It was 4 weeks ago when we were all in Parker cruising up to Foxs on Marty Leonard?s #22 Schiada. Everything was great? until it wasn't! The freshly built twin turbo decided it didn't want to be a part of ski racing anymore just 1 month before we were scheduled to road trip to Seattle for the Bolt on the Blue Water ski Races. And then the boat Gods (aka Hammer) came and sent us ?The Hamlet? to use as our replacement boat for the trip!
After 4 weeks of preparation, we were ready to go! Our road trip started at 3:30am, leaving from San Diego and heading for Napa.
Meeting Up w/ Hammer in Santa Clarita for a last minute look at the boat and Good Luck send off!
After 5 hours of driving, a quick Pit Stop through the grapevine at the Iron Skillet for breakfast.
4 more hours of driving through cow country and we've arrived!
Getting our camp for the night set up at SkyLine Wilderness Park
First Wine Tasting Room: Eleven Eleven Winery
2nd Stop: Wine Tasting at the Wine Thief in Downtown Napa, while waiting for Team Angry Bird to arrive.
Party Marty down for the count after 8 hours of driving and a few tastings!!
Team Angry Bird Arrives and after BBQing, cocktails and talking water ski racing for a couple hours, it?s time to hit the hay.
As quickly as we came in, we?re heading out at 7am to continue the trek.
