Arrived at the lake early Thursday and left mid-day Saturday, passing the parade of boats and RVs going to the lake. Retirement is being able to enjoy telling others, "you should have been there yesterday, it was awesome" . 

Nope, we were on the other side of the island. The shallow 'party' cove on the north side is perfect for this type of hi-jinx, while the deeper, more protected bay on the south side is much better for anchoring. We were only a 100 yards from this, but a world away.jackdaw, is that you way back in the center passing your bota bag to that fine looking woman?
Good eye. The pink one to her left looked promising if we could have seen a bit more.blue swim suit on the left facing away gets my vote
I'm guessing better ones in HEREGood eye. The pink one to her left looked promising if we could have seen a bit more.
Do you have a better angle Jackdaw?
Haha, I picked that same one out in about .04 seconds. It was like she had pulled on a string attached to my eyeballs.blue swim suit on the left facing away gets my vote
I've never lit a flare much less fire one of those flare guns.Suggestion for Marine Authorities: Why not allow discharge of expired flares on July 4th? I have a box of these in my attic with no idea of how to dispose legally.
Maybe it is time in Greenport, NY for one of those CG Maxillary Safety days where you get to shoot a flare and jump in a life boat wearing a PFD...I've never lit a flare much less fire one of those flare guns.
OMG! A bunch of boats, a bunch of drunken boaters, a bunch of flares. What could possibly go wrong?Suggestion for Marine Authorities: Why not allow discharge of expired flares on July 4th? I have a box of these in my attic with no idea of how to dispose legally.
..... and then.... mayhem ensued......OMG! A bunch of boats, a bunch of drunken boaters, a bunch of flares. What could possibly go wrong?![]()
Can't you just imagine the high levels of beer infused urine in that gathering?Minnetonka yesterday. Party Cove. There are four rows of boats tied abeam. Each like 1/4 long. Oh the humanity.

Every year, nomally 1-2 weeks after the 4th of July.Well, I sorta like the "beer infused urine" thought. Just not while I'm in the water nearby, of course.
One wonders which ecstatic face in the photo is due to such a "release".![]()
