Love that video ATD, great edit w/ the music overlay! Also love the Whaler, looks to be a "Rockland" 13SS, best 13's ever made, (had the same one - with a 40hp - on the lake as a kid). The spotter thing kills me, give it up people, it was a perfectly clear sunny day, in April, with NO ONE ELSE ON THE WATER, anywhere! He wasn't being reckless, he wasn't hurting anyone or running over a family of Loons, he was having some fun, life is short, lighten up folks!
I have LOTS of great memories from summers on the lake as a kid and adult, not all involved going to Our Lady Of Victory in Ctr. Harbor for Sunday Mass. I worked for one of the marinas in the channel some years ago (90's era) during school breaks, summer and winter. We were prepping some new boats for a boat show in Boston one January winter and I got to run one up and down the channel - as the rest of the lake was frozen solid - WOT. Not too many people can say they have done that, it was a (freezing-cold) blast, and NO ONE / no-thing got hurt or negatively impacted during that. The lake used to be such a different place, everyone respected everyone else, you got the friendly wave all the time, you could do things like this and not illicit the stink-eye from others. Today everyone feels they have some sort of "obligation" to speak up and be the rule police. Jeesh...
