Great stuff. It had to be the 80's, hardly a lifejacket in sight! Does any one still move their Cat via the method shown at the 7:00 minute mark, on the roof of their van?

Keep in mind.... People in the 70's, 80's were in good shape and could swim a mile with no trouble at all... most just had to float on their back and drift into shore..... their Catamaran would meet them there, just down the beach a little way LOL!

Bill Where did you come up with that film ??? !!! Is that you befor the PBR days with the flat abbs and the tan ?? There was not a kegorater in site.. AND .. who needed life jackets .. Lots of folks on the beach to come out and help.. What about the stashes. All the COOL guys had the stash.. BUT !! Not one hottie is sight. All those "Ladies" were smart .. Cool and would not take "Please" seriously.. Hard to make a score then. Had to sheet it in. Get up on one leg and fly the hull.. Or somthing else. (Did you ever fly that ??) And raincoats for the man was unheard of.. Skinney dippen.. Oh Yah. Your choice.. Then or now ?? Hotties are smarter now but more desperate .. Easy is better than smart.. Just Sayen.. Hal
