CT mini reunion: Aug 24-26, 2012

Looking forward to it!

Umm hell yeah... coming.. might even bring a boat. Guests, tbd asap.

Tim,
I'll be there with the '63 Plastic Classic and will load it up with any Footers that are at least equal to the boat's age, and if we don't have enough, we can drop the age limit. This hull has yet to EVER (almost 50 years) pull a footer to my knowledge. But since I have run it a couple of hours (and enjoyed it's performance!!), I am almost not able to hold off till the CT Mini!! Who will join me?? I'm thinkin' it's got the 8a11$ for 6+! Needed, just a driver and a large "girl friend" in the back seat!!

I think more classics will be there as well, so there maybe a Kodak moment.

I'm also working on bringing my (formerly your) Tique, but my engine rebuilder is currently looking for a block to replace the one (that was welded but still has lots of cracks) in the boat. Not sure I can get it all together by then, but that story has another day, much like your '79 Barefooter.

If Joe from NY is NOT draggin' a boat, he can stop by Exit 26 of the NYST and I can load him up with a tow.

Todd, would a 64' qualify? If so count me in!!

We will be heading East the week before staying at our Lake house on Candlewood, about 30mi from Timmy's.

Timmy's on Fri & Sat, Look forward to it!!

Anybody around who wants to ski on Candlewood the 18th-23rd drop me a line, Timmy???

Mr. Quinner Sir,

You are more than in!! I'm not that good at math, but I'm thinkin' that anyone born in the '60's qualifies hands down. My brother (Tim's father, Gregg) was born in the 50's and I'm tryin' to get him to man up and drop a ski.

Todd

Thursday midnight arrival, and then driving [with] CQ home Sunday.

Its def sounding more like a big crew lol
Myself, my GF, and my father.
Just praying for awesome weather.

Tim, was thinking about setting up a tent.

I'll probably bring my brother and/or a buddy of mine.

New boat?! I actually haven't seen or talked to him in a little bit.

Looks like my +1 is coaching a volleyball practice till 11 or so on Friday, so I would suspect the caravan possibilities with Iaughtnaut are exceedingly high- leaving around lunch or a little before. Hoping Chris(Storm34) and Picture Pat stick around owasco lake for the morning watersports session on friday while the girls are assembling themselves, but with a new boat to meet who knows if Chris will be able to slow his roll that long.   

As for Quinner (also Chris) - sounds like you are driving over and should be stopping by my place the weekend before?

scratch that, 12:46...I get off the red eye fro Seattle at 10:45, I'm thinking I'll just catch a nap at the airport, pick her up when she lands and then grab my boat and fall in line with you by your place around 1:30?

I'm trying to make it, will do my best. Lots of stuff going on that last week before school starts here, plus we may be moving my oldest into her college dorm on Sunday (freshman year), not sure yet.

Yes, new boat. After searching high and low, I located a 1999 Ski Nautique in Virginia. It has 440 hours on the GT40. 2005 Ram-Lin trailer with little use. I had MacCallum's Boathouse go through the boat and give it a tune-up. Love the super soft wake. I just can't get used to little exhaust noise, mostly transmission whine.

I should be at Tim's Friday night or Saturday. Leaving for Las Vegas Sunday again this year.
