First Dawg Day Complete

What a fantastic day of skiing and good scores.
Unfortunately the laptop is not connected to the wifi very well, so
we will post some pictures tomorrow I hope. Thanks to Gonzalo and
Juan carlos for the hospitality at the site. It doesn’t rain in
Peru, so never a threat of a rain delay. Some of the scores (that I
can recall) Dave Miller ran 4 at 39 in the first round but the

Twas the day before Big Dawg

The sun was hot, hot, hot today at the site.  It was a full day of skiing and practicing.  The site is looking very festive for the Big Dawg celebration.  We will see some awesome skiing on the water tomorrow morning.  The tournament starts at 9:00am.  Boats are ready to go. 

 We visit the shopping area called Asia daily.  The food is very good.  Yesterday we had a delicious ceviche and today sushi.  Friday night must be something special, along the highway, locals were setting up small colorful tents of fabric and waving flags.  Not really sure what is going on, but it seems that Friday night seems to be all the rage. 

The atmosphere at the moment;  Mark Austin is grilling kabobs, Brad is planning the exit from the beach house to the site , Jeff Smith is just chillin, Larjoski has a cabernet and Whitney is asking about breakfast. 

The marketing and advertising is a little different here and Brad is taking full advantage of the marketing materials placed around the grocery stores and shopping areas. 

Tomorrow we may ask a few questions to the competitors, so stay tuned.

Peru Site Report

The Latin American Big Dawg tour will be underway in a few days. It was a good day of practice with no wind, warm water and partial sun.

If you come to Peru with 5 ski tubes and 10 bags of luggage, rent a car at the airport and not off-site. A small van will take you on a journey of 30 minutes to get to the off-site rental. If you are a big group stuffed into a hippie van, you will be riding on the floor under ski tubes (and I speak from experience)

We are in a beautiful beach house on the ocean. The waves are huge and you can hear the waves crashing during the night. There is an outdoor kitchen and currently there is a local resident showing us how to use a hair dryer to educate the  Americans on  how to start difficult charcoal.

Big Dawg Peru

A few Americans will be traveling to Peru to participate in the Latin America Big Dawg Tour.  Ed Hickey, George Levein, Brad Cox, Dave Miller (he’s really a Canadian, but that’s ok) Jeff Smith, Henrik Laursen from Miami and some other country, Marc Austin and Chet Raley.  Laurie Lindsey, Larjoski, also known as me, and Whitney Smith will be traveling with the crew.

Upon arrival we will pile into the hippie van that Brad rented and be off to cheer on our hometown Dawgs.  We are told there is WIFI so we can give you updates on the Americans in a strange country. If not, this is the last update you will get.  Hopefully, there will be good skiing and some not-so-serious news to share; maybe George will drink the water or something of interest.  I will also look forward to eating a donut in front of Ed Hickey.
