FAMILY FUN DAY ON THE LAKE (CRUISE)

  • At times on a weekend we will have the pleasure of the whole family out at the beach at the same time.  Of course we can not accommodate all of them over night, but a few of them are campers and have trailers etc. But we do have a few on board.  And our Daughter Wendy and her husband Murray also have a runabout.  So when the gang is all together we usually make a day of it out on the lake, with both boats.  Using "Thunderbird" as home base and "Baby Bird" for water sports.

Blake tries water skies, but soon gives up and goes back to wake boarding.  He thinks our old fashion water skiing is dumb. 
 
 
It's a lovely way to spend a summer day even if it was a little overcast, the weather was warm and so was the company.   
 
 
It is great to have the Thunderbird as a base to ski from, as you can be, way out on the lake and away from all the boat traffic and even the Sea-Doos.  But some how those idiots always seem to find us. 
 
They love to follow the ski boat and cut back and forth over the wake and they give little regard for the skier.  When they come around we usually shut it down until they leave.  Otherwise it's far to dangerous. 
 
 
 
IT'S GREAT FUN WITH NO SEA-DOOS AROUND
