SJRR 2012

    Thanks for the input Billy but while the boatdr is undoubtably a marine professional, JoeinNY is a recreation professional... this is what I do, please don't be offended if I do with your recreation advice what you would do with my motor repair advice.

    The intent of my post is to share just enough planning to make sure people know what they might experience should they come down.... and make sure that they know where to go and who to contact when they get down there so they don't wander around by themselves when they could be hangin with the fans! I hope you don't feel I was trying to dictate to you what you must do with your vacation.    

    I have selfish reasons for all this of course.. I like to meet and hang out with as many people as possible, and I try to make sure they have as good a time as possible so that they come back either the next year or another event so I can hang out with them again. But, it is a victimless crime, so until the fun police catch up to me I don't plan to reform.

Joe, great overview. It gives us newbies an idea of what to expect. Its helpful to know where people may be, especially those of us who will be relying on others for on-water transportation.

I'll pack a barefoot suit.

Billy, did your computer get tired of all the SJRR traffic on the site and quit on you?

Hollywood...hope it works out in favor of a trip to come down and play with us.

Jonathan....no worries my friend, you don't need a boat to hang with us as there will be plenty available to catch a ride in. First time I met JoeinNY was at SJRR a few years back as he just drove up in the rental car, parked it by the ramp, jumped out and said "Hey, I'm Joe Fennessy... can I hitch a ride?" picked him up on the dock, tossed him a cold beer and we've been friends ever since.

Joe, I for appreciate the long post as I too am dragging the boat down for an overdose of watersports, boating and etc. Thanks for the breakdown and you and I both know that most of the weekend we just play it by ear but still kinda sorta come up with a "plan".

Plan is for me to leave before the sun comes up Thursday morning so I should be there by lunchtime.

LOOKING FORWARD TO IT FANS! DON'T MISS IT AS IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT ONE!

I may be calling one of you to come pick me up! [/QUOTE]

That should not be a problem Eddie. I'm sure there will also be a boat hanging around that you could also jump in and head out to meet us. I'm not a barefooter, but I'm plan on being out there early also, because I love to see the early action. If you need a ride I can shoot back and grab you. Of course, that means commandeering someone's boat (probably one of Reid P's) to make it back, since I'm flying in.


Joe's "no plan" schedule makes me want to bump my flight by a day and get in Wednesday evening. We'll see. (BTW - thanks for the loose schedule. I know it helps me. I'm sorry to be missing the fried festival on Wednesday night.)

Tim Morfoot....it sounds like we should be arriving around the same time on Thursday (unless I'm able to bump my flight), so maybe we can hook up if the guys are out on the river.

Stace & I and the security (our 4yr old German Shepherd) will be leaving early on Thursday so the plan is to be rolling in at Parramores by around 9am.

Eddie, this is from the day your engine got sick. Now I'm kind of curious to know how many minutes a month he uses.

Chances of anyone catching the 83 are slim.

I am more of the if it aint really nice out then I will head to the boat show type… If not glen or run around the lake/ personally I plan to surf the heck out of the bhectus boat since they will be in full effect by then.

Game on, but I hope I'm not the only goofy footer! I surfed behind it last weekend for the first time with only 600 lbs and my wife as a driver. We'll be sac'n the bitch out at the river.....

me...a social butterfly???????

actually I can't wait to get there friday am so we can start having fun!

and of course I can't wait to see all my C/CFan buds...

but I sure am lookin' forward to some footin' with my partner and anyone else who'll let us tag along.

Always happy to head up a committee or lend a hand! Hope I didn't somehow give you the feeling I wasn't.

Jeez Joe, what are you thinking trying to get people excited about watersports at a Correct Craft Boats inspired gathering

Doc,

This is hilarious. I'm assuming you're joking. I've never known Joe to "blow smoke" (well, besides a couple of motors maybe). I know you've met Joe at several events and if anyone on this site continuously backs up what he says, it's Joe.

I know that you've owned this event for the last few years and no one is trying to take over the non-planning of the event. You have to admit that with so many folks rolling in, it is pretty nice to know some what/where/when. A loose schedule is welcome by most, if not all. The newbies are more encouraged to drop by if they know what's going on. It would be pretty disappointing if someone dropped in on the event and the campground was empty or nearly empty.

Anyway, fun will be had by all, especially me (probably being pulled behind Joe's boat. )

I don't know about a leash but someone needs a muzzle.

Hey now gentlemen, while I appreciate the attempts to defend my internet honor all we have here is a case of Billy being Billy and Joe being Joe. Nothin to it but a couple of old friends pushing a lil back and forth... don't let it ruin your day ... I can assure you that it hasn't ruined mine or Billy's

On that river I think the first to fall might be dinner...
