A new (to me) ride of a different kind...

Just pick up a 1975 Glastron Tri-Hull Bowrider in extremely good condition. Went in halves with my father in-law. It also has a newer outboard on it. All we had to do was change out the impeller and everything worked out great on it. Took it out on the bay last night to see how it handled. Very smooth riding boat. Looking forward to getting more bass and halibut fishing done in the bay and catfish at the river!
The Maritime Museum on San Diego Bay. On the left is the HMS Surprise, used in the move Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, and on the right is the world's oldest active ship Star of India (which is also were my parents had their first date).
Aircraft Carrier USS Midway, now a museum.
Downtown San Diego skyline.
On the way into the dock Mike took the Captain's seat while I relaxed on the bow. Unfortunately, at one point along the way he suddenly realized we were quickly approaching a large wake and cut the throttle, which caused the bow to plow into the oncoming swell. All I could think was "No!"
as I watched, in what seemed like slow-motion, a wall of water come up over the bow and completely soak me! Yeah, they got a good laugh out of that one.
