After a few loops about the lake and becoming comfortable operating the boat, we began to see if I had indeed master the skills to operate the craft. Taylor, first with his solo ski on instructed me to hit the throttle and at 30 mph back off and settle in at a cruising speed of 33 mph. Hey, right! Off we went. Oh, now you tell me about the perfect pass setting. Okay this isn't so difficult.
Taylor was able to enjoy the early morning slightly calm lake has he moved from his ski, to wake board and finishing up on the surf board. Hey wait a minute where's the photo of Captain Jeff, Master of the Helm? Hm, my photography crew may be heading for a brusin.
This evening, I venture out onto the river to enjoy some fly fishing. This evening's fishing demostrates my abilities as a fisherman. I hooked one pig of a trout and landed another pig. Hm, the pig I landed has two hooks... hey that is my fly that the first pig took when he snapped my tippet. Yup, that's right, I hooked a fish that snapped my line and so I grabbed another fly and "Fish On!" was the cry.
Best of all I got my first fly back and my pig was let go for another day of fishing.
Hey, it would have been nice to have a photo of my pig. I tried reaching my photo crew by radio but some lame excuse that the battery had died was all I got.
So you'll just have to enjoy photos of my son surfing here and yes, I'm the captain creating the perfect wake for him to surf. I'm sorry, everyone will just have to believe that I am the Master of the Helm and a grand fisherman.

From the photography crew..."Hey buster! Be glad I didn't fall in the lake with your crazy driving. I was busy trying to photograph the true talent in the boat, hold my orange flag(which was really an orange doggie vest) without dropping the camera in the lake." All the "Captain" had to do was throw down the throttle and put it in "cruise control" ! Not too picture worthy. I hope you will all take note of the very fine photos that I did get! Thank you very much! As for the picture of the fish...yea, yea, yea...I've heard that story before...he was THIS BIG! Even if the battery had worked on the radio, there was too much brush to witness this miracle! XOXO
Geez I would of loved to seen this!! Glad you both got out with Tay and enjoyed the day!! xo
Sounds like you had a great day!!1
