Rich, we spoke on the phone once, years ago. It may have been about the
ride around Manhattan, or maybe one of the poker runs up the Hudson. I
think I had spoken to Mario about that ride too. We never made it. I
think we exchanged a few emails about that trip to Florida a few years
back.

I don't remember if you were the same guy that works at the marina West
Sayville. I lost touch with everyone except for Bill O'Neil who I spoke
to a few weeks ago.

You're thinking of Mark D'Angelis, he does work there a lot but that's
because he owns the place! (West Sayville Boat Basin) I don't keep
my 'ski on his jetdocks anymore (I did for the summers of '00 and '01 I
think, then decided I preferred keeping it at home and trailering it
around to different spots all the time) so I'm not as close to him as I
was then, but I still pull up to his jetdocks on my 'ski to say hi at
least once or twice a season (he hasn't done much pwc'ing at all the
last few years, now that he's got three kids he has gotten more into
"regular boating.") Oh well good chatting, do you still ride pwc's,
hope so, must be lots of beautiful riding to be done where you are now.

I rode alot more when I was living in Bellmore. We lived in a
waterfront house on Bellmore creek with the skis on a floating dock. I
miss the grass cuts by Massapequa. Lakes get boring quick.

I think we met you guys at Gilgo when they were doing a SeaDoo demo day
thing a few years ago. I met Mario there, I'm not sure if I met you too
then. My wife and I towed our skis there for the day with the boat.

We ate lunch once at the restaurant to his marina. He later said he saw
us, but never came by. The trip back to Bellmore got snotty when the
wind kicked up. Between the grass and the waves, it took us hours to
get back to Bellmore.
