Things I remember doing in olden times.
1) Water skiing using a canoe paddle.
2) Using home made tow toys ( cabinet doors, dive board)
3) What is the name of the boards that were towed?
4) Towing a “flying saucer”
5) Trying to “flip” a boat and succeeding. I was the passenger and after coming up for air and viewing the boat coming down at me that was the last time.
6) Driving back to Moultonboro Neck for Wolfeboro at idle after hitting the prop in the Back Bay.(we were just going to Sheps for gas and arrived home 7 hours later)
7) Loosing the top of the suit will falling during skiing.

8) The best(or worst) Beaching an inboard at fast speed to get out of the rain and causing the boat to only run in reverse. I was saved by a hurricane (195?) because the boat was totaled and my mother never found out about it.
Glad I out grew all this but OH the memories.
