Since I got my Tigé my buddy with a Malibu has been telling me he has a secret spot he will show me. Now it's been three years and until today I was skeptical. He said he would take me sometime, but couldn't tell me where it was. Last night we talked and he said today was the day. This morning he called and said bring whatever you need to drop my tower (normally never drop as have tall garage). I'm thinking how secret can a place be? Everybody knows where there is water and as popular as water sports are how can there be any secrets. We get to this place and start to prepare to unload and he says I'll just hold the boat as you back in and walk it off the trailer. I'm thinking, why and he says it's too shallow and there are a couple 55 gallon drums filled with cement off the launching area to watch out for. What have I gotten myself and my Tigé into? I back him in and park and come back and board the boat and he starts walking me out about 50 yards in about waist deep water then he steps off the edge of a shelf and says ok to start. He jumps in and we head for a bridge accross what I am seing as a mud puddle, we drop the tower and have to creep under this bridge with about 2" of clearance. We get to other side and he says this is it. I look at the depth gauge and it is reading 18' I look ahead and it's mirror glass and maybe 100 yards across. My boy throws in the ski rope (we always ski on glass before boarding I'm old fashioned that way) we take off as my friend guides me through his private play ground. It's about 6 miles long and glass the whole time. We had an awesome day glass until after 1:00 when we pulled out. While we were between sets and having a snack we watched as 12 deer came down and watered, fish were jumping everywhere and it was just us on a Saturday at noon. He said occasionally they will see another boat out, but usually it's all to them selves, I pointed out until now, he will probably be seeing me alot more often and he said that was cool as long as no one, but my family knows about it. Does anybody else have secrets or am I dreaming this really happened?
Sorry for the long post as I am still in shock that this exists within an hour and a half of my house. Also no pics as my wife had the camera on a girls retreat. I'll get some next week end that won't give away our secret, but show the glory of it all.
