Ride with Friends 2020-08-16
That was a blast. The GPR hit 81 in the not so smooth salt. I would tell you why I think it goes faster than it should, but I won’t. Simple mod to exceed 77 mph.
The water was bright emerald green. Lots of Sand Dollars for the Ladies to collect on Johnson Shoal.
River Ride 2020-08-06
I saw a squirrel and decided to go for a ride. Met some new friends Mike & Carry (sp). Rode north to the Franklin Lock and Dam, back down to the Cape and Picnic island. Top speed on the GPR was 83 MPH (gps)
Day Trip to the Beach 2020-07-31
Today was almost a perfect day on the water and beach. While it was HOT, the water was clean and about 90 degrees. The Gulf side was absolutely awesome, almost no surf at the beaches, Johnson Shoal was crystal clear. Heidi had a sustained 65 mph! I topped out the GPR at 77 mph. Need a Solas prop to get to 83 mph. Fun, missed y’all.
Quick Ride to Cayo Costa Lagoon 2020-07-26
Decided to go on a quick trip to the beach on Cayo Costa. Perfect day, beat the t storms. Got the GPR to 75mph in the semi rough. Heid was hauling @$$ as well.

Cayo Costa Lagoon 2020-07-12
Tried to go out on Friday, weather was sucky. Saturday, I was too lazy. Sunday, the weather was perfect. Ten mph breeze from the west. Met some new people as always and traded info so we can ride another day.
Went out and did doughnuts and hauling in Pine Island Sound. Then made a trip out to Boca Grande Inlet. yikes. The rollers were quite big, probably 5-6 feet. Turned around so my new riding friend would’nt get rolled over in the shark infested waters.
All in all, was an awesome day chill’n at the lagoon with Heidi and our new friends.
