Slalom Course at GL

Am I bringing the slalom course up to GL? Do we have a spot to deploy it? Not to sound like a total ass but it is a pretty big hassle to bring it if we don't use it. It takes up half the boat with PVC, anchors, buoy bags, and rope. I'm MORE THAN HAPPY to bring it but I want to make sure we get a chance to use it if that's the case. We could probably toss it into Norwegian bay somewhere but with GL lake traffic it would have to be very early AM. Thoughts? Suggestions? I don't care either way.

Keith, that would be sweet. I know there's a bay on the other side of the lake as well that used to have a course but I think it's a haul to get there from NB. Maybe we could have a temporary no-wake restriction on the bay or something. That time we went out slalom skiing in NB we had probably the biggest waves I've ever skied in! IIRC that was around 9-10 AM or so.

Oh, if there's a permanent course than that's even better.

Joel, Alan is right, NB is the last place to drop a course in. If you plan to do this early am, the best place to ski is in the South bay, directly across from the Heidle House. The main thing objective is to get out of the wind. This bay is a 2 minute shot from the main pier or a 5 second shot from the East public launch.

IIRC The past 2 yrs the wind was always consistently out of the west, the only reasonable water we found was on the west end of the lake and even that was marginal at best. The best water I saw all weekend was in NB on the opposite side of the reeds which sounds to be a non option, we did not even try to ski there in the AM out of concerns with shallow water.
It will be interesting to see what Keith finds out with the Sheriff however.

On Saturday afternoon I was hoping to perhaps do some multi-person BF passes like last year and also build some pyramids, maybe even some Hydrofoil sets as well, plus we need to create a boat with skier(s) race or competition.

As long as it doesn't interfere with my kneeboarding, I'll try it.

This skiing junk isn't going to conflict with the tubing is it ???

Great Pete I'll feel like I'm back home on the Fox. Did you get my PM message?

Gary, Are you below the dam at Port Edwards? Our Blackhawk ACBS chapter is having it's annual Father's day cruise from 176 (Turn Key Classics) down to Port Edwards and back after eating. I've done it several times and am thinking about it again. I'd stop and say hello but of coarse that depends on which side of the dam you're on!!

Gary, My going on the cruise is up in the air at this point. If I do go, I'll make sure you'll be around. It would be nice to stop at meet you. If not, GL isn't that far away! Don't stay home on the 22nd just because I may be going.

If Joel brings the course, I'll run it for sure; on the shot-ski! But that's only after I run thru it on the SkiScat, then the Super SkiScat, then the old EP Comp X2, which I still ski on. But unlike Matt above, I want 25 "on" at 28, and reeeeally calm water.
