Great Time!
Terrific meeting everyone and their rides. Val & I counted over 18 boats wet...with more available! Special Shout-outs to: Foot-Fungus, Iaughtnot, Swatkins, Jmurph, Wayne(Dwouncmd) and Gail (Mrs. NautiqueHunter)...Great Air Chair students: The force is strong within you! Swatkins, Gail and Foot-Fungus for footin' on Charlotte's Inland Sea. Val and I were disappointed to leave tonight but we were soooo glad that we were able to come, play and share our love for these boats, each other and towed water sports! Time to go to bed and apply aloe to my face for my sunscreen failure..... Steve |

Reid, thanks again for your hospitality. The whole family had a great time hanging with you and the the other CCFans in your little slice of heaven. With the rain last night and this morning, we did not make it back
I met so many people I can't keep them all straight, but special thanks to the Steve, Steve, Jackie, Adam and Val for pulls and Air Chair lessons, and Morfoot for the pull and chance to ride his Burner, and to Curt for being observer for the little ones. John, my kids really enjoyed hanging out with your kids; they definitely wanted to go back, rain or no. Fun times. We will have to host a Mini (and I mean mini, we definitely do not have 20 boat parking) at our place some time soon. |

Thanks to Reid and Laurie and all who helped make it happen. Had a blast. It was great to see some of my up north buds and to finally meet many of the southern contingent. |

Pete, Pat Crusse of Crusse'n Classic's in Mooresville, NC is a wooded boat restorer on Lake Norman. Pat's son's restored this 56 ski atom this summer. The Century ( FRP Hull and wooded Deck is also their boat. Pat is good friends with Reid. Go to www.crussenclassics.com. The build of this 56 Correct Craft is well documented on their Web-Site. FYI, Donald |

I've talked with Pat regarding the restoration. I just didn't know that was the 56 of his son's. The last time he called me, the boat wasn't finished. |

Pete,
I am not 100% sure about the ownership. I was told that the son's did the resto and the boat was their's. However, it my belong to the company. My memory got cloudy on Saturday. There were some grapes in the bottom of a mason jar that tasted very good. LOL Donald |

I'm not sure who owns the boat, but I did talk with Pat, Matt and Ryan and the boys did restore that boat over the summer. REALLY great work.

Thanks again to the Pinkhams for hosting another great weekend. Saturday was about as beautiful a day that you could ever hope for in October, and boy did it turn around in a hurry! Great to see some old CCF friends and meet some new ones at the same time.
Not a great video but there are some cool fly bys at the end. |

Will do.
For those who left Saturday, you missed out on an awesome Sunday despite the New England style temperatures! We started with some morning coffee with a special mixer courtesy of Jmurph. We then proceeded from Reid's compound to Bojangles (big treat for this northern boy), the BBC to see some other boats, then Race City Marine so we could all comfortably hide inside the storage of the new G23 and followed that up with a competitive pitcher drinking competition while enjoying football as a group. The night ended with some cards, beer, moonshine/shot ski action, and everyone falling asleep on the floor of Reid's living room. What a great weekend! Thank you again to our hosts and everyone that came out. Tim, Tique and myself are currently making our way through West Virginia with ol raunchy behind us. |

Just landed home in Cleveland...awesome weekend. A big thank you to Laurie and Reid for hosting us this weekend, and also to Joe, Steve, Steve, Matt, Mike and Gail (and whoever else my 8-hours-in-the-car brain is forgetting) for letting me ride in and behind your boats and ski on your gear. It was great to see everybody again, and to meet the folks I hadn't before. Cannot say enough about the experience of meeting and hanging out with other CCFans. Plus, only one person threatened to stab me this weekend, so bonus. (and she knows I love her anyway ;)
I hope everybody got home safe and with everything theys started with, or in Eric's case, maybe even more. Can't wait for the next one. |

nothing like the healing touch of an independently non-licensed massage therapist to wipe away a few good faceplants...I highly recommend picking one up

The auburn NY contingent had a nice lazy Monday return trip. We made a stop out in in maiden to hide my 83 amoungst the Pinkham collection, then turned north.
We had no traffic or other issues, made a nice dinner stop up in , lunch in Roanoke, VA, dinner in State College PA, then back towards Auburn. We were surrounded by beautiful mountains and colorful leaves just about the whole trip (couldn’t see them the last 5 hours but they were there). Saw some flashing red lights in the rearview mirror about 10 miles out from home, but it was a just a bored cop looking to use a bulb out as an excuse to find out what we were doing on the road at Midnight on a Monday. He gave up the hassle on quick and soon we were home. Good times with good people as usual, thanks to the hosts, helpers, cooks, drivers, brewers, etc. |

Oh, and if anyone is looking to order me a new G23 for christmas this year save yourself some money and order it without the "autopilot option". Turns out it is just some guy that lives in the storage compartment and comes out to drive when you dont want to do it. Not a bad idea, but if you think gas prices are bad you should see how much it costs to feed this guy.

^^True story... not cheap!
Many thanks to the Pinkhams and their supporting cast- world class hosts! Had a blast, as always- too much fun. Great to see old friends again, and meet a few new faces. That skiff is serious... and a little bit frightening! Eric and I got back to NJ around 7pm last night, where I dropped Ole Raunchy and headed to CT. Great weekend! |
