42' Tiger on a fun run

**314joey** · 09-17-2013, 11:40 AM

A little video from when we went on a fun run on our friends 42' Tiger last year, it has 525s, that's a 38' PP running next to us, I think we're running in the mid 80s.

Btw Joey, how many miles across is LOTO?

The Lake at it's widest part is probably less than one mile wide (averages maybe 2000'-2,500'), the main channel is 100 miles long from dam to dam, but there's 1,200 miles (that's a lot BTW) of shoreline, hundreds and hundred of quiet coves.

Biggest man-made lake in the Midwest. it has something like 10K houses on it, it's beautiful, if you ever get a chance to go, take it, you won't be disappointed.

Bagnell Dam and the Lake was flooded in the mid-thirties, at the dam it's 100' deep.

Well now you're talking why we bought a place in Florida, here's our house at LOTO in the Summer and in the Winter, one is beautiful and one sucks, you pick out which is which lol.

And this is why we bought a house down here, LOTO is great from May until September, but then it by-by for us from now on, we're snow birds.

And, yes, that's my neighbor cutting ICE with a gas powered chainsaw.

Hard to sit still when you're going so fast!

Once you get warm it's hard to go back.

I was using my regular camera, it wasn't a gopro, so it's not the best vid, but you get the idea, yea, it's more comfortable for me to stand.

Four Seasons is a nice resort, there's bars every five miles on the Lake, it is amazing Lake, but winters do suck, maybe get together next summer.
