Chris,
I think that they are going to do the weekend after the 500. Bike week could make it hard to get a cabin or campsite. Something to consider. Donald |

I think it's at the end of March next year. Check with the Boat Doctor ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Gary is correct in saying that we're gonna move it to March to coincide with the Mt. Dora boat show. Sitting round the weekend a bunch of us tossed the idea around to change it. The weather would be warmer as well as the water temps. Those down for the race wouldn't have to hang out for a week to attend. More stuff for people to do an opportunity to go to the boat show and possibly find much needed parts for an old correct craft. The monkey run on Fri for those who didn't make it last year, a run to the Glenn Fri eve, boat show sat/ run to the Glenn, and of course a cookout Sat night.
I know the Doc will chime in and fill in anything I missed. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski. He can wakeboard.He can cook chicken.He can create his own self-named beverage, & can also apparently fly. A man of many talents."72 Mustang "Kermit",88 SN Miss Scarlett, 99 SN "Sherman" |

Billy called me just the other day and we had this discussion. We both had decided that it was in best interest of the site to NOT start talking up next years SJRR til the Official reunions were complete.
The tentative dates for the 2011 St. Johns River Run are March 25-27th. This is to coincide with the Mt.Dora boat show. The weather and water will be a bit warmer, and more cooperative. Think of it as an OD on Correct Craft's and Woodies. Tenative ground central will be Parramore's Campground. They offer cabins,RV parking,tent sites, and have a facility that we can host the Sat night cookout. I imagine that we will stick to the slogan......"The plan is that we have NO Plans" but may try to have some sort of schedule. Monkey Run for those that want to go and of course runs to the Glenn Springs and some sking on Lake George. Maybe a visit from some friends at CC HQ and such. Mark your calendar now and plan to be there with or w/o your Correct Craft. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Tim, that attitude may be acceptable on this site, but will not be tolerated at River Run.
If you want to come and be a "part of" please do,if your reason is other than that , don't spoil it for everyone else. Each year SJRR adds a few more attendees that want to start off the new year with a tradition started in '08.It will continue to grow with or without you. The ball is in your court Tim, Keith will not be there to referee your behavior.Looking forward to meeting and sharing with you at SJRR 2011..............Billy ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

I'd be interested to know if this event will be well attended by the wives and children. My whole crew wants to go but only if it's going to be more of a family thing. Donald80SN's family is planning to attend with him. Anyone else? Just don't want my crew standing around while I talk boats. ------------- Steve 2011 Sport/Air 200 Excalibur 343 2017 Boatmate Tandem Axle Trailer Former CC owner (77, 80, 95, 88, all SNs) Former Malibu owner (07, 09) |

Steve I cannot say this will be an event centered around wives and children, but they are welcome .This event is about boats and the people that own these boats, entertainment of your young one's along with the husband duties are your responsibility.
All CCFan gatherings are family events,my Mom would feel right at home.And this is all we ask of those that choose to join in the SJRR. As far as your "crew" standing around while you talk boats, there is a long list of "things to do" at Parramores.Swimming pool, tennis court,fishing, and do not forget the alligator rides. This will be our first year using the later dates to include the Mt. Dora Boat Show, The Monkey Run will also be on the list of must do events also. There is talk of a river trip Friday, North for about 30 miles, have a bite to eat , and cruise on back to Parramores. The invite is there for all to come and enjoy a "kick off " to a new CCFan Year................Boat dr ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Steve, I agree totally with what the Dr. had to say. There are indeed more wives or girlfriends there as a norm but the ladies are still outnumbered. The Godfather brought his neice last year and that was it for small children that I can remember. Adam T brought his teenage boys but that has about it for that age group. I think your girls would enjoy the Monkey Run but no promises that they'd see any. I've heard that some days you do... some days you don't.. Gators are every where so they'd enjoy seeing them in the wild. It's about a 4 hour ride round trip at idle speed so be sure the family knows that.
There has been talk about changing the gathering on Sat to either a different local on Lake George or at the entrance to Glenn Springs. It's about a 10 min excursion to get to the springs so it's a little more difficult for folks to leave just to ski/ride like at the two gatherings you've been too. If we were to move it to the spring entrance and tie up there then if you wanted to go for a ski/boat run then you are already on the main lake and can rejoin the flotella quickly and easily. The only draw back is that this lake is HUGE and if its a windy day then it won't work. I believe we've got some scouts working on a plan or a possible different locale for this very reason.

I think anytime we get together and it is not during summer vacation it is destined to be less than a full family affair. You will also have more people flying and spending less time as it is difficult to be away from the wife and family that long. That is not to say that we haven't had a pretty good turn out from the locals in terms of WAGs and kids at the weekend events just that those of us flying in will make them outnumbered. With the later date I am hoping this event draws some longer winter getaway family trips south this year, as it is the premier winter CCfan event. Compromise with the wife and kids.. a couple days with the mouse, a couple days on the boat. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

I do not think you can refer to SJRR as a winter event, all else I agree with.We have a different season here in late March , it is called LATE SPRING.

Steve,
While the campground is really a neat place and does have the items the Doc mentions for kids, the fun stuff really about stops there for little ones.. Like Tim mentions, the monkey run is cool, but for 4 hours, there no getting out of the boat, no bathroom stops, no swimming, unless you want to play with the locals (gators).... The run to the Glenn is great, the raft up, the cook out and the comraderie is second to none, you just have to keep in mind what's important to keep everyone happy and out of your "crawl"... I think it was mentioned, If you have a high maintenance crew, you'd be better off leaving them near Disney, while you go hang with the boys.. Just my 2cents..

Jody, sounds like the same song and dance we have heard for the last two years. I hope ya'll do come this year, was a lot of fun .
Mt. Dora will be a "Must Do" but all else is do what feels good...We should arrive Thursday AM for the boat show, and be back at Parramores by that evening. On a side note, Is there interests in adding a "swap meet" to the agenda this year ?That would give us time to post the Pro's and Con's . Any more input????? ------------- The Boat Nurse |

Okay - I am looking forward to my first trip to "The River"! Tim sold me on it when we met several weeks ago (I need to get your prop back to you Tim!). The boat show sounds great as does the "Monkey Run" - too funny.
I am definitely making this trip. My wife and kids will be staying at home so I am bringing a buddy of mine - he will leave with the passion for owning a Correct Craft of his own!!! Any details on exact locations of where everyone typically stays so I can go ahead and make reservations? Since my history around Correct Crafts dates back to the mid 70's, I am looking forward to meeting Art C., Woody (spoke with him many times back in the day getting advice on our first CC), and the Melloons! ------------- Salty 2018 GS22 with Z4 2008 Ski Nautique 206 w/Factory Tower, EX343 SOLD 1978 Southwind 18 w/GM305, upgraded 4 barrel intake & carb, all original - vinyl & carpet, etc. [URL=http://s328.photobucket.com |

For you new Fans that are planning on attending I can personally guarantee you that you will NOT be disappointed. I've spoken to many of the regular attendees and ALL of them are already fired up and ready for this event NOW! I would suggest that you plan on getting there THURSDAY evening if at all possible so that you have the necessary time it takes to do the "Monkey Run" on Friday and still get plenty of River Run/Lake George time. We got a late start last year as folks were lazy getting up and kinda putzed around. The launch point is about 45 min from Parramore's so that kinda got us a bit behind too. I would suggest that those of you wanting to do the MR on Friday, look into staying in Ocala Thursday night as the ramp is allot closer to town. You might catch a break on a hotel there as Parramores is about $100 a night for a cabin depending on the size. Might be a little easier on the wallet for some as we all know, times are hard.
Many of the newbies last year caught the bug and caught it bad and have attended several other gatherings because of the whole CCFan experience.Mark it on your calendar and plan to be there. This one you don't want to miss and if you don't believe me ask the newbies from last year. **Post Edit**...... Of course staying up til 2 am Thursday night drinking beer and eating wings with Joe, Mojo, Reid and Paul didn't help a whole lot either and the fact that Paul went for a swim looking for Gators after midnight kept us in stitches for a while too. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Hey mister,I didn't see your hand empty when the beers were being served haha Fun day for sure.. We'll it would have been better if the monkey's would have slung some dung on Billy when we was up close hahaha..
Word of advise here people.. The monkey run is a pretty cool thing to experience, but it is a long day, so you have to get going early !!! Please note, there is no place to get off the boat period, so make provisions, or less provisions/libations, to allow you to make it through the day on the boat.. I also suggest consolidating boats, so you have less to launch and deal with in the narrow passes... I believe we did that to some extent last year but it still seemed we took hours to launch and retrieve boats...

Tim - where is the launch point near Ocala? I am looking at the map and working on the details of my trip down from Atlanta. I am considering driving down to Mt. Dora Wednesday evening and staying somewhere there so I can hit the boat show all day on Thursday. Then head up to Ocala and get a room there so I can meet up and do the Monkey Run on Friday - then head over to Parramore's for Friday and Saturday night.
Does that sound like the right logistics if I want to work everything in? ------------- Salty 2018 GS22 with Z4 2008 Ski Nautique 206 w/Factory Tower, EX343 SOLD 1978 Southwind 18 w/GM305, upgraded 4 barrel intake & carb, all original - vinyl & carpet, etc. [URL=http://s328.photobucket.com |

I dunno the 45 min drive doesnt really justify the extra check in check out and not being at party central on the night before to me. There certainly was some futzing about in terms of who was gonna leave thier boats behind and ride along... some understandable as not everyone knew everyone real well and heck you drove your boat 1000 miles and you want to ride in it etc.. We might have even had a boat launch and experience mechanical issues IIRC.. As for pulling the boats out.. well that was probably more slowed down by people running/stumbling for the bathrooms instead of running for the trailers..
It is all a good time. I am hoping to make a week long vacation out of it yet again and that others have the opportunity to take thier families and do the same.. that is easier to do if all the activities stay loaded towards one side of the weekend... ie thursday through sunday morning or sat afternoon through monday .. Are we saying here that is basically a week before target or a week after target? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

The boat show is no longer in Mt. Dora. It is in Tavares, which is nearby. Thursday is the day most exhibitors are coming in, so not a good day to go. A lot of boats are out on Friday for show activities. Saturday(March 26) is the best day. Sunday, people start pulling out early, because of travel. There is a good public ramp between Tavares and Leesburg 441, just past the Dora Canal. Hope this info helps.

Bud, Although true, everyone still calls it the Mt. Dora boat show!! I don't think that will ever go away. BTW, it's still on Lake Dora!

I have been a member of ACBS Sunnyland chapter for years. I started attending the show in 1981 when it was in Sanford, then went to Mt. Dora and now is in Tavares, Fl.According to the Sunnnyland chapter, the show is designated as Sunnyland Antique and Classic Boat Festival on Lake Dora, Tavares,Fl. I thought it might help people know it is actually in Tavares, Fl.Call it what you like. ------------- bud sellers |

Pete , March should be about the "correct time" for you and the wife to bug out of the North and make a trip South.

Mike, Where have you guys been? Haven't seen you much since Lake Norman. Parramores tent camping is sparse at that and they really don't have tent sites per say as you accustomed to. Most of the tent sites are in the center of the campground and pretty close to the bath house.
Parramores isn't all that big but more congested as they really pack the rv's in there. It's a snow bird community and pretty quiet there at night. Our group actually kinda livens it up a little bit. Correct Crafts everywhere on land and in the water. Hopefull they worked on the ramp a bit as it's got one heck of a drop off. Of course they water level has been down the last two years so maybe we'll get lucky next year. Hope that helps. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

A lot has happened since Lake Norman. We found and bought a new house in Flowery Branch GA. Lake Lanier. Although its not on the water like Reid's its only 1 lot off the water and 1/10 of a mile from the ramp. We are still skiing as of last Thurs water temp 65 degrees still OK with wetsuits. Still hoping to get 1-2 more days in this year. We are looking forward to seeing all in FL.

Steve, it looks like they are not going to go to the SJRR. However, I will be at the SJRR and I will bring my boat. My inlaws are into camping in a big way. They are actually trying to sell their home to go on the road full time. They purchased a new fifth wheel last week. They are headed to Ocala State Park in January. The kids will have some time off for some holiday or teachers work day deal. I will be taking the family to see the inlaws in Ocala during January. The wife is concerned about pulling the kids our of school for the SJRR in late March. My wife told me this weekend that the inlaws want to take us to a place that you rent a pontoon and you go up a river and see Manatee and Monkeys. 
My wife did realize this was the same place I was wanting to take them in March (SJRR). This could change, but it looks like I am headed to SJRR without them. I am going to make a reservation soon on a cabin. We can spoon together if your family does not go to the event. Ask Tim Moorfoot, I am a great spooner. We shared a place last year.

Donald, I may be up for the cabin sharing, but will decline the spooning offer. No hard feelings. I'm not sure what my family is going to want to do with this event.

Do not knock spooning until you have tried it. Tim was a little scared at first.

Salty, Reid P. rents a house nearby each year. He may be able to help you out. Call Race City Marine in Mooresville, NC to get his number. He has another business that he is at during the day. Paramores does have cabins. Actually they are mobile homes with log siding. This is where most will stay. It is called Paramore's Fantastic Fish Camp. They offer day slips for your boat. You can leave it in the water all weekend if you want to. I hope this helps, Donald |

Salty, glad you are showing an intrest in our little "throw down". We would love to meet and greet another CCFan.
There should still be cabins available , call Lori. Late March is a slow time for them....... Side note Donald, I think Reid is going to stay at Parramores this year, to be closer to the "action" on Sat. nite.There should be plenty to satify everyones likes. Monkey Run is still on for Friday AM, for those that wanna. Mt. Dora Boat show all week end,300 plus antique boats on display and in the water. New this year will be a River Run of about thirty miles thru Lake George to a small town for lunch.This will add to SJRR thrill factor. More details will be posted here as the time nears.... As in years past all money raised at SJRR is donated back to the site. If we can beg , plead and donate enough stuff, we will have a raffle on Saturday nite. If you wanna help the site and get rid of some of those gifts you will never use, donate to the cause CCFAN is a good one............More on SJRR later ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Gary, If you can fit the Mustang in overhead bin then by all means bring her baby!
Dave, kinda like Donald and Dr. have said...most stay at Parramore's as that is where all the non river action is. They have "cabins" on the waters edge which makes it a shorter walk to the covered boat parking but most cabins are within a 5 min walk to anything. Most will accomodate 4-6 Fans and some will sleep more but if you're like me. I'll sleep when I'm dead so no worries there. So book you a cabin and as Donald would say "Spoon Up if you have too" The rec room is where we have the community cookout, and where Mr.Ralph gave us all a history lesson. It was cold last Feb so we fired up a bonfire, passed around a mason jar or two and just had and grand ol CCFan time rekindling old friendships and making a bunch of new ones. A second CCFan SJRR soundtrack is in production as we speak so for a small donation to the site on site will get you one. Those who were lucky enough to get one last have probably worn it out . Well at least two have that I know.
If Parramores fills up with CCFans we might be able to spill over into a campground next door. It too is on the river and just up stream of Parramores. There isn't a website for it but its called. South Moon Fishing Camp. Just google it and you'll come up with a address and phone #. I've only been by the place on the river and it appears to be a decent place. It is a fish camp mind you so it's nothing fancy and the "cabin's" are white center block but you'd only be there to catch a few weeks anyway. Glad to here that some new Fans are gonna make the trip this year. You won't regret it and excitment is starting to build. We're working on a few surprises but will reveal them as they develop.
