First Trip To Redmond, Washington

It has taken 33 years, but I can now say that I have been to the west coast! I recently had the opportunity to visit perhaps one of the most beautiful States in America. Not to mention the kind people that live there too. I arrived there 08/02/2006 around 2:30 a.m, and a buddy picked me up at 5:30 a.m. for some early morning wake boarding to help prepare me for my busy business day:) Now being from Florida, the early morning temperature was a bit chilly, even for early August. Since I had never been wake boarding before, I was challenged with name calling to be the first one in the chilly lake. Even though it was cold, I was able to get up a couple of times though.

One of the guys wake boarding decided to hit this head on. He was able to walk away:)

Was glad to have you Bayer. It was a blast watching you "surfing" behind my boat. By the way, the water was perfect!

Are you kiddin'? Heck, that's late. The really good water is at 5:30 AM. That's when the really hard core guys get out there. Most of them are the people that live on the water. Nah, people that move there on the lake know that it's wakeboard/slalom/boating central. It's part of the gig. The really noisy guys are the jetskis and float planes. Hey, it's a public lake. I know several families that live on the lake and they understand it's just part of the deal, sort of like the el in Chicago. :)
