Back in the day, my dad and Uncle Phil co-owned the Cho-Go, a wooden Owens motorboat. Our summers were filled with day trips to and from the beaches of the Great South Bay. Each year our families grew. My mom described passing small children from the boat to the beach shore akin to the circus… Continue reading Memories of Water Skiing
