Kind of becoming a New Years Day tradition for me. They have been holding a barefoot water skiing tournament at our marina every New Years Day - regardless of weather - for some 20+ years. This year was one of the warmest, it was in the 60's, last year was one of the coldest in the mid 20's. Here are some pictures of the scene - my boat is locked up in that big building, so I didn't get to see it. Love the ski towboats - the towboat was a Sanger Barfooter - it was used for the World Barefoot Championships in Ontario Canada earlier this year. The boat's owner was there and participated - apparently they pre-sell these towboats, the boat has a number of tournament commitments, then the owner takes delivery. He towed the boat down PA for the tournament yesterday. There was also a Ski Nautique and a couple of Malibu's tooling around.

Awsome!!!

When I lived in Charlotte, we would ski down by the power plant on New Years Day.
 
Be back down next week but the weather looks like it is going to be much colder...
