TRL Cobalt/CC Regatta 2019

[cmattj]

As the pics will start flowing from everyone ( geeze i’m still sorting a album).
Just a taste of night riding home from dinner in Yt’s awesome 262. Tgrace was the kingpin leading us the whole weekend!
Tgrace is “The Godfather” of knowing the goings on at Table Rock. Such history, and culture everywhere.
I wish I was taking notes when he was telling us about the community because it is amazing there!

I'll go thorough my phone more tomorrow night. Relaxing a bit now. But last night was awesome.
We learned a new dance I think Wed night at the lakeside bar. This mid 70 year old gentleman taught us this. Yes you had to be there. T this picture is for you.
A7 you can fix the link. Thanks.

Aaahhhhwwwgg! Now I know why you was laughing like a schoolgirl BB! That's awesome!

Yes, we learned a new dance, and yes, there is a backstory..

And Alex? Man, that dude can DRIVE!

Dude's name may have been Alan, I introduced myself after Matt made me drink a lemonade so my memory is a bit fuzzy. Also, he did all that driving from a folding three legged bar stool. You would think Cobalt could at least throw a seat in the boat, course maybe they offered and being the bad ass he is Alan/Alex refused.

In past pictures Matt saw that I was missing a center cap on my truck, and he brought me a new one! Talk about a stand up guy! That was pretty special. Thanks again Matt!

Then on Saturday night everyone else had gone to bed and Matt and I wandered around looking for new friends at 1 AM and found some! But yeah.. another story.

I may not have recieved a center cap, but Matt did share some of his "daytime" lemonade with me and that was pretty special!

I made the trip over with the pack, not many people have a 22 footer anymore been a long time since I've been over on that end of the lake, now I remember why, it's like an ocean. It's like two different lakes, pulling back into the Shell Knob area, it's much more on the calm side. I got some food, swag bag and headed out, me and my 22 ft dingy don't belong over on that end unless it's a weekday

It was nice meeting ya'll, safe travels home!

It was great meeting you.
But don't knock the 22ft dingy. I had no problem running with those bigger boats.

And here's the proof B. You are rough, tough and wear your diapers low! The Banana boat did great.

As our Captain Yt decided to make that mature “ Let’s stay at the back of the crazy pack” call. We all ( Bbp, Nauties, Yt MSN’s, and us agreed as the classic run was a bit much for sipping lemonade.

TGrace and Bfun along with others I could see, converged at the start of the take off .. So the plan was in action. We watched as all the Boats took off and enjoyed the fact we were going to bring up the rear, and avoid the washing machine.
Then it happened....
Realizing that the 262 is a wave killer we managed to catch the pack with ease.
Our fearless captain checked the crew for signs of fear and tapping out. With smiles of joy emanating from us all Yt could only make the right decision..... Keep up with the photo boat.?!?!
As the A/C D/C was cranking we were also cranking it up and passing everything.
The next thing we knew we had caught the front of the pack .
I turn my head to see the crazy water behind us and coming on strong is Bfun!! Whattt?? These two captains drove through the ugly side chop, and waves to become the glorious front runners as we entered the Gathering.
The 220 and 262 have landed!

It was awesome to watch and be a passenger with these guys doing some amazing driving!
Oh and passing a jet-ski is fun!

[Ytmsn]

You're spot on Matt! B may be quiet but drives like a geranimal!

Jax says "thanks for the kind words, but next time, tie me in"

Hilarious the back wasn’t bad at all, I just set the throttle to 30mph and dug the tabs. The r7 was up for the challenge. I didn’t even get splashed

I hope you're not mad at me tgrace! I know when you first rolled up you said you was going to gas and get out in the clean water since you were in the back the day before and then I said we were going to just ride along in the back and take it easy. That was certainly the intention when we started out! Next thing I knew we were running with flag boat.

Its all good brother! I had some white knuckles in the back of smooth so I backed off. I just know not to invite them next year

Gotcha. I had a feeling you might have some of that going on. I told Mrs yt you probably had some passengers that were wigged-out, otherwise you'd be right up there with us!

Yep that was the case. IF the Cobalt Chat gang comes again next year we will be empty nesters that weekend. We felt bad we ditched y’all the last night

Likewise! I love my 22 ft dingy fits my needs perfectly! I had no problem on the drive over, but figured with the Regatta plus the Lake30 gathering letting out at the same time it was best to head back to the quiet end a bit early.

Guess I didn't hear that plan. The group went by and someone said go. Next thing i know I'm up front looking around for you 2. Running in that mess was awesome. Did i mention the 5 year old loves riding through big waves.
