Certainly sounds and looks like the whole family are enjoying the TI. If I'd have had an AI 10 years ago, I would have been doing the same with my family. But both my kids are now 'too old' to be seen dead on an AI. I spose I'll have to wait for grandkids ( It's OK, I can wait ).

The lake looks nice. Is it as good as it looks ? What do I type into Google Earth to see it ?

Slaughter; Those are Grandkids. Like you my kids are way to busy to enjoy anything real.

That is Tampa Bay- Fort DeSoto Park – Bunces Pass. South West point of land on Tampa Bay before the gulf. Latitude 27.646776 Longitude –82.716662

It’s a great place to sail/fish all kinds of coves mangrove covered islands. From the house I can be on the water in 1 hour. There are launches all over the bay so I look at tides and wind to pick the days launch.

Have a great day.

Jeez, mate! And I'm just struggling to get a trailer for my new TI (when it arrives). Awesome way to transport your Island. :)

I saw your thread Tupelo. Some great photos from that trip. This one would have been my pick as well although if a solo AI were in that rainbow shot.........
What a place. We have just got that series down here on the Island of the UK with that Doc Martin bloke. Looks like you've got an excellent selection of islands to choose from.
Gett'n 2 AI's on the roof of the Audi is impressive enough, but then managing to drive it down over that rock wall. Amazing stuff.

Lake Champlain NY near Port Kent ... Burlington VT across the "pond"

Teaching my 6 yr old niece to sail ... she's a water rat just like I've been all my life. These were taken early morning - winds were too strong for passengers the rest of the day

Lake Powell Utah last week - East end between Good Hope Bay and Hite

Edit - woops, just saw the initial post of three photos only in this thread.. If I were to pick my three favorites, it would be #3, #5, #8. These are my kids sailing age 13, 15. Some of the shots are in some fairly high wind (in #8, the kid sailing is 13). I was a little nervous watching this but both kids have no problem with the AI in some big wind - both know how to reef. We towed the kayaks with a sailboat (which we slept in).

Ill leave the rest of the shots here - since already posted..

PassWind - Don't the kids love the tramps? Nice work.

Walt - Looks like you nailed it with this set of shots. But because you submitted more than 3 shots you have been immediately elliminated. ( it may have more to do with the fact that one of these may take out the top prize ) :lol: What a spot.

Lake Powell is a cool place.

There are days when the kids don’t want to be on the tramps.
