Thanks to everybody for making the Davis family feel welcome at our first ever event. Also thanks to Dr. Dan and Jay for taking the time and convincing me to make the 6-½ hour drive without their encouragement I would not have made the trip. The Dust-Off was great, the lake is beautiful, and seeing and hearing all the Donzi boats on display was impressive. All the people that we met went out of their way to help us out, make us feel welcome and insure that I was clear on what was planned for the day. I have to be honest that for a while I was running behind or in the wrong spot until Jay and Big Grizz got me squared away. From the moment we pulled into treasure cove we met many new friends and all were very easy to talk to. Skippy, Nick and Todd were all first timers just like me and were great guys to be around. Speaking of the bread boys and the yellow non-barrel back 68, that is one dialed in boat, went for a 70 mph ride and all I could do was hold on bent prop and all.

With all the fine Donzi boats at the event I was honored and humbled to win an award and hope to attend next year.

Same here Bob, great to have met you and the wife. Sharing a good time

The awards just topped off the whole experience.

I have some nice pictures and a short mpeg video of that gorgeous 16 of yours. If i can ever find the cord for the camera i will down load them and send them to you. I will have to jump in the roadster and come up for a cruise night soon. Nice to have met you and your family, you can ride with me anytime. I owe you for getting me back to the dock Sunday. I will bring plenty of fresh rolls.

Kenny's 22 looks awesome, and in true sand bagging fashion Kenny says he took a 57 MPH boat and turned it into a 42 MPH boat.

I'm not exactly sure how many 16's there were in the run, my Captain and our crew spent an hour on an Island discussing the finer points of a quiet lake...... I think there were at least 5, maybe more.

Cliff and Di (along with MudPuddle and myself) pulled a King High Straight to win the Poker Run.

In a stunning upset a team collabaration who's sole existance was a tribute to our missing New York friend, Team Turkey Skin Luggage was the underdog darkhorse who shocked the field. Swanson, I want to go over there.....

I'm not sure about the rest of the attendee's but I know I personally flipped Pearson off at least 10 times on out Saturday afternoon run from the Algonquin to the bottom of the lake. Matty it was a run you would have loved, Pearson in the Pumpkin, Cliff, Di, MudPuddle and myself in the black critter, side by side the whole way.

Matty, Marie, I am sorry I missed you guys this weekend. You presence was the only thing that would have made my amazing weekend even better. I finally made it to Lake George, and I will return. I have to, Team Turkey Luggage needs to defend our title....

[mattyboy]

holy cow Don N didn't win the poker run even the house can win sure bet !!!
