It was a very exciting weekend amongst those MLCAMLers who were there. Here are some highlights!
Greg made his first appearance of the year as he prepares for his prolonged exile at Baywatch. Oddly enough, chief among his concerns was internet access! This from a man who said to me"….f^*k, well, I don't know how to start an email from scratch, but I can reply to one that was sent to me…..". Hmmmmm?
Poolhouse housed a complete and total STAIN, who shall remain nameless, except to say it rhymes with Blob! There also appeared to be some sort of work going on over at Poolhouse, but I didn't get close enough to see exacxtly what was happening…..
Lakehead launched! Thanks to Baywatch for the use of his home…er, I mean his truck, and Poolhouse for providing the launch facility!
And the most exciting news of all….The Lodge picked and Launched their brand new 17', 90hp Legend named the "Emma Lee". Apparently it took a lot of work to get her into the water, but I didn't get close enough to see exacxtly what was happening, but it is in and she is a beauty. Ron was a little confused however, he had no idea where to spray the quick start to gett'er goin! Anyways, she rides like a dream with nary a sound……..even the radio is quiet!!
Less quiet was the Birthday celebration for Kerri that followed. It was a very special evening with the traditional cake and scotch! Through tears, Kerri said it was the best birthday ever...or something like that, I wasn't really listening.........good times!
CAPTAINS CORNER
Fresh off his his spring boat shows tour and with 2 of the MLCAML boats in the water and the rest soon to follow, Captain Drive Safely wishes to pass on some of his Boating safety tips to ensure everyone gets the absolute most enjoyment from there favourite activity involving liquid!!
Captain Drive Safely Safety Tips
- Ensure all cup holders, the drivers in particular, are clean and obstruction free.
- Be prepared! Always carry a surplus of beverages, you never know when you might have a spill or pick up some babes along the way. (or dudes)
- Plan ahead. When traveling by boat to a party, one is always well stocked for the trip over and the party itself, but do NOT forget about the trip home! Leaving a full beverage in the cup holder when you arrive is an easy way to ensure you have the "one more" you need when you hop aboard for the late night, long journey home!
- Speaking of the late night journey home…..just because it is dark, that is no reason to reduce speeds. Whether you are traveling fast or slow, it will remain dark! Since it is a known fact that the more time you spend on the water, the greater your risk of drowning, it only makes sense to always go fast and get the hell off the water and on to dry ground where it is safe!
- The amount of beer required to operate a power boat is directly and positively proportionate to the amount of horsepower of the vessel you intend to drive. 10hp requires 1 beer, 20hp-2 beer......90hp-9 beer......and so on.
- And always remember; canoes, kayaks and peddle boats are not really boats and therefore do not belong on our prestine lakes. If you should encounter any of these lake menace, pass them closely and at full throttle. This display of speed and power will be sure to leave the occupants of these "obstacles" in awe and may inspire them to get out of their death traps into the safety of a "liquid" powered wake maker
Scotch in your water, beer while you steer!!
