Water Skiing Search

Hi all,

I've been way behind on blog entries, so here are some catch ups.

Another bike ride across Perth today- today's mission was to find water skiers in Perth. I headed to Burswood- right next to the Casino, there is a water ski club. I found the slalom course (actually, two) and a Ski Nautique. Guess the demand for Mastercrafts that they can't make enough to export to Aussies...

I found out the skiers try to get on the water every Sunday morning- next weekend will be another ride to try and get a pull.

Next was a ride through the neighborhood that Bonnie & I plan to be living in next year, Como, WA. Nice place, great tennis club and park 2 blocks from our rental house. Across the river in Melville, I found Bonnie's dream house - the flowers made me think of her garden back home.

Melville is a great place with a linear park along the river (Perth has a lot of those) and a park at Deep Water Point where all of the wakeboarders go. They make a day of it, packing BBQ, tents to get a break from the sun and boats, tubes, boards.. I met a guy, Gary, that is part of a ski club that owns a boat and is a family-oriented social ski club. They do after work, weekend and trips into the bush for holidays. I got a very warm welcome to join them and I look forward to their next trip out.

Cheers !!
