New England CorrectCraftfan.com Reunion!!

Boys - you're right, this site is the best!
I'm amazed at how this N.E. group just seemed to pop-up out of nowhere.
Would love to see some sort of list (Maybe better profile info) of exactly who everyone is. Maybe something like:Screen name, real name, boat, lake, approx age.

Hey - 75Tique(Larry)& Nautique2001(Ken),
Not sure exactly where you guys are at, but if we're close enough, it'd be great to try and get a few guys together for a weekly afterwork ski
My ski time dwindled to once or twice a year the past few years & I'd love to change that. I may be gettin old, but I hope never to old to ski! Banana Man is my hero!

We've got a couple more additional events for our reunion in August. Craig made a great suggestion regarding giving back to the community. During our Correct Craft land event, we'll attract the locals to come and participate. We want to get kids involved too. We're going to rent a dunking tank and use that to generate money for charity. We'd like to alert the local newspaper about our reunion and charity event. I hope this alerts other local CC owners that aren't in the CCF community. The more boats, the better. Also, here's a great incentive that Craig came up with.

"anyone that sinks Fred would get a NECC gift certificate for 10% off in the store or towards service".

Fred is NECC's service department manager. I don't think he'll wear a speedo, but that's OK.

I'm going to work on contacting the town hall to get a list of charities. As time gets closer, I'll contact the local newspaper and see if they'll do a write-up.

I'm going to personally donate money towards our event. We'll have our official registration very soon. Keith, let me know when you're ready.

Thanks,

Ken

I'm working on a hotel for those of you staying Saturday night. The link below is the closest hotel to NECC, approx 2 miles. The current rate is $119.00 per night. Depending on how many people are staying overnight, we can probably lock in a lower rate now. AAA members might get a lower rate too. It's early into our planning stage, but I'd like to get an idea of how many of you are staying overnight Saturday. At least I can block-off some rooms now. I'll be there.

Jeff,

Looks like we're going to Milton, NH. It's about 10 miles from Rochester. It's a pretty good size lake with a beach, picnic tables, grills, facilities, etc. Looks like our destination!

Ken

Great. I'm going to launch my boat in Milton, NH in April. I'll take some pictures and post them.

Yes, Ray's Marina is on that lake. Milton Three Ponds is the official name. I don't know where Milton beach is from there. I've seen people skiing by Ray's. Looks very nice.

I think I remember where that is. If I recall, isnt it next to where the railroad tracks cross??
Is there anyone thats familiar with the lake??? I remember some friends saying there are some tough spots. Is this true?? It would be nice if someone was there who knew the lake inside and out...
                           Jeff....

    Oh yeah, we here most call them the "weed sticker". Dont mind paying a little so long as it goes where its supposed to go!!

Spring is getting closer, my friends. We should plan on meeting somewhere for food and beverages to get to know each other. We can find the most central location to everyone. When I was active in the Three Seasons Ski Club, we had a dinner to kick off the season. No need to wait until August. We should do something next month.

If somebody is a great skier or rider, I'd like to learn how to improve. I'm average at best. Plus, I lack drivers. I have plenty of spotters.

Ken

I think that its a great idea to meet up this spring. Location isnt all that important to me since Im pretty central to everyone (live in Medford/work in Andover).

Ken, if you need more drivers, I wouldnt mind meeting up to give you a pull this summer. My boat is in CT, so I wouldnt otherwise do any skiing during the work week.

-Tim

The first couple of rounds are on me.

Jeff, no problem. I want to give everyone an open invitation to dinner sometime in late April or May.

A taxi is OK, a stretcher we'll avoid.

This is what I'm talking about when I say that this is going to be a great summer. It will be great to ski and board with others.

Ken

Did someone say beer!

We could also be NECCOA, Northeast Correct Craft Owners Association. We can't forget our friend Joe from NY.

How about we discuss it over some drinks and appetizers. Again, the first two rounds of beer are on me!

I think http://www.johnharvards.com/ will be the place to go. Again, Framingham looks central to the majority of us. We should plan on end of April.

Ken

All,
Briefly spoke with Craig from NECC last week. I was on the West coast, travel for work, and didn't have time to talk to him about details. I hope to speak with him tomorrow and have the registration page up this week.

Count me in for John Harvard's. I work right in Framingham and could easily make it over for lunch or dinner.

We'll think more about the rain as we get a little closer. I assume that unless there is torrential downpour we'd battle through.
