They are a bit more than 20ft, but they don't come into play too much. They make a ton of snow there because it is so steep, a bunch of snow gets pushed down from skiers "plowing"?:dunno

Looking like a beauty of a day

[rschap1]

Hope so for everyone there.
Be safe.
Enjoy !!!!!!!!

[Handi Cap 30]

well

whats going on at the the wrinkle fest.:)

[Wrinkleface]

Basically BT did not happen( as far as the actual run)! Boats made it across Lake Char!! Stuck noses out in Lake MI &. Turned around!! I stuck my nose out & took water over the front at idle!! So did numbats B3!! Monster swells !! About 5 boats made the first 2 card stops & back 4 lunch!! I think Bob lost all Marshall boats on Lake MI!! Mother Nature is all powerful!!:whiteflag

[cfm]

Did boats go further than where you turned around ?

[Apollard]

Hmm... weather maps showed 4 footers. Bet Rob's mom would have run it :laff

[snowhammer]

I will attest to the fact that it wasn't just what the waves measured, but they were tight together and windblown. Very small craft were bobbing up and down, but anything of size was having the bow blown around or stuffed into the next wave. Thanks to the volunteers, organizers and participants who made the most of it. Other than wind and waves, the weather was great!

Thats when it is better to be on plane and stay on top of the waves. :)

Ha, the driver didn't know how to play the wind. At one point I turned the flag over for the boats to see the green and the gang from New York in the MTI held up a sign that read "Nice Move":rollsmile

That was us......we knew to follow the golden arches crew even though the flag was white for most of the staging.

That is a beautiful Nortech and I like the colors. Tried to stay out of the sheen which seemed to trail that one also. Haha

Awesome event and we plan to return. Sorry we did not to put faces to each of the usual suspects around here but happy to have met Dr.Pete, Blue Oval plus some others. The entire Boyne committee and community should be very proud of what they have created; a top-notch event.

All seemed friendly until later Saturday night when I was informed that town is just not big enough for two "Kelly O's".....so we packed up and left at first light.:bow

Thanks to all for a memorable weekend.

The White family home from 1908. They were a a lumbering family from town that were very successful in their day. The house is up the street from the dealership. It was ready to be knocked down. With the help of our Mainstreet Programs they were able to get some grants and restore the house. It will be having a open house this week. I posted this on the Boyne Thunder page just to show the cool improvements that they help do in this town. I know some people question what Boyne Mainstreet is when they see the name with Boyne Thunder. The house will offer apartments for people over the age of 55 with low income.
