Introduction

I've been thinking about starting a blog to track our water skiing escapades and finally sat down to do it. So, a little about ourselves:

Jerry, 35 years old - learned to ski at 7 years old; skis on pair, slalom, tricks, slalom trick, shoe skis, ski skat, backwards skis, backwards slalom, wakeboard and barefoot once.

Jenny, 34 years old - learned to ski at 24 years old; skis on pair, slalom, tricks and wakeboard.

There are also a large selection of family and friends that we will post about and post pictures/videos of. We ski behind a 2003 Glastron SX17. Our home lake is Lake Waco in Waco, TX. We also have a standing tradition of a water skiing vacation with family & friends at Lake Tenkiller in Northeast Oklahoma. As a family we have vacationed at Lake Tenkiller almost every year since 1960. A tradition that my grandparents, Loren & Emma Lou Davis, started and continued until we took over in 2001 after we bought his boat from him.

Together, Jenny and I love to teach people how to ski. We are both excellent boat drivers and have taught dozens of people/kids to ski. It is great to have TWO skilled teachers in the boat for beginners because we can both share our own versions of what works for each of us. For kids, Jenny gets in the water with them and instructs them "hands on" until they get comfortable on their own.

Enough about us for now. My intention is to post after each day that we get to water ski. I'll also be posting excerts from our family journal that we have kept during our vacations at Lake Tenkiller.

Much more to follow.
May your winds be calm and your water be glass.
