Late-Live-ish From Lake Hopatcong

Before the show getting ready!

This years Lake Hopatcong show was a huge success. Now of course all I have is photos, so I will need to make up the rest of the story. But Bob Kays photos are worth weeding through my bad spelling, poor grammar and completely made up captions. Hey!! You want to know the real story.. Then go to the show and see it for yourself. Here we go! LIVE-Ish From Lake Hopatcong!

Good lord. Very rare shot of the bow rudder

Amazing shots Bob!

Back at the dock

and out again

Oh hell ya! Wake up the lake!

How much fun does that look like? Ya.. LOTS of fun

Gone!

More Bow rudder and love the flow of water!

The water was a tad rough, so she was not really ever under full throttle. Good god!

Back to the Marina!

Apparently the ride tore up Jara’s Jeans!

Jara and a new Shirt!

At the end of the day. So sad days like this have to end!

    Great event and awesome photos! When I get all the way there here from Finland I promise I won’t be wearing a blue shirt. I’ll have a blue suit instead! 😎

    Wow, looks like it was pretty rough waters there, or was Bob driving around in his wake boarding boat so he could make waves and get more dramatic photos? Either way, it looks like he got some calendar worthy shots!

    President Stan and I go way back to his former life with Snap-on Tools.

    Hopatcong is another of those shows I really need to get to. It is not THAT far away, just seems hard to get anywhere this time of year.
