So what do I say when I get pulled over towing the boat for 14 hours each direction? Doing research on how long COVID-19 lasts on gel coat at 75mph?

I’d make a sign that says “covid19” and just point and cough when the policeman walks up.

besides, it’s only 5ish hours I think to Milwaukee.

Ah yeah, about 6 hours from my house to Milwaukee.

Buddy sent me this earlier. Ice just went out in northern WI.

Got out the other day for the first time after shoulder surgery.  Some how I actuality ran 3@ 32.4 twice.

Nippy morning with a little steam rolling off the lake surface. Air temp 47 and water temp 68.

[UWSkier]

First day back on the water in 3 months yesterday... And I skied accordingly. Sore in spots I didn't know I had this morning.

Glass is hard to ride in on a Hydrofoil if your inverting. Can't judge the surface when coming out of the sky and never know when your going to contact wings.  Still fun to ride though, only had that problem 0ne time in many years riding. Same reason the diving pools put a slight ripple on the surface of the water.

It can be hard to slalom to peak potential on glass also. It's a bit harder to feel what the ski is doing under you and sense exactly where your feet are on mirror water. But it's still crazy fun. I prefer just a slight ripple to get a little extra feedback.

Cat's paws is the best.  Just does not make for great pics.

Glassy with a setting moon.

So to all you that live full time on a lake, especially one that is generally busy.... how do you deal with morning like this?

That is what my wife did.... well she took a vacation day

[Hemmy]

Waited for the skiers to finish up and then it was my turn to surf. Nobody else on the lake at 9:00 am on a Saturday. Perfect surfing morning.

Cool!  Thanks for being considerate. Uncommon.

[ahopkins22LSV]

Morning glass. All of us seemed to forget how to ski over the weekend though.

A little wind ripple in there.
