Checkmate Weekend Chesapeake Bash 2012

wanted to say nice to meet you guys and put faces with the names. sorry we didn't make it back. I had more problems with the boat down there thenall the time that i have owned it. now i will be rebuilding a lower unit. thinking the end of the year might be time to put her down for a little bit. drop top, if you can send me your address I will ship you your throw cushion.

sim, What happened when you asked them people for a prop nut?
 
Home safe and sound!
Had a blast this weekend, big thanks to Ram for use of the big boat and bigger to jetmate for the delivery service. Nice to meet everyone and have a good time.

Pictures and poking to start soon,:rof:
 
Good to hear you made it home ok. Hopefully if I get some stuff squared away we will be back down the end of the season for the poker run.

knarloid needed a prop nut for his Yammie. So I paddle over in my kayak to where a bunch of boats are rafted together and one of them has twin Yammie 250's, another has a Yamaha something and they're attached to large 40-50 foot floating megapalaces. I'm figuring we are all brethren of the sea and I'm sure my as yet unmet seafarin' family will be more than happy to help.
Lot's of gooood lookin' babes in bikinis, bunches of tanned ubermuscle guys that you know aren't getting that way from honest labor (maybe if I was the local steroid dealer I'd be drivin' one of those babies too).
Lot's and lot's of banter, perfect, white teeth and blenders whirring out margaritas while subwoofers thump and then all of a sudden the revelry is shattered by some clown paddling over in an inflatable purple and green kayak.(me)
I'm feeling like the proverbial turd floating in the punchbowl trying to get the attention of the guy with two yammies but I figure my buddy needs a prop nut and it's worth trying to engage what I thought was the Russian Mafia to get one. Not just cause I'm a saint, I also happen to be a saint that very much wants to go water skiing NOW.
Owner is ignoring me as he gets ready for round 2 of a chin-up contest.
Other boats are either snickering, pointing or throwing beer cans (unopened at least) when finally one of the chin-up boys asks what I want. I explain and he offers to help by calling a few of the local marinas.
("no, no, none of us carries any spare engine parts") Tells me to hold on while he makes a call. Dials his phone and 20 minutes later is still on the same call chatting with somebody about something but certainly not prop nuts. I finally decide to just leave (having collected a few more unopened beers) and I've paddled halfway back to our crew when two gorgeous young women in bikinis who had been out on an extended swim from that other group ask if they can rest on my kayak because they are very tired.
Gentleman that I am I agree to assist and they hold on for a while while I offer them (their) beer and they unburden their souls whilst flashing cleavage and complaining to me about how shallow their friends are.

That's my story- not only am I sticking to it but I have witnesses.
 
let's try it again

And we all had to stop Sim from sneaking back over to drilling holes in the bottom of their boat. I told them if he does that we won't be able to steal his prop nut later that night. :bigthumb:

Great Time

I gotta' tell you, I really had a great time. I know everyone else did also. It was really nice meeting all of you guys and gals in person. Great bunch of Checkmater's! :bigthumb:
 
and I gotta tell you that jetmate is bad azz, that was one fun ride.
wish someone got a pic of us flying it 3ft above the water.
 
Got back at 9:30 after a tiring journey, but all safe and sound.
Huge thanks to Sim for putting up with my verbal diarrhoea (and the rest of you!). Even huger thanks to Ram and his mates for allowing us a mothership to raft from - really made the weekend.

I have all my pics downloaded, but need sleep before I organise them.....watch out during tomorrow.:thumb:
