As always a great outing, I really had a good time. Plus the weather held out, not a lot of wind either. I could only get 17 mph (gps) out of the Homelite. Going get that taken care of before the March 21st outing. Thanks guys for not letting me lag too far behind. Here are a few of the pictures I got.

Despite breaking down at the end of the slough we had an awesome time!
It was great to finally meet some of you personally and see some of your boats up close. Knowing what we did to our freebee I feel sorry for Brian as the bottom of that beautiful little boat probably looks like the bottom of mine. Bumped over a lot of things but the grounding on the gravel bar with the GPS reading 26 mph drove rocks through the intake screen and locked things up. Brian was right behind us and saw what was happening but made the wrong choice of direction and grounded hard enough to have to get out to free himself. Working the flywheel back and forth freed ours up enough to reach Lake Washington but it started acting up so we headed back to the ramp at Kenmore and called for our trailer. Sorry to miss the end though. Barry

We made it!

Cole and I got up this morning and the weather man said it was going to stay dry until the afternoon, so we decided to run up to Issaquah. The original plan was just to run across Sammamish to the fish wier and then turn back. But it looked so calm, and Dick Dow said the willows had been cut back... Four and a half hours later we made it to Coulon park! So much for a plan. It was a great way to literally break in the little Playmaster. We ran over the fish wier, ripped the windshield brackets off in the willows, and followed Barry (Sparrowhawk) into 2" of water on a rock bar at 24-26 MPH. The boat was built to be used though...I built it once, it can be rebuilt. Actually, we made it without any major damage. The bottom has a few nicks, but no holes. The impellor seems to have spit out all the rocks and ran great on the trip from Kenmore to Renton. I ran out of gas just past the 520 bridge, and switched to the reserve portion of the tank. There was just enough fuel to get me within 400 yards of the docks at Coulon! Thanks to Tom from Oregon, we only floated for 2 minutes before he dropped off enough to get us the rest of the way. We had a great day, with some great friends and Cole has a story for school on Monday that will beat all the other "what did you do this weekend" stories! Thanks again to everyone that helped us and made the day such a blast!

Here`s some more shots......
Got to get my GreenCbox together for this one next year.....If Brian can feel good about using his Classic then I can surely do it without a total loss.
Some skin damage I can live with.......speaking of which,kudos to member Chuck Bauer who pedaled to the Slough to view the action,only to go down hard on the Traintracks right above the ramp.Just a Flesh wound!
Seeing the boys "Drift" thru the last turn above the Trestle was worth the long boat ride from Renton.
Team Johnson,Team Flaherty and the smallest boat in the field,John Nelson in his Alum cartopper powered by a 3 hp Johnson.Thanx for the Cookies Team Nelson!
