Dennis adjusted his rudders to reduce the amount of steering (too sensitive), but may have taken too much out. Ended up in the weeds, and had to wade out to retrieve his boat. But the water was deeper than expected, and tripping over an underwater pipe didn't help. He'll dry off, the boat was safely recovered, but that cell phone is history!

RE: Pics from today...
Thank you for NOT showing the pictures of me flopping around in the water like a beached whale. I'm sure others would have loved a video, might even have won money on "Americas Funniest Home Videos", but I can do without the embarassment. Great pictures by the way. Real sharp action pictures. You need to show me how to operate your camera so we can see your boat in action. Dennis

2manytoyz great pics. What would it take to get you to come to the next winds of the swamp race?

Well if Santa gave me a gasser sized hull, that would be a darn good start for me to head to the race! [X(]
Got a used one you're willing to sell at a "reasonable price"...Also, when's the next winds of the swamp race?

RE: Pics from today...
Yea, I could have picked a warmer day, but I was not going to wait to run my boat just because it was a little cool out. The water was not that cold or I fall under that catagory of "no brain, no pain". If you look at the last group of pictures were I am up to my waist in the water it was only knee deep. If you look behind me you see a pump house. If you look out in front of me you will see a float. There is a water inlet pipe in between those two. I know because I found it. Thats how it went from knee deep to waist deep real fast. It cost me a cell phone that got wet and an a_ _ chewing from my wife when she found out to replace the phone was going to cost $50.00. Oh well, alls well that ends well. Besides, I'll probably not fall over that pipe again. You notice I did not say "never". Dennis
