92xj Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 A week late getting this adverture up. This time the adventure came to me! We had our annual boat races on the river in town. A bunch of new buddys came and picked me up at 8am and we headed to the river. Got there and there were already tons of people but nobody was sitting right at the edge of the river so we took our chairs to the waters edge. All in all it was a good weekend. I love the sound and sights of speed and the river was full of both this weekend. Here are some pics and a few videos of the events. There was one HUGE crash that I got on video but some of the crowd around me let a slight dirty word slip out that was caught on video, so no posting it. If you want to see it, let me know and I can point you in the right direction on my photobucket. Its pretty insane. Anyhow, enjoy the pics of another weekend full of Adventure in Washington. Some random pics of the go fast boats.... The view of the river from our chairs sitting in the water.... Had a decent little air show during the races... This is one of the starts.... I love this sound.... Race Finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Great pics and videos Ben, was that a Bi-Plane that went for a bath in one of the videos? Nope, no plane went down. The only thing that crashed all weekend that I have video of is one of the race boats. I got the video on him when he was coming down from his double back flip!!!!

hammerforged Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yep - went back and watched it again after my second cup of coffee. Was the driver alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yep, he popped out of his break away cockpit within 10 seconds and was standing on the bottom of the boat before any rescue people made it to him. It could have gone a lot worse, but glad it didnt!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerforged Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ben - be sure and let me know when you come back east for the Holidays. We will have to get together and have a cup of coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Sounds good, Hopefully if all works out I will be in Georgetown Dec 23 which is a Wednesday to Sunday. Hopefully we will be able to meet up sometime. I will be hunting every morning I am down there, but in our wood duck honey holes, we will only be hunting for the first 45 seconds of shooting light then cleaning birds the rest of the morning. Then hopefully in a deer stand in the afternoon is I can find one. Once it gets closer and I figure out my scheldule I will let you know. Maybe we can meet half way somewhere on 17 for brunch. Would be awesome to meet up with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Heck I might even go down and hunt the Santee one morning. That would be pretty close to you, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerforged Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Nope - I am all the way up in the northwest corner. Up by Charlotte, NC. But I am down around Georgetown on a regular basis. I shoot with a bunch of guys down that way. Maybe you know one of them Harold (Bubba) Beal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Oh, I had you and Leo's location flipped flopped, he is down south of Gtown. Anyhow, I will be flying into Charlotte Tuesday morning before Xmas and then going to Gtown on Wednesday and should be getting back to Charlotte on Sunday to spend a couple of days at the folks house. We will figure something out once I know my scheldule. Hopefully it will work out, I am looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
