At least you can stay up that long! I don't know how sketchy or not I'll be, been too sick to jump on a ski so far... Otherwise it's been since I was either 13-14 since I was on a ski. I'm looking forward to it.

Took me a few times to get on the ski (notice I didn't say, 'get up'  ); my wife put me to shame because it's been longer for her and she was up on 3rd try; once I was up there's no problem (except getting tired); I was about 10-15 off, 60'-65' ft back, which was OK before because I didn't spend much time behind the boat; that was a little close in this case because I needed a few rests and there's a lot of turbulance that close behind a jet.
