I figure my uncle would get a kick out of me buying a boat on this trip

I bought my boat on a trip to my mothers house for her Birthday party.

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....

The Dust-off was great. Of the three I've attended this was the best by far. I think we had 25 boats, (not all made it to the poker run) and I think I heard 83 people at the dinner. First stop ended up being Treasure Cove to pick up the people who had mechancial issues. 19 boats made it to the northern stop in heart bay. Dr. Dan lost his gears at stop 3 (Gull Bay) and Dwight provided the tow to hague. Cliff ran interference for the team and took the hit from the noise police. he probably saved more in gas than the ticket cost. Don N's boat was at Performance Marine at 8 a.m. Sat. and he made it out for the run. Big Griz trailered the critter from Georgia, only to end up a passenger for the poker run. Lenny found out that Lake George was not surrounded by sky scrapers. Kenny's boat looked great, but I don't think I saw him go over 45 mph. I think there were 6 16's, 2 X-18's and ???? lost count.
It was hot, sunny and a blast.
