Maybe I can get out there to hang out. SAW's are cool even if you have nothing record worthy. Although.......if I make the brat run something. Hmmmm

Had a tough day at the lake, both the floats that mark our transmitter mounts in the lake were gone, we found one but were there til 9pm and couldn't find the other. With all that we didn't get the buoys in either.

All that to say we still have some work to do but will do some testing in the morning then get back at at. We'll post here when we get it all set up, worst case we will be able to run oval only.

​All sorted out, nice day for tomorrow, come on out and play!

After not being at Thread Lake for a year the weekend threw us a couple curve balls but we prevailed and had a few small windows to run, air wasn't great tho at 1550' and 90 gpp.

Thanks again to the F.A.S.T. crew and especially Dave Murany for all his help, his new 20 SAW boat looked great for the first time out.

See you for the second half of our double header May 18/19 with a backup the following weekend.
