Roger & Adie

I guess this is a good time to post, I'm working on sending a barefoot boom to Marty Mabe. It got to Boat Dr yesterday and with Rogers help it will get loaded and on its way to Florida. I believe the plan is for Steve K. To head home with it and if he can't get it to Marty on that trip he will bring it back for White Lake.

This is just an FYI incase anyone sees it sitting around, wish I could have delivered it in person, just wasn't in the cards this year, too many other things going on.

Okay River Rats, just a few days away from the unofficial kickoff to the many gatherings of CCFans across the globe of the 2014 Boat/ski season for us North American fanatics. We have the largest group of River Rats ever in attendance which only goes to show that this event is growing in size EVERY year. Seems as if Half of the attendees are our snow bound friends that quite frankly have had enough of subzero temps and the white stuff. Heck, we may even have to have our first annual "Who's whiter than Gary Starr contest" with the winner receiving a huge bottle of 30SPF sunscreen and a floppy bucket hat!

Looks like from the list we have....most all are in for Fri night Capt's meet and greet which will so those Sunnyland folks that when they picked Correct Craft as the featured boat they made a decision they will never forget and we will blow them out in showing our love for these fine machines we play on with our immediate family, and our worldly family gathered for the weekend. Just a reminder to all to be sure to wear a Correct Craft shirt of some sort on Friday night at the meet and greet. Looks like roughly about 50 people will be there and I wanna thank all y'all for stepping up with the extra $15 a head for attending something that is out of the norm for our regulary scheduled programming but looks to be something really neat and unique for us all to experience.

For those bringing dishes of some sort to the Cookout Saturday. You'll need to bring a serving device along with your dish as the Rec hall has VERY limited serving utensils so drop by the Dollar store beofre you head down and pick up a couple or two.

Those of you who are starting your trek to the river tomorrow or earlier, safe travels to all to drive carefully. I for one, am getting impatient for this SJRR to get here to see, hang, ski and boat with my old CC buddies and meet the new ones I only know by screen name. For those of you first timers to a CCFan gathering. You are in for a mind boggling, unbelieveable experience with people you met.....on the internet!

See ya on the River!

not so fast there Gary, I spent a week with the Bear last month just to make sure I would be out of the running!

My weather says 40% Friday, 20% Saturday and 10% Sunday for rain. Highs of 80! Florida weather can rain and move on in 25 minutes. It will be perfect.

Actually last year we just moved forward with plans despite the rain. It will be a great weekend. I look forward to seeing you Friday morning at the show. I am putting in at Dora. The rest of the gang are heading up to Paramores, where I will meet them later in the day, and take along any who would like to catch a ride up. Will have the 8 passenger Suburban.

Pretty sure Lungren island is submerged right now. We've gotten 5" of rain here last week and more on the way tonight/tomorrow.

Congrats! Looks like a room at the Winnie Palmer Hotel!

Cool. I should be up in Tavares by noon-ish. By the time I get the boat in the ater and I'm on my way I should be at the boat show by 1. Where do we park for those coming by boat?

                                                                                                                                         Lets see here-
1- work at last minute on boat,check
2- work on truck on the way,check
3- common thread here- GM, keep driving those Chevies
Did you have to have bearings replaced etc or just the seals? Driving at 70 for hours on end is hard on man and machine,boat I assume has gone fine?
Hope the worst is behind you Steve,drive safe and we'll see you in a couple of days,the show will be worth it!

I guess I was confusing the coral for those who had water displays. My bad.

I guess I'll have to split it with JPass.
