Rosemary and I both sing in the choir at Church, and we had the music minister and his family over for a day of water-sports. They are boat people and we had a ball with the children. Their girl is 7 and she is a natural boat person and rope person. She pulled in the tow lines without being asked. I thought that was amazing. The Dyne is fixed and ran great. We skied all afternoon and burned about 6 gallons of fuel. I was using pretty low power with mostly tubing and knee boarding. The skiers were all little people so I never got the throttle any more than cracked. Not bad for a 13 year old carb motor. jim
