[QUOTE="Lawdog, post: 134748, member: 2729"] Well, today I burned some vacation and took my wife for a day on the water in some of my favorite country. I'm pleased to say that everything went great, except the 16-22 mph wind that pushed us around a bit when we tried to float. Water levels in my part of the world are mighty shallow right now, so we ran in some thin stuff. Ran a good part of the day in 8-12 inches of water. Trick here is you gotta keep her on plane when it gets shallow. I'm learning to grit my teeth, brace for the worst and drive right over stuff. When you're on the throttle, it's surprising what you can go through. Anyway, time for some pics. Here it is in a back channel we drove into. [img]https://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll470/rangerez/IMG_0846.jpg[/img] Nice place for a picnic spot, don't you think? [img]https://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll470/rangerez/IMG_0843.jpg[/img] You need to come in here slowly. Dog is looking for ducks.
