Taking few friend for a ride. |
|
|
As it was time for my brother's wedding on Saturday 7th
of July my parents had few long distance wedding guests over already from
Thursday. |
|
Since they had introduced me to world of snowmobiles it
was time to return that favour after almost 20 years and introduce them
to hovercrafting. Even Jonne let his GameBoy have a well deserved rest
as we drove to hoverport. |
|
We just made a short trip around so familiar closest islands.
There was five people on board and again i experienced few engine shutdowns
due to fuel pump relay not working. But now it seemed like relay jumps
up from socket rather than just have a bad connection. |
|
We have had nice weather for some and when weekend got
closer the temperature went higher. We have been frying in temperatures
of over 30C (86F). Surprisingly engine temp stayed within a reason, bit
high but workable. |
|
There was some wind and weather was very warm actually
hot, so i decided to freshen my passengers a bit. I drove headwind at idle
and while opening throttle i turned the craft causing cloud of spray all
over the craft and my passengers. Water was warm and spray cooled everyone
at least for a short while. |
|
We headed back to hoverport since there was sauna already
waiting for our guests and time was already almost 9:00PM. I let couple
of older passengers out and did couple of 180's with the couple of younger
ones before driving ashore. |
|
Just 4km and never put in my GPS. |
|
I got few photos, well actually my better half did. |
