Did you know, the Irish water skiing team spent the whole of last year looking for a sloping lake. So they could practice without having to hire a speedboat. BT, maybe you could help them out, and make a reverse of what you have done. A real nice job, and done on a tight budget as well. My neighbour has a pond like that, saves us having to feed the cat occasionally. Bogs |
