Thanks Mark for all the great shots. Actually I think alot of the pics were taken by Lisa (BlondieGurl) and Marks daughter Kailie (I am sure I spelled that wrong)......of course the best pic was of ski Lime and the '80 side by side.
It is easy to be friendly when you get to meet people like BJ and Paul Carpenter. One of the best things about this site has been the people Patti and I have meet here. Starting with 62Woodhead and his wife Pam, ReidP and Laurie, Backfoot and JoAnne, Mark, Lisa and Keith, The PLBC guys and quinner, JEFF KOSTIS, the Lake and all the guys we haven't met yet but talk to like Alan, Mojo, Ken, BKH, Scott, Mike and of course our fearless leader, Keith. What a great bunch. We spoke with Ralph Meloon...great to see him still getting out amongst us at his age. We got to see old friends Ken Meloon and his wife from Mid-West Correct Craft up in Angola. Greg Meloon did a great job in the rain of handing out all the awards and prizes. And special mention has got to go to Theresa of SouthEast Correct Craft in Orlando for the HUGE amount of work she puts into this so we all have a great time. Wow...enough of the name-dropping. Yeah Mike...very observant...I had on last years Green Lake shirt and Patti wore this years. And yes, the Meloons noticed and commented on our site. My personal favorites? After Lime and the '80 were the Torino that is being restored, the Red and White Classic that was best of show and BJ's beautiful restro job. What a great time! john |

John,
You are too kind. It is like I tell my wife...anything is possible, just get out the check book. The man selling the Tique's name was Mick Nicolas. It was amusing to me listening to him hawk that boat. He even started it a few time for prospective buyers. There are two age old questions, (1) How many licks to the chocolate center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? and (2) How many dry starts does an impeller have in it? But I guess he got 'er done! bj |

Hey Greg; That red/white one was a 2000 I think. Reverse graphics. Very cool. I always liked those graphics but I think they were only used one year.
Me and Mark knew you would get a kick outa that Classic Paul. It was awful nice. Sweet motor as well. You should have seen the piture album he had. It was a wreck when he brought it home. I would only ride one a those if it came with a crew like yours. That model does look awesome in red! Now I am not sure how to take all these classic comments. Am I gettin' old looking or what? I am only a little more "classic' than you Pete. I am from '51 and you are from '52. Of course me and you gotta be a couple of the oldest guys here. john |

Well, we made it back home last night with the "Sanford & Son" 79 Nautique in tow. No problems on the trip home except my health. Seems I was very sick the whole trip. A trip to the doctor today confirmed that, but nothing some medicine won't cure!!
It was great to hang out with my best buddy BJ in Orlando and see his INCREDIBLE 81 Nautique. Pictures don't do that boat justice, you must see the attention to detail in person. Very unique restoration and guaranteed not to rot.....ever! About the only wood in the entire boat is in the shifter knob. I cannot wait to see BJ ride that wakeboard he won!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right BJ!?!?!? Getting to see Jane Cole and her family was a great treat. I could talk to them for hours. I also enjoyed meeting (thanks to Jane!) Billy and Vernelle Sides (Owners of the 53 CC). They are from my home town here in Albemarle NC and happen to be one of my best friend's aunt and uncle. Mr. and Mrs. Sides have lived in Orlando for many years, but they do get back to NC to visit family. I will try to get the 53 CC into the diaries section with Mr. Sides' help. Finally......I was able to meet Mr. and Mrs jbear, and maddmarxx. However, I wish I would have spent more time with these two. They are extremely nice and very loyal to CC !!! Those two have really nice boats, and madmarxx should get an award for most creative paint color!! That boat is BRIGHT!! I hope we can spend more time in the future trading stories and talking about our boats. Who knows where that might be...... I also met some new people while at the reunion, like Mike Alexander and his family with a 73 SN that I would like to own one day!! The CC family is the greatest. I am already getting ready for next year in Orlando. I want to take my 79 BFN. We will see what happens. I have some photos, but I may have to download them tomorrow night. I won't duplicate any that have already been posted. We were very blessed with a safe vacation, and you all know who I have to thank for that! pc |

Great to meet you as well Paul. Glad you had a safe trip. Hope you get to feel better soon. You know I gotta agree with all your comments as to the C/CFAN family.
We know where our blessings come from too. Can't wait to see ya again. We always got a room here. You, BJ, me, Eddie, MM and Keith...sounds like a fun time. john PS: I'll drive just to see BJ on that board! |

John, We both have the same classic gray hair but at least we still have hair!! I don't feel old because of it. I consider myself to be of a classic age but feel we both have lots of great years ahead of us!! I've got more boats that I want to restore and a Classic would be one of the good choices. |

Thanks John, those graphics 'like' being reversed where some others I've seen don't...I'd like to see the same effect in blue.

Sea World in September. CC ownwers get in for free I think with a nice meal and prizes. Very much worth the trip. My wife and I went with the JBear's this year. It was big fun.

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.
