St. John Mini Reunion 2010

So it looks like Astor is going to be the meeting spot? I'm going to start checking out rates. Orlando would be the airport closest to the gathering, correct?

Thanks, Dave. We would probably fly in on Wednesday so we could tour the Correct Craft factory and take in some sites.

Are we firm on the dates?

Thanks,

Ken

I really think this event will be bigger this year. "Just in numbers"
As you can see people already are talking about it.

And I am just glad to be one of them !!!!


Dave


I'm waiting on the big dogs to take the lead..    

Tim, did you get the Manatee or the Bass? We're 1 or 2 doors down. Glad to hear you're signed up!

I wonder if any of this rain is getting down there? A little more water in the river wouldn't hurt!

We grabbed the Speck Hole on Sunday night of the last trip. It was pretty nice and has a screen porch, and I think Boat Dr. was in the Raccoon Den...he can give you the skinny on it.

I have the Speck Hole Thurs nite thru Sat Nite. Yes, it does have a screen porch. Boat Dr was next door last year. This year I believe he is on the water side. Speck Hole is the second unit on the right as you enter the campground.

Jared,

Thank you again for giving me a ride last year.
After that ride I said to my self: I have to buy a boat like this one.

Your boat has style and yes let me know when it is for sale...hehe

But this year we will ride side by side, "can't wait".

Dave

Jared,

We've actually proposed to Keith about making this an official reunion as it seems to be growing into a full scale reunion from the get together it was previously billed. That is one of the reasons why we moved it to the weekend after the Daytona 500 so more CCfans could attend and the campground would have room for everyone.
No word from Keith as of yet.

On a sidenote after the Masters waterski tournament, there was mention of CCfans bringing their boats to the tournament next year to show how off the types of boats used over the years at the Masters. I need to talk to Keith about this and call Art at CC to see if they still want this to happen. STAY TUNED!!

I'm sure moving the dates away from the 500 will really help as well as getting the word out early. Who doesn't want to drive South and stand in warm water in Feb.

Hollywood, I agree if it is official or not it's still great fun to be out there with a super bunch of people.

As with most anything "Demand will determine the destiny" of this event.

For those of you thinking of flying, Allegiant Air may have a great rate for you. They fly into Sanford International 25 miles North of Orlando International which is closer to the event. Most flights are direct and go for $29.00 to $120.00. You can also knock off I believe $14.00 or so if you purchase at the Airport counter.

The kicker is they only fly to smaller airports but I have found that to be much better than the lay overs at the Atlanta Airport.

For the city select "Orlando/Sanford"

Is there a spot to ski or foot?

All you have to do is throw some chicken parts on one end of the lake and ski on the other.

St.John's River Run as a "name" seemed to work very well last time,why change ?
The meeting or HQ will be at Astor. Parramores Fantastic Family Fish Camp. Several of us have already booked our rooms there. Not the best ramp to launch but a good one down the road a bit.
We had a great turn out last year, and sure it will grow even more in 2010. Keith is a bit concerned as to "naming" this event, and this is understandable.
The name nor the term used is of little concern, it is about the event and the boats, members and the time on the water.
We set all the gears in motion last year before we left as to agenda,date,room for numerous boats and a meeting place after hours on the "WARM WATERS" and now working on donations and other details to make all this come together.
It went so well last year that "very little formal planning" may be the theme this year too. We all had plenty of food , fun , fuel and frolicking in Florida.
I will keep everyone posted on the events as they unfold .......Billy/Karen

Plenty of time left Greg to get another.

Where's the meetup point on the river? Guess I'll just put in down in Sanford and head north til I hear the rumblin??

Astor is your best spot to launch. Sanford is way too far South and has many Manatee Zones. The Parramores campground is a little North of Astor as well as the Silver Glen.
