Green Lake Reunion Update w/ Photos

Tim,

He's actually my sister-in-laws fiance. Just easier to say brother-in-law!!!! Anyway I told him about this thing months ago and to put it on their calendar. They know people that live on GL so they figured they would come up for the day. He called as soon as he was loaded and on their way back home and just raved about all you guys!!! I specifically told him he needed to see your boat with the stuff you've done to it. He said he met MM and Blondie, Reid, and he could'nt even remember everyone. Both him and my sister-in-law just couldn't stop taking about "Allyaall".

I was really glad to hear that they got to hook up with you guys. I knew that they would have a blast. He's even talking about getting on the forum and planning for next year too!!!!

Well anytime you guys want to stop by the house will throw the old BFN in the water, 4 man deep up no problems for sure.

If I recall it had you guys out of the water the lake was just a little to rough for you to stay up. Don't get me worng she does still leave a little bit to be desired coming out of the hole. But I plan on fixing that very soon.

I give you guys a big hand for making it up footing in that rough chop.

I convinced the lovely Courtney there that this old boat only had a 3 gallon fuel tank, so she wouldn't wonder why I kept coming back so often to refuel.

I ate stuff both times Tim. Queener went the longest on the first run, and didn't get off his training wheels on the second. It's not his fault however, we were out of skis.

In this pic you can clearly see Johnny is on his barefeet while Tim and I are ready to step. I don't know how, but Quinner pulled it off.

It would have been more impressive if it pulled us out of the water without resorting to combos It sure had a nice table though! Quinner and HW each rode it out once. Watching Chris fight those 3' rollers at 40 mph on a kneeboard was good entertainment!

That was the coolest site watching you guys coming in hot through the sand bar. Jame's BFN was absolutely roaring around the corner. I recall Hollywood as the last man standing. That was pure entertainment.

Reid, you need to get a bikini shot of the gas pump girl for the calendar when you go back to pick up the boat. Afterall, without her none of us would have been able to make it out to the sandbar. Dave, Alan, and Keith did a spectacular job, but let's not forget to give her some credit too...

Did anyone find out which gas girl has the blackbelt? I asked the cutie above and she just laughed and said that's what her boyfriends for. Think Mojo was messing with us to keep us on good behavior or what?

Ken, Karen took a multi on that one. Will post when the 16 yr. old will do the photobucket thing.Can't teach an old dog new tricks.......We have 500 shots to look thru and post the best.
What a great time had by all,sorry that the rest of this site missed on such a grand time.......boat dr/boat nurse

Quinner can just kill the fish with the sound system for the fishers.

I seemed to have dodged the camera once again ha.


Josh

I heard quinner's truck had some offensive messages written on it... can't wait to see those pictures.

Reid, I know you are used to real big water but don't jump right in to the GL area. Don't get me wrong as it is nice but there are also some even nicer spots in Wis. in my opinion. My up north house is in Three lakes Wis. and we are on a chain of lakes of 28 which range in sise from about 175 to 2000 acres. It is damed on my end (18 lakes) but does have a boat lift over it. It is not a reservoir so water levels always stay at a plus or minus of 4". It is a perfect size for our size of boat. Unless it is a holiday weekend and someone has trailered in a boat, I never see anything over 22' with the exception of a few deck boats and pontoons. We do however get the damn tubers but that is everywhere!!

Reid thats awesome .

I am glad you all made it back ok . Sounds like you had a nice trip over to see JBear .
If he cant make it to GL then take GL to him . I bet he apreciated it .

M/Miller and Marshall

OK, Josh above beat me to it, but we finally made it back just an hour ago, and boy are we beat. So I won't even try to thank anyone in particular for fear of missing someone, as everyone that partook has a great idea as to what all went in to it and what we all took away. Incredible. I tried my best to shake every hand, hug every neck, and give a big thumbs up to everyone I could. Without a single doubt, this surely goes down as one of the best boating weekends of my life. So thanks to everyone as I'm indebted! I can't wait til next year and even if it's in Alaska, we'll be there.

Moving on: We'd have been home earlier, but Josh, Laurie, Mark and Lisa, Boaty and Skipper and myself all dodged the banjo music and stopped in Tennessee to see Jbear. The stories we had to tell him only sunk him deeper into depression over missing the event. He'll probably seek professional help after he sees all these photos. His lake there is great with some really pristine boating. I'll surely go back as it's only about 4 hrs from us.

We liked Green Lake sooooo much we decided to leave the camper, truck, and one boat up there, and all piled in Rodney's motor home for the ride back. Shoreline Marine, (same owners as the Marina and really nice people) provided indoor storage for everything for a whopping $75/mon. So I'm flying back at least two more times to hopefully get a better view of the area beyond my tandem bike beaten path from the campground to the Goose Blind. I just can't let it go.
