Great pics and fantastic hobby, Rodrigohand6.gif.

By the way, what watch were you wearing for the tournament?

When my fangs and incisors get trimmed, I'll post my own pix toosubtlelaugh.gif

No watch or wedding ring while skiing. Not good for the watch, as many seals might not be able to resist a 60 MPH impact against water (or the crystal to resist a hard impact with the ski on a fall). But, more important, if tangled in the rope it can lead to losing the watch or even peeling your hand off... Engine on the boats we use are V8 5.7-6.0, ranging between 340 and 420 HPs...

Yep, the engines are pretty powerful.

Linking waterskiing with time, competition boats have a GPS based speed control that is far more sophisticated than the ones in cars. It samples speed 20 times per second to compensate for any pull variance from the skier and adjust speed.

At 55 KPH (34.2 MPH), the exact time to go thru the competition course (259 m) is 16.95 seconds. The system keeps the time almost always @ 16.95 and never below 16.94 or over 16.96, regardless of how strong the skier is, wind, etc...

I thought I would ressurect this post with an updated photo...

This is a picture of me and my youngest on scout camping trip last weekend.



We were camping in the Osceola National Forest in North Florida. We are standing on a, 86 foot long, land bridge on the Florida Trail. Our troop built this bridge a year ago for an Eagle Scout project. Both, Samuel and I, helped to build this bridge. This camping trip was our first chance to go back and see it. If you look closely below my right knee you can see the plaque that we put on the bridge this year.

Overall it was pretty cool to see what we built standing strong! ThumbsUp02.gif

BTW - If your interested I am wearing my Suunto Core and my son is wearing his Luminox Black Ops

I replied to the Mug Shot section a few months ago - let me know and I'll tranfer across here.

BTW, brother, I hail from Crete. Chania is one of the most beuatiful places in the world (well, I would say that) but also one of the hottest in August. Your feet must have been steaming in those motorcycle boots!

It's a nice place but after a week, I missed home! Hehehe
It was from 38 celsius to 22 during the day.
I wear Addison safety toe boots there: Been wearing similar boots the last 24 years and I love it.
Yes, it's hotter than sandals but those Addison never leave you down...

Haha, fair enough - you can never beat home; wherever it may be. I suppose the octopus were scared sh*tless seeing you coming in your Addison's...
