Hey Guys,
Friday - July 13th: It was great to see everyone from last year, and to meet a few new people as well. Tomorrow should be great. Here are a few photos from the Bay View:

Can anyone who is not at the event tell me who these two are ??
And this will prove to you how tight of a bond that these boats provide for all of us.They were both kind enough to troubleshoot and repair Mojo's boat with help from another member who provided the "Spare part" on the spot Friday night so he could be part of the festivities all weekend long.I will post a ton of pics when the Official Green Lake post pop's up. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6960&sort=&pagenum=2&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1980 Show Nautique |

It was a pleasure meeting all the friends I feel I developed on CCfan in person that previously have only been on the other side of a computer screen. Thanks everyone. It certainly was a fun weekend even though the weather on Saturday wasn't the best. I'm already looking forward to next year.
The only problem I had was several hours ago within 2 blocks of my house. I was pulled over by our own village police and issued a "compliance citation" for not having plates on the trailer. Illinois requires them and Wisconsin doesn't!! Since all my boats are registered in Wisconsin I have never tagged my trailers! Per the officer, the tag's on the tow vehicle and not the boat determine if the trailer needs plates. Sure sounds like a lot of BS to me! Thanks again and we will be talking I'm sure. With the exception of Reid's fun house/storage shed, I have never see so many Correct Crafts in one place at one time!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Yes, it's hard to believe that the two were fighting like cats and dogs a couple months ago! Now their common interests and vast knowledge got together to fix the boat. Of coarse leave it up to Tim (TRBenj) to have a spare module for the high tech fancy distributor/electronic ignition!! Probably the only one within 500 miles. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I had a great weekend also! Thanks to everyone who planned the weekend and worked the schedule during the weekend. I enjoyed everyone I met (with the exception of the guy with the really loud stereo ).
A special thanks to Reid and Laurie for letting me just fly in and use all of their stuff. Also, thanks to Quinner for being patient enough to drag me around several times on a wakeboard. You're awesome. I'm really looking forward to next year. -JMurph ------------- |

Just arrived back home a little while ago. We made a pit stop on the way home at M3fans house. He got a quick preview of the video and pics to come. Also had to wish Mrs M3fan good luck with her upcoming "delivery".
What a great group of people for the second year in a row! It's not often that you meet a whole group that you can bond with so quickly. You guys are like a second family, and getting to put faces with names is great - thanks for all the memories. Many, many awesome boats, and to see them all in the water together was a great sight! I have a ton of pics that I'll try to post tomorrow. Those of you that missed it need to put in for vacation time as soon as the dates for the 2008 reunion are announced. Special thanks once again to Alan (81Nautique), Dave (Mojo), and Keith for putting the event together. Also thanks to Quinner for letting me drive "my wife's future boat" , and making me deaf for the next week. I'm all Kid Rock'd out for the rest of my life. Thanks buddy.
Hope to see the pics start popping up soon. Rob & Dena ------------- 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 |

The amount of great conversations, laughs, new bonds and incredible sights are far too numerous to list.
I, of course, had a blast. Less obvious, however, is my family had a great time, inspite of me geeking out over the vintage boats. This is the best reflection of the great group of people that have formed around the site and our boats. De, my wife, had to endure from me a constant, gushing string of stories from the forums of how "he did this to his boat" and "can you believe Pete indexed ALL of the screws and plugs on his Atom" and "he has a MONSTER motor in there" ad infinitum. She indulged me and just listened patiently. And as a GL lifer, I can tell you that the wind waves on Saturday could have been a lot worse. I've crossed that puddle with 3' white caps all the way across. We had surfable waves coming over the deck of the pontoon boat the entire way! Huge kudos to Alan, Dave and Keith. You guys (and your families) sacrificed a good chunk of your personal summer time to bring this together. I doubt we could really express how much each one of us appriciate it.

Made it back home about 2 this morning. We kept delaying our departure dreading the return to the real world and leaving so many great people behind.
I can't say enough on one little post here about how satisfying this weekend was for me personnally and I hope everyone gets home safely and has some lasting memories and new friends. 87, I woke up at 3am to the sound of my awning trying to tear away from the motorhome it was so windy. I layed there for an hour thinking there's no way we're gonna pull this off. I was going to follow you guys across the lake but after battling waves that reminded me of an episode of Alaskan Crap fishing I decided to hook you guys up and try to figure what to do with the wakeboarders. I am so thrilled that all worked out for you guys and we have now added 2 new barefooters and 2 new back barefooters to the site. More to follow I'm sure. ------------- |

What a GREAT TIME with GREAT PEOPLE !!!!
Besides thanking Alan ,Dave and Keith for there time invested in getting this off the ground, I want to thank the MANY people that traveled hunders and literally thousands of miles to be there.. Talk about commitment! Weather could have been a tad bit nicer on Sat(cloudy, windy and mid 70s). We had troubles at first getting The Boat DR and his wife Karen to experience the "refreshing" Wisconsin water... after much coaching (and a few southern-wimp insults) Karen was a trooper and took the first plunge (wish you could have heard the scream)... after that what could Billy do , but get wet?
I also wish everyone could have been there to see (and hear) 25 Correct Crafts idling around , waiting for the parade out to the bay...what a sight! Make sure to start your plans to attend for next year!!!  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Same here Alan. Original thought was to depart at noon on Sunday, 9 short hours later we were on the road. CCFan put the unborn grandkids of the Goose Blind through college this past weekend. Once I can find my camera I will post some pics. ------------- |

Great time once again in GL, it was awesome meeting all the new owners and once again seeing those we met last year, it was also quite an honor recieving the best in class award particularly considering all the great boats we had this year.
I do believe fun was had by "AllyaAll" (hope I spelled that right Doc) cause it sure was the case for me!! Thanks again to Keith, Alan, Mojo and others and also CC for all they added as well, looking forward to seeing "AllyaAll" again next year!! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

Who's Who? Last minute schedule changes and a little mis-communication between Mike Seipel and I lead to a pretty good morning for few guys with the opportunity for some barefoot instruction that was not on our list of things to do this year. Just an added bonus I guess. ------------- |

Here's a couple of the shots that my wife lovingly uploaded while "working" at Notre Dame today. Hopefully she'll have more time for personal stuff tomorrow.
A couple of our favorites: These pics are from Thursday and Friday morning before the event "officially" began. TRBenj launching the 90 at the campground Thursday. 
Tied up Thursday at the campground 
The "magic" 81 and one of Reid's fleet after a safe departure from the toy hauler. What a sight! 
Loren - one of Stang72's boys showing off on the boom. Great water at 7:30 friday am 
The mini-floatilla before the meet and greet Friday. L to R - Reid, Reid, Marshall, Stang72, Brian, Rleinen79, Maddmarx, Quinner 
Quinner, MM, and myself, racing to the sandbar.....guess who won this race? I'll give you a hint...it wasn't me or Quinner 
Reid and Marshall 
Loren again, this time on the board, ripping it up behind Quinner's 206. That's JMurph on the left, and Stang72 on the right providing "extra ballast" 
Your best of show winner, no surprise, Pete Brainard's 54 Atom Skier. It was pristine! 
More pics to follow. I've definitely enjoyed the others. Keep them coming! Rob ------------- 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 |

GL was definately everything I expected and then some. It was great to meet you all face to face. What a great bunch of folks.
Very impressive boats at the reunion. Too many to specifically mention, but I loved Reid's blue Mustang, fast as hell. Tim did a great job building up his 351, huge mid range punch. James' BFN is a work horse. It flipped 1,400 hours and didn't miss a beat for us. Alan's 81 Nautique is a keeper. Love every little detail on that boat. MM's lime Nautique was a cool looking boat, fast too. Too many to mention. I'm sure they'll all be mentioned by the end of the GL threads. Here's some pictures of the morning that James, Keith, Johnny, Tim, James' brother and I launched Jame's BFN at 5:15AM. There were 2'-3' waves, 25-30 MPH winds, lightning off in the distance. I thought we lost our marbles, but after picking Mike Seipel up and crashing through the waves, we found glass. Thanks to Alan for putting the barefooting together for us. He was a trooper for meeting us at the ramp at 5:00AM.

Actually it kinda looks like Jim Koch of Sam Adam's brewing co. (all the way to the left) With that facial expression, it's a tough read. I'd never figure that was Keith.

You're right Paul. That's my sister Karen standing up to get a good picture. If you guys look closely between Johnny and Hollywood, that's Reid standing in back. You'll also find 79Nautique in back at the far right and Mojo next to him with his head turned. You can barely see JoeinNY behind Quinner.

A couple more pics:
Does anyone have any good shots of the boat parade? I was too busy driving to get any good shots. The one Keith posted on page 1 is priceless. It looks like a CC army. Adam Wensink and the demo 210 - sharp boat 
81Nautique (Alan) in my SNOB preparing to 'foot....that's his boat and family pulling up to wish him luck. This is probably my favorite of all my pics..... 
81Nautique, minutes after the above pic 
More to come, I'm sure. Rob P.S. The pics of Alan's 81 don't do it justice, as anyone who as seen it can confirm. It would be worth going to GL to see that boat alone. ------------- 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 hope to get out and run with the big dogs atleast one time this year. ------------- |

We had a wonderful time. We WILL be back next year just tell us when and where. After meeting all you, I think the bug got me really good. I had the best time meeting all of you and getting to know some of the wives. Look forward to seeing everyone again maybe real soon. But lets make it a little more central and in a LITTLE warmer water. The calendar is a great idea--we want one. Fantastic fun, wonderful people, beautiful town. Keep posting the pics-makes the vacation go on even after we're home.

Boat nurse & Doc
Glad you made it home safely. You guys, MM and Reid made the reunion that much better by making the long, long journey. What a great group of both peoplr and classic boats that made it up from the south. I guess there can't be any excuses next year that people are "too far away". I wish I would have had the video rollin' when the two of you jumped in the water at the sandbar Saturday. Priceless. Can't wait to see you guys again next year. Rob P.S. Billy told me he took pics not in the hundreds, but in the thousands....time to get posting! ------------- 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 |

OK, Josh above beat me to it, but we finally made it back just an hour ago, and boy are we beat. So I won't even try to thank anyone in particular for fear of missing someone, as everyone that partook has a great idea as to what all went in to it and what we all took away. Incredible. I tried my best to shake every hand, hug every neck, and give a big thumbs up to everyone I could. Without a single doubt, this surely goes down as one of the best boating weekends of my life. So thanks to everyone as I'm indebted! I can't wait til next year and even if it's in Alaska, we'll be there.
Moving on: We'd have been home earlier, but Josh, Laurie, Mark and Lisa, Boaty and Skipper and myself all dodged the banjo music and stopped in Tennessee to see Jbear. The stories we had to tell him only sunk him deeper into depression over missing the event. He'll probably seek professional help after he sees all these photos. His lake there is great with some really pristine boating. I'll surely go back as it's only about 4 hrs from us. We liked Green Lake sooooo much we decided to leave the camper, truck, and one boat up there, and all piled in Rodney's motor home for the ride back. Shoreline Marine, (same owners as the Marina and really nice people) provided indoor storage for everything for a whopping $75/mon. So I'm flying back at least two more times to hopefully get a better view of the area beyond my tandem bike beaten path from the campground to the Goose Blind. I just can't let it go. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

If you and Mrs P. fly in to MKE, we'd be happy to taxi you up there as well.

Reid, I know you are used to real big water but don't jump right in to the GL area. Don't get me wrong as it is nice but there are also some even nicer spots in Wis. in my opinion. My up north house is in Three lakes Wis. and we are on a chain of lakes of 28 which range in sise from about 175 to 2000 acres. It is damed on my end (18 lakes) but does have a boat lift over it. It is not a reservoir so water levels always stay at a plus or minus of 4". It is a perfect size for our size of boat. Unless it is a holiday weekend and someone has trailered in a boat, I never see anything over 22' with the exception of a few deck boats and pontoons. We do however get the damn tubers but that is everywhere!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I couldnt have said it better myself. What an awesome weekend- unforgettable and totally worth the trip! I met many of you for the first time (in person anyways) and it was like getting together with a group of old friends- very cool. I cant figure out if Im more sore from barefooting or laughing all weekend. Seeing all the boats was great too. There were too many highlights to even start to name them all, but hopefully the pictures tell part of the story. Ill get some up once Nick gets them off his camera. The event organizers who did a great job- well done Dave, Alan, Keith and everyone else for pulling this whole thing together! Big thanks to Quinner as well for putting me up for the night on the way out AND the way back home- I owe you one! ------------- |

For me, this is perhaps best statement I could ever read. Knowing what kind of boating experiences Reid has had, to have him say this about Green Lake just gives me a huge sense of pride. I would guess even more so for Alan and Dave who did all the work for Green Lake. The weekend was amazing. My greatest accomplishment with this site has been to bring good people together who are now life-long friends. To think that two days in Green Lake isn’t enough and many of you where there Wed-Sun, some traveling over 1,000 miles to be there, it just blows my mind. There is much more to say about the weekend but most of all I want to say thank you. Thank you to Alan and Dave, with out them Green Lake wouldn't exist. And thank you to all who came this year and last year, making it such an amazing event. We’ll be collecting all the photos through an FTP upload and then distributing them to everyone via the site and, if there is enough interest, a 2008 printed calendar. In the mean time, please keep posting photos for all to see. -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |
