Some more fun at Snatchems (Lancaster)

A huge tide on the River Lune had attracted many people from pwcforum.co.uk out for a day of fun, our ski was running great after its repair and service in-fact better than ever. The water was still cold at just above freezing but at least the sun was out shinning but sadly a young lad got into difficulty wearing only a "shorty" wetsuit, its a good job Rod was there to rescue him.
Nat also managed to get some shots of the guys wake-boarding from Rods boat and we managed to get some decent video footage between us.

Expensive Service

Took the ski serviced at Power-sport in Failsworth today which cost around £160 quid -- not to bad.

However

The impeller is totalled
Wear ring has a huge gap in it
My pump is oval

I knew there was something wrong on new years day as it wouldn't pull as good as it used to, speedo was getting 49 at a when normally i can get 60

£715 not including service
New impeller
New Ring
Aluminium pump to replace plastic one

Rod's video from new years day

Rod had filmed a video from his mobile phone showing his friends wake boarding from his boat, but if you look closely you will see my dad on our ski following them in the distance

New year fun at Snatchems (Lancaster)

After over 8 weeks of not using the ski due to bad luck with tides, weather and work shifts we got invited by a guy called Rod to an annual event held on new years day in which skiers and boater would meet up for some fun on the water and a few beers afterwards. With air temperatures of -4 and water temperature of 0.5 degrees the drysuits me and my dad purchased came in very handy. Sadly everyone else who wore wetsuits got were not quite as warm as us two, and spend most of the day on Rods boat. Again everyone including Tom from work had a fun day and afterwards we went into the pub for some food and drinks.
