Live-ish From Algonac. Blue Skies, Blue Water, I’m “Bluen” Away!

,

Wow, The weather in Algonac Delivered!

Reporter David Irvine and his wonderful eye sent us in these great shots of the Algonac Show. of course in true Woody Boater style, no credits or captions. I love this kinda stuff, cause we all get to have fun. Thanks Again David, here is the report as I see it with your photos. Yup, I get to make up the entire report! I may get some things wrong. Just a little.

From Where it all began, and hasnt changed!

Okay, thanks Matt, the weather is great here in Algonac Michigan “where it all started” Lots of sunshine, perfect St Clair water and tons of smiles. Over 3,000 boats showed up, and 100,000 visitors are expected today at the big show. The good year blimp is flying over head, and Ford Motor Co is here to show the world the New Shelby Prototype for 2030.

Back at the plant

Also, in a stunning one of a kind thing, Christopher Columbus Smith who was frozen in a cryogenics chamber has been thawed out and will be here to sign autographs. But please hurry, he is decomposing and its getting a tad rank here. It was a first generation cryogenics thing, and oh, boy.. Gar Wood is expected to be thawed out today. So. Here are some wonderful photos . Enjoy, and see you here. Oh.. that’s not good, Christopher Columbus Smith’s hand just fell off. So no autographs today.. Ugh.

We are near the top of the planet, so that is the curve of the earth down to the right. Thus all the water leaks out and down the rivers to the south. Yup!

    Thank you David and Matt! Greatest captions ever for the show. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with today. BTW, Trump and Hillary are expected at the show about 2:00 for a free boat ride. Watch out for the secret service!

      Easy Rider is a Roamer, steel or aluminum, looks like a 41′, had one for 10 years. Nice boat.

    I think the answer to Matt’s question of “…What’s up?” is the water levels.
    At the 2011 Algonac show, we needed ladders to get up onto the docks!
    All of the Great Lakes are at record levels for May and so far in June.
    My Classic Corner article in the next issue of Scuttlebutt talks about the challenges us Classic boats face this summer due to the water levels. (Shameless PLUG)

    Great (and many!) photos!

    Being a sideways photo commenter….

    Uh, can someone buy that doofus a pair of Sperry Topsiders (ask any local Preppy)….the doofus standing on the varnished deck in his black work boots.

    Jeezus.
