Hate to see it mess up plans, but rain there is kind of a rare event. Probably still manage to make your trip between showers.
I'm driving 200 miles to go wakeboarding at Roosevelt this morning, hope the rain gods smile on me. :D

Right after the sandbar left hand turn is where my fuel pump really started to crap out. I started to lose it as soon as we hit those big rollers leaving the no wake zone in the gorge. I was gonna stop and drench when you did but was worried if I shut it down it wasn't coming back.

BTW, interesting line you took heading south. Never seen anyone hug the island that much.

Have fun and get more pics

That is one good looking 24 you have there Steve. I've never really been a fan of Halletts from back in the day when I went in to look at them(long story). Yours looks great.
