Greg, hopefully this guy won't show up for the next Badin Blowout. I wouldn't want to see you lose your first place title for best home-made paddle.

It was an awesome event. Without rehashing many other comments, taking some of the burden off of the hosts is the main thing that could be improved. Some of that could be solved with more ready to eat food. Ridgely agreed and we look forward to helping more next time when both kids are old enough to stay with the grandparents.
Oh and I think the bidirectional zip line sounds like an awesome idea. |

Greg, Everything. Was. Fabulous. Cold and rainy Saturday not withstanding, It really is hard to imagine how it could be better. Always good to see old friends and make new ones. I too noticed how much work/cooking was going on behind the scenes. There are plenty of us who actually enjoy doing that kind of stuff and are more than willing to help. Then again, I know how it feels to host of a big group and I have enjoyed that part too. Maybe some year I will be able to stay the entire weekend and actually get a chance to ski.

Greg -- talk to my dad and get him to drag his out...he's closer and has an eye-catching boat (not like Carl doesn't but can't go wrong with banana blairs) Like everyone else said, excellent event...great water, great parking, great food, great people, accommodations, boats, etc... install a bi-directional zipline to bypass some of those steps...and hope that when you want to go up, someone else wants to go down that will carry you up |

I'll throw this one out there.........
It pretty much was but make " The Badin Blowout" a 18'ft and under only event unless the only one you have is over 18'. One of the coolest pictures taken was of all the 40 years of sterns shot. How cool would it be to have a dozen in that shot? |

Correct me if I'm wrong Greg but didn't you suggest having a mini at your lake was because Reid and the Benjamins were going to a bi annual event and we weren't having either this year? We who attend these minis and Fans houses know what a chore it is to host a bunch of boat/ski bums for a long weekend so thats why it's becoming a bi annual event for some. I guess it would ultimately be up to you and Reid if you wanted a repeat in 2016 and Reid forgo the Pinkham Point Party then that's for you guys to work it out. Either location is a great and grand time is had by all and thats what really matters.
I'm for that! Would have been more if dummy me would have palnned to stay til Monday.....I know better than that....... Rookie Mistake |

Greg - glad to hear there will be a repeat event, looking forward to it! Everything was great - I'm having a hard time finding anything that needs improvement. It was the perfect way for us northerners to extend our season and hang on to summer for a little longer. Oh, I just thought of one suggestion - more Holman Moody races!
But I'll second Timbob and Larry that we (guests) can do more to help ease the burden of hosting. |

I will qualify for a >50 team and will be skiing in the buckethead if someone will have me - already made the nod to Joe.......
I laid the challenge out to my buddy Carl (he did not bite). I will train this winter / spring summer and will commit to drop another 15 pounds and toughen up the feet / endurance, pick up the fuel to drag his BFN to the event and back - sounded like a good deal to me......guess I will need to stick with the training and simply keep my name in the mix. Larry - you will need to be my winter skiing / training partner (I know you have the drysuit!). We need to work on leaving the ramp by the house and skiing to the town of Badin before spring time - you in? You other fella's how about this years New Years Day Tournament?

Tbd, Bruce. Gotta see what the buckethead dates looks like. There may be an opportunity to do both. Buckethead takes priority in my schedule as of now though! I think there is enough interest to put together a pretty good Sunday Funday race at the bucket next year. It fell apart this year due to lack of organization and it was a real shame. I think we could put together 2-4 teams from CCFan alone to compete in a 19 mile race. Might be a better option than the 38-miler on Sat... That was pretty intense. |

I mentioned to Tim at Greg's I think Gregg and Todd Benj, Jbear, anyone else we can think of who qualifies, and myself putting together a 60 and older Buckethead team. I paused for a minute wondering where we would get a boat then duh! it came to me we have one of the coolest BF boats in the world on that team. Tim didn't think that sounded like a bad idea. I think I might be talking big tho. I cant speak for the other guys, but if they are like me, we would be transitioning every 30 seconds, which wouldn't be good for "track position" (as they say in NASCAR) I have a feeling they might have more endurance than me, but if I don't get tired, my feet start to burn up real quick.

From what I hear the Buckethead has likely replaced any August reunuions.

Don't plan around CT mini schedules... We're unlikely to ever push past Labor Day. There should be plenty of room for a late August northeast get together and another in NC 4-6 weeks later in the same year. No guarantee we'll stick with late Aug up here either!

I echo what has been said above. Great event, great time for all.. Changes? Paraphrasing John Kennedy, its not what you can do for us, but what we can do for you, mostly in the area of food. Clearly the hosts did more than their share of the heavy lifting both costwise and effortwise, related to food. I felt bad seeing "the women" spend an inordinate amount of time in the kitchen, when they should have been out playing or mingling. So only recommended change: more planning related to food in terms of guests stepping up to help with offerings, costs and preparation....with the exception of Donald who gets the awesome grillman award.
Next discussion is scheduling. Reid was always pretty much every other year. Tim was every year, then decided on an every other year schedule. As it ended up, their every other years are presently coinciding. Should they be staggered or are both of those events the same year far enough apart (timewise and maybe distancewise). Now with the Fossett's very successful event in the mix, I heard talk of alternating the NC fall event between the two venues. Does that mean we only get to go to Gregs or Reids every fours years. (R-T-G-T-R-T-G-T...) That is unacceptable. Well, I'll let you guys figure that out. Again kudos to all the Fossetts and Kyle and those who helped make this one, one for the books. |

Can't imagine putting an event like this on. Perfect hosts and a remarkable location. For me it was a no brainer heading down the coast at same time ofyear i just adjusted my schedule a little. Glad I did.

Thats okay your dad tried to make up for your absense...... When the Capt. Cannonball rum was being passed around he kept changing his position in the circle so that he was always the 3rd person the bottle was passed to. He did the same thing when the Fireball was broken out. |
