Not my boat. Not my wheel.

Riding along with Josh Richards at Lake Lawrence — my camera, his cockpit.

2 hands on the wheel. Throttle/pipe on a 2 stage right foot pedal — throttle first 1/4, then pipe length.

I’d like to say it takes a lot to irritate me, but anyone who knows me knows I can handle a lot.

It’s the little details that get to me. Like these cracks in the deck.

Post-season maintenance. One little detail at a time.

How do you deal with deck cracks? Silicone, epoxy, duct tape… or something else? What’s actually held up for you?

Keep learning. One clear question at a time.

The helmet camera puts you right there. It still only gives you one view.

From inside, your eye follows the water ahead. From shore, you can see the whole boat. Both views have something to offer.

Marinette 2026 helmet footage and a separate 2016 archive photograph. Different days, different perspectives.
