Did the lower river run yesterday. 120 plus miles round trip of beautiful lower river. It’s a beautiful area that is that’s extremely shallow. Basically sand bars every few hundred yards that you snake through as you make your way down the river. Boat count was great. I hear 79 outboards and 3 jets was the count.

7:30 am launch at Mc Intyre in Blythe.

Had a FANTASTIC day riding with Rick in his 28 Skater yesterday. It's a 1994 that looks damn near brand new. Thanks to Dan for buying lunch @ Rio City, great food. 135 miles & hit 110 mph with 3 people. His boat is dialed with 38 gallon ballast tank & trim tabs for rough water. What a pleasure to ride with a true offshore champion. Water got rough after we passed Rio Vista on the way back, went from legit 2-3' to much bigger, so we hung a left & cut thru 3 mile slough & back to Pittsburg. Wiped it down then had the "pleasure" of a jet boat guy coming over to tell us about his mail order bride from Vietnam.........

“Sweet Sixteen” , Bully’s New DW 32’, just ran a 134 mph today with Bully at the helm. ....still has 35 lbs water pressure, going up another 1/16th. Bully’s goal: 140 mph.
I’m in love with the predictable feel of the new DW. Even north of 130 it’s on rails ! That’s not an easy task when you have the CG so far back. Nice consistent progression in the top end number as well. I’m not in a rush to find out where it’ll top out. Not the right time of year for that anyway. Density altitude even when it’s cool is 3000+ .

I had a ton of fun! Man that water is sketchy in some areas. Look forward to doing it again next year.
