Is this guy sinking

I took this picture on a lake in North Carolina while we were up there.
This is a 75, it is not that heavy.

That ain't right. Looks like four people, spread out, and at least two of them lightweight kids.

Carl That is Lake Nantahana (between Andrews and Franklin). We rented a house up there on the side of a mountain and hiked for a week in the mountains.

Greg F:

Everybody up here goes to Florida on vacation.

I always wondered where people in Florida go on vacation. I guess it's North GA, Western NC and East Tennessee to the mountains.

We also hang out in those mountains in a membership RV park. I sometimes take my Waverunner with me to run on Lake Burton and Lake Chatuge @ Hiawassee, GA.
