What a beautiful little one. It's so awesome being a grandparent! I feel blessed that I am only 10 minutes from my grandkids (9 and 6, and they are great companions on my Jet Ski.) You are right. As you age, friendships become more and more important. Did you have your battery on a trickle charge?

Full circle moment. Two days ago I took a friend and his brother (3 skis) on a Keowee tour and we essentially hit all the sites you did. Jumped off both rocks, went to the dam, sat under the falls, etc. Warpath is even the spot where we put in. I love the twisty section as you near the taller raven rock cliff jump, so today I googled something like "Best twisty section for PWCs" and came across your Ocklawaha River ride. A few clicks later I watched your video of Jocassee saying it was the best PWC ride in America, so I was feeling pretty fortunate. Then I watched this one. Small world! Next time you're up, head over to the "Hot Hole" and jump in. If they're pumping out the water which just cooled the reactor (maybe they always are...I don't know), it's like a hot tub there. Your ski may float away with the current, so hang on!

Yes, I saw that video as well. Haven’t had any of our watercraft on Hartwell yet, just Keowee and Jocassee. The idea of a multi-day ride on Hartwell sounds fun, though, as it’s so large.
