More info to come at a later date, but mark your calendars for Aug 22-24! Accommodations will be spartan (as usual) but we'll make do. We have several folks flying in on thurs and fri, perhaps a dialog here will help people coordinate rides/rentals, etc. |

In. Already locked in a ride from Indy, arriving Thursday for happy hour, leaving Sunday late morning/early afternoon-ish. TimBob, when is the Nautique Mobile planning on departing CT? My dad and I are trying to coordinate his ride and/or flight, he's just not trying to have to take more than Thu-Fri off work, if possible. ------------- bring the ruckus http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5347" rel="nofollow - 2000 Pro Air |

If you're close, you should absolutely come. A lot of guys on this site see each other several times a year and have built friendships as a result, but that is no reason to jump in and hang out. I've met new people at this event each year, and its nice to have a face to put with the posts online. This weekend is very laid back and skiing centric, if you're close you should absolutely come over. Come for an afternoon or bring a tent and come for the whole weekend, you won't regret it. If you're serious about learning to barefoot this is definitely the crowd you want to hang out with. The Benjamin family is always gracious and accommodating hosts, and whether you bring the boat or not you'll definitely have a chance to ski and ride. I for one wouldn't mind a closer look at that new barefooter of yours. I also wouldn't mind checking out the view from about 90 feet behind it. ------------- bring the ruckus http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5347" rel="nofollow - 2000 Pro Air |

It is close to me as in a 3 hour drive. And if i am able to make it there the boat would most definitely be in tow. This sounds great! I am going to dot it on my calendar and will hopefully be able to make it over for the weekend. And If i am able to make it you can count on that ride for certain, as well as anyone else. i just picked up a BFI 100' tow line and handle along with a seat for the boom and look forward to putting them to use. Hopefully my new decals will be able to be done by then. |

As Paul mentioned anyone coming from out west or southwest that wants to stop by at my place for a, night, a day or two before hand is more than welcome, I live at 5683 Westlake rd in Auburn NY I am located relatively close to the NYS thruway but you would expect to add about an hour total to your drivetime to head to tims via the NYS thruway instead of the more southern route through PA, but it knocks off a few hours and I don’t get too many complaints from visitors. As of now I plan to be on the road to the Benjamin compound Friday morning 8-9 ish putting us there just after lunch on Friday. I'll likely return home Monday morning. ------------- 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 |

As long as my son's return trip from Spain goes as planned I will be there no later than mid day Friday wirh SAN in tow. ( and perhaps some W.Virginia blackberry moonshine) ready for any wakeboarding/ surfing duties. Last I spoke with CQ he was on the fence but doubtful with everything he has going on at his new place.

Not to worry gentlemen, I have a current list of attendees complete with arrival times... Those who have not posted their plans in this thread have spoken with me directly- not too many unknowns (I don't think!). Current numbers stand at ~60 people and 18-20 boats, looks to be an awesome turnout, hype or no. I believe we have a menu set, I'll post up that info tomorrow so everyone can figure out what to bring. |

As promised, here are the details I have been promising to provide. Just over a week out! For any newcomers, this event is hosted at my family’s place on Tyler Lake. Address: 52 Sandy Beach Rd, Goshen, CT. Accomodations are pretty spartan, but we have a big, flat lawn, so you are more than welcome to bring a tent and set up camp. We’ll have a few porta-potties on site. Goshen is a small town and there arent any hotels/motels close by, so I don’t have any recommendations for those who don’t want to camp, unfortunately- but Im sure there are options within a reasonable drive if you google it. PM me if you want to run options by me- I can provide my thoughts on general areas to seek out (or avoid). The cottage is in the middle of a fairly large, shallow (sandy) cove. We have several docks and anchors, but would encourage everyone bringing a boat to bring their own moorings. There is a public launch located across the lake, approx address is Park Rd, Goshen, CT. There are only a few parking spots available there and no docks- just FYI. There is no gas on the lake and the nearest station is 15+ min away, so fill up on your way into town- Torrington and Litchfield are your closest options. Parking is a bit of a challenge, as the cottage is at the bottom of a large hilly driveway. Therefore, we ask that people park at the top of the driveway and walk down. Feel free to come down first and unload if necessary! For those bringing boats, there is limited room to turn around at the bottom with a trailer… so probably best not to attempt it unless you’ve cleared it with me first. We have dedicated trailer parking near the ramp in my sister Sage’s yard, address: 27 Tyler Lake Heights, Goshen CT Looks like we’ll have a good crowd here as early as Thurs PM. The weekend will be full of watersports- there will be no shortage of skis, ropes, etc, but feel free to bring any and all gear as well. Especially trick skis! I think that’s pretty much it... I will post up food/supplies info in a minute. |

I think we're ok on grills Greg- we can move them around semi-locally if need be- we have options. I'll quote the list in my next post for people to use as a sign up sheet... For those who have mentioned what they're bringing but didn't say how much, I'll ballpark the quantities I think you're grabbing- feel free to make corrections! |

Tim, Put me down for the corn- fresh from Gary's farm stand. You have at least one but I'll bring my propane burner and large pot too. Additionally, sign me up for the following: Solo cups (~300+): Styrafoam cups (~200): Paper Plates (~500): Paper bowls (~100): We don't plan to arrive till Friday evening- if you'll need the above items for dinners Thursday and Friday then I can swap with something/ someone else. -Brad ------------- Former: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=759" rel="nofollow - '86 Nautique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=507" rel="nofollow - '65 Barracuda |

Brad, I assume you'll be in time for dinner fri (at least shooting for it)? Ha. We'll need some of the basics early on, so how about reduce the count of solo cups and plates by 100 and styraFoam cups by 50? Someone else coming earlier can backfill. Sounds good on the corn and the propane burner- that'll make 3 and probably not unwarranted!

Tim- We hope to arrive before dinner Friday. But just in case we don't make it in time I wanted to make sure you guys had all the supplies you'd need ahead of time. So, I just ordered them all from Staples.com and they should be arriving at your lake house well ahead of your first guest. I'll forward you the tracking # as soon as the order ships. No need to edit quantities or shift to anyone else- we're all set. -Brad ------------- Former: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=759" rel="nofollow - '86 Nautique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=507" rel="nofollow - '65 Barracuda |

Tim, Since I am flying in, can we look at the other end of the food cycle and let me make a donation (cash) to the portal-potty fund instead? junior woody has indicated the possibility of a ride to the bayou from Bradley for Thursday morning. My Charlotte to Bradley flight is #1747 with scheduled arrival at Bradley at 9:41 am. Thanks to the whole Benjamin clan for hosting this "mini ?" If it keeps growing we may investigate house boat rentals. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5597" rel="nofollow - 75 Nautique |

Tim, I can grab trash bags, paper towels, plastic forks and napkins if you can get by until I arrive around late morning Fri. I will be time crunched as usual but may be able to grab some unclaimed food items at the last minute also. I will check back in a few days to see what else i can grab. I also have a few 5 gal cans I could bring. I will be stopping in Litchfield to fill my boat and could donate some gas for the Benjamin boats if need be. I know last year the Crush and UTs barefoot ran almost non stop all weekend. Mike ------------- http:/diaries/details.asp?ID=2219" rel="nofollow - Air Nautique 210 Team 640 hours, not 1 regret |

Thanks guys- updated list! Aunt Laurie said she grabbed trash bags this week. Feel free to make adjustments! Jackie, no worries if contributing to the list below isn't practical due to travel arrangements- I've been in that boat many times at various ccf gatherings. We all find ways to contribute and it evens out over time! Bringing extra gas is never a bad idea- I'm sure it will end up in whoevers boat ends up pulling a bunch. Id recommend 89 at a minimum and 91/93 is never a bad idea, I know some boats prefer high test!

Morfoot- You'd need to leave Goshen by 5 to make that right? That's a bit earlier than we were planning on leaving Sunday- but would be happy to adjust our schedule to get you to the airport. If you need to book the flight go ahead and you can count on me for a ride. -Brad ------------- Former: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=759" rel="nofollow - '86 Nautique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=507" rel="nofollow - '65 Barracuda |
