We're just getting settled here at Green Lake. What a great area. Alan (81nautique), Dave (Mojoman), Gary (Stang72) and Steve (62 wood) have really done a geat job. The real festivities start at 5:00 am tomorrow and will continue throughout the night!
Here's a photo of Chris Quin's (Quinner) 2005 Air Nautique, Alan Arrighi's (81nautique) '81 20th Aniversary Ski Nautique and Chuck Burnside's '93 Paragon lined up at Deacon Mills Park.  ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Another beautiful day in Green Lake! We started bright and early this morning (4:45 am) with the winners of the Mike Seipel bare foot lesson -- Tribal150 (Rob Reckley), scottb (Scott Bohnert), Chad Olson, and Hollywood (Kevin Fleischmann).
Sun rise from Alan's '81 Ski Nautique: 
Bare foot lessons with Mike Seipel: 
We're all planning to hang out at a shallow end of quite cove for most of the day. Should be quite a seen with all those Correct Crafts lined up in the water. I'll try to post more photos tonight. ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

What a day on the water. 96 degrees and sunny but we all stayed comfortable hanging out on the sand bar. Over 20 Correct Crafts in the water at the same time drew lots of attention from the crowd, that along with Gotwake's crazy sound system.

| Keith and I were at the ramp at 5AM on Sunday in hopes of deploying the course, but we were greeted with 25MPH wind which went up to 30 MPH later in the day. The flags in the harbor looked like they were made of plywood since they flew so straight in the wind. So, the course never made it. Next year we'll survey the lake a bit more to find alternate locations for the course based on any wind direction! |

Got back a few hours ago was a long ride but well worth the trip. Want to thank everyone who put this together, you all did an awsome job. Looking forward to next year and I am sure it will be bigger and better I know there are some things we would like to see happen next year and I am sure other people have suggestions also. Just wanted to tell everyone thanks again for a great weekend and see you all next year.

Hey everyone,
Got in about 11 last night, motorhome was a bear to drive with that wind so we pulled over in Janesville and caught the Rock Aqua Jays show team's show to kill some time and get a little rest which was in short order all weekend. What else can I say, what a great bunch of crazy fun people. We'll fine tune it for next year and make it even better. Had a last minute snag with our wakeboarder and the stand-in was a no show but that didn't seem to slow things down any. Thomas Bates from Correct Craft was a stand up guy and is an accomplished boarder so he helped out a bunch of the younger kids with some skills saturday morning and I know my 2 had a ball riding around in that 220 all day. By saturday night I had lost my voice and cut my thanks short. I left out Delta propellar, they donated 2 props that we raffled off so remember them when the time comes to reprop. I demo'd the 540 on my boat all weekend and I just ordered a new one for Chad who won it cause that props not coming off my boat, that thing is awesome. Paul and the band you guys were a lot of fun. Thanks to all that helped and a bigger thanks to all that came out and made it worth it. See you next year ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

What a great event. Thanks to everyone who put in the effort to make it happen. My wife and I had a great time.
I realize my injuries are a little gory, and I hope my presence didn't bring anyone down. It meant a lot for me to be there, and I think I had a chance to meet most people who were in attendance. Great group of people. If anyone is making a trip to the San Francisco Area, let me know. Standing offer for a trip out on the water here. I'll try to post some pics in the next week.

Hey Chuck,
If I remember right it was 61-70 Pauls 63 nautique 70-79 Stangs 72 Promo 80-89 Alans 81 90 + Chucks Paragon Best of Show was the Paragon couple of close contests between 62wood and pauls boat and also between quinner and the paragon for 90+ There wasn't a dog in the fleet. You should have seen all the locals checking the boats out when we were anchored in the cove. It was like a floating car show at an A&W Rootbear shop.

I heard several people ask Tomas if he was taking sign-ups to go out on the 220 team edition, but they where denied, CCfans only.
What a great turn out and alot of fun, Dave and Alan where awsome hosts, the only thing that was bad was that dam corvette boat could out run mine, oh well with 400 vs my 315 pony's he should. Quinner we are going to have to get together for some coldies again your one buddy is a riot and we'll have to see if we can add a few more tower ornimates to the collection. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

79,
No question Brownie is about 99 cents short of a dollar, hopefully he won't be banned from next years reunion (if for no other reason then owning a Malibu), I about busted a gut when Alan had to get him off the stage, fun stuff. As far as the tower ornaments, I liked the live one in the back of your boat who definitely was not shy! Maybe the PLBC boy's & Paul & Co. can help us out there. If you are ever in Chicago drop me a line, I am always ready for a cold one! CQ |

Hey All,
What an amazing weekend. It was great meeting all of you and to finally put some faces to names. Everyone's boat looked great! I have 173 photos to post. I might take me a few days. I had such a great time that the minute I got home from the airport (literally), I hooked up the Silver and drove the family to a friends lake for a few days. Thanks again to all the guys who made this reunion happen -- Alan (81nautique), Dave (Mojoman), Gary (Stang72) and Steve (62 wood). As most of you know, Green Lake is Mojoman's 'pool' and it was he who got the park permits, scouted out the cove and sandbar, hooked up Teacher'z Pet at the Goose Blind, etc. And Alan (81Nautique) was not only responsible for the Mike Seipel bare foot clinic, all the Nautique give-aways, the pig roast, the demo boat, the banners, etc., but he and his terrific wife also created and donated all the t-shirts and put together the registration packets. I also want to thank Alan (81Nautique), Joel(M3Fan), Dave(Mojoman) and others for ferrying my Dad and I around all weekend on the water. M3Fan, we'll get the course in next year, no doubt. To answer stang72's question, when I purchased the domain correctcraftfan.com back in 2003, I never thought it would lead to anything like this. Everyone has such great things to say about the site and how it has helped them with their boat and allowed them to meet some really great people. It a little know fact that PLBC was the first post to the Diaries section (besides me) back in February 2003. - PLBC, it was really great to finally meet you and Hollywood in person. To answer another question a lot of you had about the site, last month CorrectCraftFan.com received over 10,500 unique visits and had over a half million page views. The site continues to grow by leaps and bounds, mostly in part to all of you. 81Nautique has it right on the winners. I will be posting my set of photos along with the results to an updated Green Lake Reunion page within the next few days. Now I have to get the Silver ready for the New England Reunion - less than three weeks to go! ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Right on with that Joel, We'll start working on next year after the boating season and we've already gotten a comintment from Correctcraft to come back. A few things didn't work out because of the scheduling of some of the pro athletes so we'll keep a better eye on that when setting a date for next year. We'll work out a few of the kinks and next year will ROCK. We wow'd the locals and all we did was hang around and drink beer, wait til they see what we show up with next time. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Does Brownie need to be able to stand while doing stand-up, if so that may pose a problem? Hollywood and Johnny did make it back to shore with the hotties and then the hotties took my crew and the PLBC boy's to the Heidel House where we met up with a bunch of their even hotter friends, real good stuff! I didn't see the final score sheet but perhaps I was credited with an assist in that game, I will leave the rest of the storytelling from here to the PLBC crew. CQ |

Hey Moj,
I still cannot believe someone swiped my Air Chair , pretty gutsy considering we where all what, 40 yards from the boats the whole time? Probably one of them darn FIB's!

That makes me feel a little better about being worried about my rig at GL. It was PACKED with gear, including the entire slalom course, multiple slalom skis, tricks, wetsuits, neo life jackets, etc etc etc, and there was NO PARKING at the Oakwood Lodge. None. 62 Wood and I had to park our rigs down the street on the side of the road which was just ridiculous. Keep this in mind for next year- say no to the Oakwood just because of the parking situation. |

M3.... Not to bring it up again now, but I mentioned to everyone before leaving, on multiple occasions, that if anyone needed additional space for parking, that people could have used my driveway (enough room for 4 rigs) and my next door neighbor's two empty grass lots next to my house to leave their rigs.....
I realize the apprehension on all of your guy's parts to leave the boats in awkward places, so I did make mention and would have helped anyone whom asked for a better place to park. The Oakwood BNB is a very nice place to stay in my opinion and I recommend rethinking your boycott.. We'll handle the parking if it is an issue for anyone staying there next year (that is if the event stays in GL of course).. Quinner's experience is one I have never heard of before in the 9 years I've boated in GL. I leave all my gear in the slip uncovered and have never had an issue with transient boaters tying up there... "There's always a bad egg out there doing harm to others". This is one of the reasons we have insurance.. Unfortunate, but true... Moj' |

| Mojo- I had no idea there would be no parking until I arrived Friday night (who would assume that- after all, I had reserved a lift there, so they knew I had a boat since January) and had no idea where your house was at that time. One of my friends lives on Hwy A just down the road so I was able to park there one of the nights. Oakwood was very nice, but their parking lot does not hold many vehicles. I think a parking spot is not much to ask for and it was pretty dissapointing to arrive there and figure out that I couldn't leave my boat at the actual place I was renting. Because of that, I couldn't drive around without my boat attached the whole weekend. I had to get a ride from one of the kids at the OL to the Goose Blind on Friday(very nice kid!). The family that owns the Oakwood has multiple cars that are all in that lot too. My brother drove me around the rest of the weekend, so thank goodness he was there. If someone wants to stay at the OL, there's nothing wrong with it, just don't expect to have your boat there too. Might be no problem for some folks, but it's a huge problem for me. |

M3Fan,
Sorry to hear about the parking issues but we will learn from everyones experiences and make next year better. I plan on starting a new thread for the 07 reunion after labor day when things settle down a bit. We'd like to get everyone's feedback good or bad so we can work on issues like this and make the next one even better. I've got a list of things that we can do to improve but we'll tackle that later. I really want to see you get that course in the water next year and I've got a spot thats sheltered even with a little wind so we'll get together and make it happen. Quinner, I had no idea you got ripped off, that sucks big time. I left my boat in the water the entire weekend over at the campground, I pulled the wakeboards out but left everything else in it including my boom and maybe got lucky but I had no problem. That crap doesn't seem to fit the area up there, the whole town looks kinda tame so I 'm really surprised. Anyway, we'll start a new thread in september, enlist some new help and get this thing going. I'm in all the way and most of the sponsors I've talked to are in in also. Only 11 monthes to go. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

M3, I certainly empathize with what you and 62Wood experienced, and yes, the parking is certianly difficult with trailers there !!! I apologize for making mention of it before the event.. If you had a slip rented from the Oakwood people and it wasn't available when you got there I would really have pitched a bitch with them if not ask for a complete refund !!... Regardless, yes, you had every right to expect parking at the least.. Most of these hotels are small up there and with the 30 boats that were supposed to come, I'm sure it would have been worse. Since I did not hear of anyone having a major problem, I never made any announcements for help in this area. As Alan has mentioned, we can open a forum up after the season and work out the bugs for next year with your comments and suggestions... I hope the parking issue didn't ruin your weekend afterall. Moj' |

Quinner...That really sucks man. Where was the boat at when that happened? I covered mine each night at the GL inn. Like Alan, I left everything in mine except the wakeboard and ski, but my boom, all the vests, etc were still in there. The hotel I was at didn't have much parking either, but there was enough room for the boat and trailer....just off to the side where there wasn't any light. I would have never thought someone would've ripped me off......seems like too nice of a town. I guess that goes to show....trust no one. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=7744" rel="nofollow - 2006 Ski 206 http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1123" rel="nofollow - 97 SNOB |

I wouldn't mind coming back later this season either. I've got some unfinished business up there. I'm pretty sure Quinner is down too... |

| Random question: I got a parking ticket at the ramp in GL because I was in the "vehicle only" section instead of the "Vehicle + Trailer" section. Do I pay the ticket, or is this one of those instances where I don't have to pay it since I am out of state? |

Nope, good point. Sorry Quinner, you probably shouldn't go back. I "accidentally" gave her your name. |

| Quick bump here... I didn't want to start a new thread about my silly parking ticket but I seriously do need some advice... I think I may have thrown it away already assuming I didn't have to pay it. |

you have to pay it they will send you a reminder in time and notify your state BMV/license agency to suspend your license for failure to pay. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

Better just pay up....Barney Fife might remember your rig next year
BTW, how much was it?.. just out of curiousity. That was the strangest boat ramp that I've ever seen. No designated turn around area, and hardly any parking. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=7744" rel="nofollow - 2006 Ski 206 http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1123" rel="nofollow - 97 SNOB |
