with Alice not to mention Rob Jones

A few classics here for the rest of the students that should be doing Geography based essays like me and Jimbo.Posts by srellom

well played Mollers

Alex, you are quite right, although I have now fixed it.

That Osprey is so close to the one Alice was moving into his barn, perhaps he bought it from Mollers? That might explain the confusion ref engines I suppose. It's a shame Mollers is no longer with us - he and Alice would have had much to talk about.

Alice · 23 April 2006, 23:05

Blimey! Who are these two, Cagney and Lacey?!

Hugh Jardon · 23 April 2006, 23:55

Hey Roy, you and the crowd had a good time by the look of it, brave to be in the water this time of year but we all do our mad things

nice pics of the viper max, hope to get some of mine this coming weekend as it will be good to get some action shots

take care and look forward to meeting up....

roycruse · 24 April 2006, 08:07

I thought it was a bit more "Columbo" style myself

Dont remember him having a sidekick though...

Alice · 24 April 2006, 10:37

I kinda had ADS as Ironside and Jimbo pushing in a 'Louie and Andy' stylie. "I don't like it"

Lawrence · 24 April 2006, 12:26

Hey Jimbo and ADS, go easy on Alice, MPD is a serious condition
