2008 Northeast Reunion Recap

This is another thread but I was thinking of organizing a CCF weekend this winter either in NY or ME.

-Keith

I hear you about it being cold camping in Oct, Joe. No plans for that weekend yet, so Ill keep it in mind. Like Steve, I dont get Mon off, though.

Putting something together for this winter is another great idea, as I bet several of us 2-plankers would love to meet up as well.

I think so, I am trying to get some hardy souls to camp out on an island with me. Fly'n Bryan was talking about staying up a bit farther north, almost across from log bay. Possibly there are more convienient sites for future reunions. Bryan worked at a marina in that area (Bolton I think) 3 summers and he seemed to think it might work out even better. I didnt get to see nearly enough of the lake so I would like to camp up in the narrows island chain and get more of the north country in. Columbus day is the last state campground day of the year, we usually camp that weekend it can be cold but its generally doable. So yeah a little late season boating, leaves changing in the mountains, maybe a few pulls on Bryan's air chair behind my weighted down 83 etc etc.

Our doors are always open for a CCF in NH. We are having a big slow cooker party on Sunday of Columbus Day. The more the merrier! The Margarita's are flowing and the food and fun are abundant!

So Steve, you can get them to build up a trailer then head back this way Columbus day weekend and spend some time in the area while Reidp and Fly'n Bryan are back and I am working to get a crew together for?

Hey Raindog...did you ever get the measurements for your trailer? If you need any assistance with that do not hesitate to ask.

Did not know that or I would have gave her a ride on reidp Miss River Queen boat...

I have some great pic's to post later..

Again WELCOME!!!!!!!!

Hey! Glad you made it home safe. I love the picture of you protecting Barbie..chivalry is certainly not dead. Your #1 fan is still recovering from the weekend. Did she tell you that she really is not a fan of water? I told her to hang on to the bumper and enjoy the ride! Good times!

Hey...I just wanted to thank Keith for a great job in organizing and executing the Northeast Reunion. What an awesome time! So glad to have met so many great people! I would like to also thank New England Correct Craft, Craig and Fred. They worked their butts off to get the engine in the 77 Nautigue and dial in the alignment on the transmission of the Barracuda. I hope they had fun dealing with us as much as we had fun dealing with them! The boats ran great! A little bummed when we got home from Lake George and unloaded the 2 boats...our season will be coming to a close soon. I am fighting it though! I will be out on the water until it snows if I have my way!!!!

BINGO! Dana helped me secure my boat. We had just pulled in after skiing and hanging out on Saturday AM. Thanks, Phil.

Ok guys, here are some more pic's.

Sorry Ken, I took a picture of Gary's boat. Never even saw you in the background till Hollywood pointed you out.

Wonder how long it took him to realize he was on the wring side, the bilge discharge is starboard.

Mojo,
There where two different 'sandbars' we visited. The first was Sandy Bay which was pretty close to Marine Village (home base) and the perfect spot. We were unfortunately kicked out for 'rafting', i.e. tying up. So then moved North about four miles to Log Bag which has an undeveloped shoreline. Despite the longer ride, I think that's where we'll start next year.
