The weathermen here in GA. cant predict what will happen this afternoon.
Your better off watching the cows to see if they are laying down or not. or check the radar the day of the event. |

And so you say we may be neither boating nor cow-tipping? Perhaps we just need a good bribe to up the Mellish-Meter... LOL] |

OK
I talked to Morfoot this morning and we are locking in at Bald Ridge ski cove Sat 10-5-13. We are planning to be there at 9am . The ski cove is located on the left side of the marina . As you come into Bald Ridge Marina on the water go straight to the docks and then turn left and go past the no wake buoys. I'm bringing the Pontoon as a home base it will be sporting the CCF banners on both sides. I will have a grill on board all are welcome to cook what they brought. The weather prediction is 83 partly sunny with a 5 mph wind. I was in the water over the weekend and its still confortable high 70s low 80s. Looks to be a great end of season get together . If you have questions call me at 678-227-8833. We will see you there. |

Hiya Jim: Much as I'd like to drag the Southwind over sometime, gonna hitchhike again this time. Most likely solo; not likely..but possibly with a friend. Just spoke with Morfoot; gonna text him a "come pick me up" message from Bald Ridge Marina on arrival. In the event I can't reach him, maybe you could give me your cell number (or PM me if you'd prefer). My cell is 404-735-0158. Thanks, Jeff |

Thanks Jim! I'll put your number in my phone. Your boats a beauty, great ride last year. Hope to ride in Tim's, yours, and as many others as possible. Toertel: Thanks, just got your text but then my phone just died. (My ancient flip-phone is about as high-tech as my boat). I'll be coming from Peachtree City and have no idea where Burtons Mill Park is; but to make it simple, if the action is to be centered around Bald Ridge Marina, I'll just show up there. (I'll be the guy at the end of the dock with his thumb out). I think Tim & Jim have got me covered, but I'll let you know if I need a ride, thanks! |

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it out there tomorrow. Hope you guys have fun. Take lots of pictures for those of us that have to watch from the sidelines. Hopefully we can put another gathering together first thing in the Spring.

Big thanks to Mike and Gail for the use of the pontoon, the grill and the great food!
Had a great day. Counted eight Correct Crafts, a Malibu, an Elite Craft and the pontoon. And nineteen people on and off during the day. Couple folks ran the slalom course, Tim and Gail, pulled by Bob and his Ski Nautique 200. Pulled the flotilla around out of the ski cove to a nice beach area where we grilled and enjoyed a beautiful Georgia afternoon with CCFans. Ended the afternoon over at Sunset Cove at Lake Lanier Islands. Morfoot and 74Wind will have to post some pictures. I did not take one picture! |

Thank you Tim, Mike and Gail for the organization.
We had a great day with 76c water temp and tons of fun. The little one was wiped after the day out on the water. Thanks all, great outing and fantastic group! Here some pics This one made me laugh real hard (the folks are never to be seen on any of the ramps, but now had the time to put up a sign...) Thank you Marty! On the way to the cove (nice ride Tim and thanks for the txt) relaxing at the beach (Jim, nice ride, almost won best in show and thanks for rescuing the strangers at the dock and pleasing my boy with a grand entrance!) |

What a great day mid to upper 80s not a cloud in the sky water around 77 and glass conditions.
We started the day in the Bald Ridge ski cove. We met up with a group of skiers that set up a course there . Two Malibu Responses ,one MC Pro star and a Nautique 200. I think they were happy to see their ski cove invaded by seasoned CC owners instead of tubers and wakeboarders. My wife immediately snagged a ride on one of the Bu's three hours later she was still at it every time I looked up she was on a different boat. Talk about hitting it big how often can you ski the top three ski boats in the world one after the other. She learned more in those three hours than the last 20 years plus we made some new friends . As the day went on we moved out to a sandy beach for some food and chilling time . We ended the day around 7 at Sunset cove . The day couldn't have been better but I guess that's what happens when great friends great boats and great weather get together. Here are a few pics I have I'm sure more will follow. |

I have to agree the park rangers are never around but now they have time to put up notices and block off war memorials ? Burton Mill Park was closed for the season two weeks ago before the shut down. The boat ramp is open all year long. Its funny to see that not much changes for the average guy when the feds stop working . I guess they will keep reminding us until we take notice?

Great weekend on Lanier gang as the weather was perfect, the boats were awesome and again the CCFans were even better. It's always great to hang with the local guys and we even added a non CC guy to the fold with his Elite Craft.. Pretty neat boat all in all and Peter would fit in well with the rest of us as he is about as anal as the rest of us when it comes to his ski boat. I've know his wife since we were 5 and this past weekend was the first time I ever met him.
The weekend was full of surprises as Mike previously mentioning us hooking up with guys who put in the slalom course. They were glad to see fellow skiers on the lake and said they had no issues with us using the course(well except Mike in his 210) and said they would be glad to pull us using their boat. Needless to say I wasn't gonna pass an opportunity to run it behind a SN 200. Hadn't run a course in 20 years and found out that I probably shouldn't have. MAN, DO I NEED WORK! Had a great time even though I almost got swamped by a freaking Yacht who never bothered to slow down after "Miss Scarlett" lost her water pump and got hot REAL fast. An attach bolt sheared off and the pivot bolt was loose but I managed to get the belt back on, pivot bolt tight, and jammed a pry bar in the slott to keep tension on the belt, to get the engine going before the tidal wave hit. Mike took one over the stern of the ToonTique and Gail off the bow from the clown who only cared about himself...... Of course with Lanier fashion we ended up at Sunset Cove where there is always something interesting going on...(see enclosed pic) If the weather gets warm again before Nov, I'm up for another day as always! Mike and Gails' official CCFan "TOONTIQUE"! Cell phone pic of the slalom course we were mooring by! The scenery is ALWAYS good at Sunset Cove! |

That might be doable Reid as I don't have plans at the moment. I guess it may depends on whether 'Hotel Hunter' is still open? Mike guess maybe I shoulda left 'Miss Scarlett' up there
Welcome to CCFan Reid. It's about time you signed up! |
