Sorry man. She's docked at my buddy's place along with 2 other boats. He's out of room.

Rosconole and I put our boats in earlier today. See you guys tomorrow.

Not sure. We helped fill up sandbags last weekend and offered to help set up the course tomorrow. I guess you could always go over and see if they need any other help. We're keeping our boat right around the corner for the night, so I'll just drive by and offer my help. I'll be there around noon.

The whole premise of this event is more than just a party on the water. There is an obstacle course that is set-up for kids and adults to "run the course".

There are prizes and such for people who run it. The whole things is a fundraiser for Leukemia. I do believe there is a raffle as well for other prizes and services.

Here's a pic of the course from a year or 2 ago. Not sure what it will look like this year as it changes from year to year. I'll be out there tomorrow to help set it up, so I can try and post pics tomorrow eve.

We're putting the boat in tomorrow and should be at the sandbar around 8:30. Going to try to get a spot on the line of the course. Should be a great day.

:( dang must be something pretty good

Sorry to hear about the shotgun wedding.

Just over a week away. Do we know who's definitely going?

I'm pretty sure the following are attending:

Myself
Rosconole
Halfnelly
Smithfamily

Anyone else?

The address for the church right next door to the ramp is:
1001 Hoffner Ave
Orlando, FL 32825

Ramp is on Randolph Ave.

Lol, my bad. I'll see what I can do, need one of those parking passes!

Doh! Always when I can't make it. My wife's working late tonight and I'll be busy trying to make dinner while watching a two year old and 4 month old.

I know we will be there and Rosconole as well. Not sure who else from the site are definites.

I was out there today and most everybody I saw said they were going. It's going to be amazing as usual.

only a month away. No word on the paid parking yet for those that were interested.

We are putting in the night before. Looking forward to meeting up.

I thought about going to this as Conway is a favorite of mine I don't get to much anymore and it's for a good cause but then JPass threw a video out there and whoa, what a crowd. People don't get in trouble for parking behind the 7-11? For some reason I could see the PD there or the owners wanting to fine those trouble making, dangerous, rift raft boating people.

Jerry it's hit or miss in the afternoon. You could luck out. It's happened to me before. You can park where Ross said which is half a block away on the other side of Hansel St or you can park on the easement in front of the church or just across the street from the ramp on Randolph.

Shouldn't be too difficult. The shallow is on the SE of Lake Conway.
