Yep,"real close to the edge" would sum it up. But as they say "A boat is just a whole in the water that you just keep pouring money into!"
Besides I learned a "few" more words from the British language. LOL And stuff happens.
And thanks to Brian for allowing me to backseat with him. Had a great time.

Well, sorry about the delay, all the tables have been sent to our Webmaster, including the Ladies and Couples from Tri-Cities so all tables should now be up to date.
Banks was another great tournament - for the second time in a row, everyone who entered weighed fish. we started off with 27 out 39 Anglers posting limits on Day 1 with only one fish dead out of 160!! Another pat on the back for a group of Anglers who obviously took a lot of care of their catches.
The weather stayed good all weekend and even the wind was pretty co-operative. Personally I had a rather "sucky" start to the weekend as the Nitro went bad about 1 mile down the lake (I feel worse for my backseater, Rich Loth who had to suffer through all the issues and did so with a lot of moral support for me as I got really close to the edge at times). Thanks to Jim Rumann and Brian Walker for providing Rich and I with backseats late in the day for Day 2 - and for getting us on fish. That's what makes this club great, the cameraderie and spirit of help......
I must apologise to the Members who fished at Banks for not being more organized with the Presentation and Raffle, I should have prepared more stuff the day before. Once again the staff at Coulee PLayland were helpful and even gave us a good deal on some nice Raffle prizes, thanks Hal, Dave and the ladies!!!
Overall I think it was a good weekend, just my sixpence worth!
I won't be the Jack 'n' Jill, and I can only speculate about the rest of the Tournaments at this time - I'm working on it and will update things as they develop.
