Late Live-ish From Spring Valley Lake California

Little lake, little boat, big smiles

Fellow Woody Boater Maggi Cassell reports in from the West Coast reminding us all that the So Cal gang sure knows how to get the most out of Califorina’s counter clock wise lake life! Woohooo!

The ACBS Southern California chapter is holding our first event of the year, with an informal gathering at Spring Valley Lake in Victorville, CA, north of Los Angeles.  It’s a private lake, and the home owner’s association and yacht club are very kindly hosting our wooden and classic glass boats this weekend.

Are we ready? Are we ready? Are we ready?

Lets go!

Toss me a line. OK, hey, you come here often?

This reporter forgot to count, but let’s say we had at least ten boats and thirty club members in attendance.  The weather was cool and blustery, with occasional sun, but as long as you’re messing around in classic boats, what’s a little shivering between friends?

Nice barrel back running the lake

Nice

Those rear seats can be a bit wet at times

It’s not always sunny in California

Floor it!

Spring Valley Lake is a 200 acre man-made water ski lake, surrounded by homes.  We collected a few onlookers during our parades around the lake on Saturday afternoon.
