I wanted no part of that madness. Not worth the aggravation and stress. . Walked the street party thurs. Drank beer and watched hockey all weekend. 



PTSD from the House Boat still?There’s at least four rdp members that got hit this weekend.. couple on the rdp fb as well.
Absolutely insane..
There’s a reason I watch the shootout on the big screen..

We did similar ran boat Tuesday and Thursday am walked the street fair Thursday afternoon and stayed away from the shit show the rest of the weekend hit Bluewater Friday night and pool and bbq Saturday. As tank mentioned in another post we usually miss Desert storm cause of spring break schedules but this year it worked out enjoyed seeing the boats but glad didn’t launch and get in the chaos.I wanted no part of that madness.

Yeah absolutely, when you live here or have a pad out here you can cherry pick the best water days and can sit out the duds. I did 2 years in a row of desert storm and fucked winds .. the curse is real .. lolWe did similar ran boat Tuesday and Thursday am walked the street fair Thursday afternoon and stayed away from the shit show the rest of the weekend hit Bluewater Friday night and pool and bbq Saturday.

We went through the channel twice this weekend. Both times I’ve never been so stressed driving a boat in my life. 100% chaosThis was our first DS in 4 years. 4 years ago I swore I’d never be back. Lake looked like the 405 total shit show everywhere so I was like I’m over this shit. It’s as bad as 4th of July or memorial (which we avoid like the plague too)
Against better judgment, we went this year because my kids had spring break this weekend were begging to go. So, I was like fuck it. We’ll try it again.
We had fun for sure. But most of the fun was when we were out about alone or cruising around with my buddy Justin. Pirates was ok on Friday and Saturday we sat in a cove out by 3 dunes with a couple other boats but way chill. So, good weekend. But DS event itself? Meh. Not impressed. Street show is like walking the county fair. It’s packed and loud and a mess. The lake during the poker run is a mess. and while the wind doesn’t really bother me at all when we’re running, docking anchoring in it sucks
And The channel? Jesus, we ran back from the cove Saturday around four ran around the island and started to cruise through the channel…FUUUUUH! Bad choice. Turned around half way through and went back out. It was grid lock and dipshittery EVERYWHERE.
So, again, I’m done with DS. catch me in another 4 years and maybe I’ll brave it again but probably not. lol. For us it’s all about SCFW for life!!!![]()

I was thinking about you out there, Brother! I remember me driving my buddies 35 on a windy day, all that bow up front is like an unwanted bow thruster with the wind! Scared the shit out of me.This was our first DS in 4 years. 4 years ago I swore I’d never be back. Lake looked like the 405 total shit show everywhere so I was like I’m over this shit.
