As much as Tim runs his boat, I don't think he or his family will want to idle 9 miles out/in every weekend.

I think that may have been Aquapalooza. Not sure if it was last summer or back in 08. You were probably there.
It was a good day :thumbsup:
How big do I need to go on my next boat to get 3 babes on the bow? I'm thinking of upgrading.
Now Tim, are you gonna make us start calling you "Wakevus44"?
You pulled out of HMI once and made a turn to the right about 40' off my starboard bow while I was on the hook. You were only going about 4 kts and your wake damed near made me spill my drink. I yelled at ya on the radio, but you must not have heard me. I thought you were just passin' close by to catch a look at the two blondes that were layin' on my bow.
At any rate... slow down, partner. You're working with some serious tonnage there. Give us little guys a break. :grin:
Re: the nine mile ride to the bay... the 6 mile per hour zone ends about a mile from Skipjack... do people not boogie down the river from that point on? I know the river is narrow and my wake is big, but I don't make the rules. What's the prevailing local practice?
Now that's what I wanted to hear! Otherwise Marylou lied to me when we were looking at the place. See you in the Spring.Yes, typically people open it up once they're past the no wake zone. The Sassafras does widen a bit another two miles or so, so sometimes we have to throttle back in that area if there's a lot of wake from other traffic.
Sorry man!
She don't go any slower than 4 knots.
I've only been to HMI once, so I'm guessing this was Aquapalooza 2008? That whole place was one big wake!
That's why we left and ain't been back. No offense, just not my cup of tea.
Oh, and I probably was trying to get a closer look. That's the risk you take when putting those blonds up there!

We are at Cacaway frequently throughout the season. If you notice several Searays rafted up for the day or overnight, with several dogs, stop over for a Sangria.
For service, I've handled everything on my own other than shrinkwrap. But if I needed service, I'd probably take it to Sassafras Harbor Marina as I've heard stories that Skipjack isn't known as the best in the area for service.
Hey, we're on Kent Island, but have friends down on Tilghman and go there often. Maybe we'll see you this year. Merry New Year!

I'm at Tilghman on the Chesapeake, new to boating but would love to get to know other Sea Ray folks.
I'm going nuts waiting for spring. Spend my time reading charts and planning trips. Right at the moment Solomons Island, Smith Island and the C&D canal are on my list.
