Cindy and Donna McMains and friends including Janet Taylor and Kay Millspaugh met at the Shaver Lake marina and took out the family boat. It was a 17- foot Valco aluminum with a 75- horse Johnson outboard motor. They drove it across the lake to Dorabelle where they met up with some more talented teens.
Five youths lined up along the shore in ankle-deep water. Five single water skis were lifted to lie on the surface. Five lines were paid out to the skiers and the boat began to move slowly into position. The signal was given and the driver leaned on the throttle kicking that tough little engine into life. As the lines pulled taut all at once the engine bore down and gave a solid pull. It is due to the strength and skill of all the participants that they were all able to step out onto the water together and work that Johnson 75 as at no other time in its fun-giving life.
Parents? what parents?
