Awesome

Come on and Join. I think Mojo said we could add if we had more takers... Going to Limp the Show this weekend and then it's teardown time. Think I found another boat to tide me over until I am done with it. Stringers ahead !

I fear this has been the case. I have been waiting for a new drive shaft for mine so it got it's once every three years whether it needs it or not cleaning. (Apparently it had been set on fire at some point within those last three years, which made it a very dirty job). Now the trailer needs new lights, new hubs, new tires, and to borrow some guide poles -I ruled out new paint as I didn't want to make the boat jealous. Then tomorrow I just reinstall the running gear, align it, change the oil, and hope it still runs. This boat ownership stuff is harder work than I remember.

Rob Leinen - congrats on the nuptials. I wouldn't consider renting a tow vehicle, that just sounds expensive just load up the girls and some in the wifes car and head on out, assuming I can get my truck and boat there in one piece you guys are always welcome on my boat for the weekend.

Can't wait to meet up with the old crew and meet some new ones, hoping to make the Goose blind for pizza thurs night lateish.

Coincidentally I will be camping there this weekend and family and will be bringing the boat up. I am wondering what type of event you guys have going on and what it all entails. Thank you!

If you are staying at Hattie Sherwood, you are part of the event whether you want to or not! This group pretty much populates the entire campground for the weekend.

If the festivities are appealing to you and your family (it is a family event with lots of S.O. and kids), feel free to join in. You can register at the T-shirt table Friday night during the boat show.

Basically, the event breaks down like this:

Folks arrive from all over on Thursday and Friday.
Friday evening out of the water boat show at the American Legion Hall (down the street from the Goose Blind). Grilled food and beer provided.
Saturday at Noon-ish, we all cruise from Dartford Bay (near city of GL boat launch) to the sandbar in Norwegian Bay. Anchor and spend the afternoon/evening getting to know everyone and their boats.
Saturday evening - pig roast in the park. Beer provided. Adjourn to the Goose.
Sunday - meet up at the sandbar until folks need to head back.

There is only one rule to the event but it is important. Beware of Quinner. Protect your wife, kids and even your pets. Especially your pets. Keep Coors Light at hand. If he gets too close, throw a Coors Light into a camp site a couple down the road. He'll go after it like a pit bull to a t-bone and you'll have 7-8 minutes to find safe refuge.

Yup my kids are ready.....first time camping so this should be interesting.....

Have fun everyone, we are not going this year .

Just finished the steering wheel. Cleaned it with TSP first. The bucket was disgustingly dirty. Wonder whose DNA is in there? Who could have touched this wheel since 1955? Elvis? Roy Rogers? Howdy Doody? Ed Gein? Yikes!

Looks nice!

Im heading up on Thursday afternoon. Anyone else?

The weather forecast is looking good so far. A little cool, but nice.

Going to hit the slalom course Friday morning if anyone is interested.

Does this course actually exist at GL? I've heard rumors of its existence since the first trip but I've never seen it and it's never been documented that I know of. Is it a floating course or individually anchored balls? Does it have pre-gates? I want to know more about this mystical GL attraction.

Yep, Steve's right. Down by County Park. Far Southwest side..

We'll be coming in late Thursday night.......
Temps through the weekend should get into the mid 80's. Only a chance for an afternoon shower. Should be great.. The water temps are a little cool out in the deep, but in the bay, it's perfect.. Very little vegitation this year... Had a great time with Raindog and crew this past Sat out there !!!

So for Friday, not to worry if you pull in there later. Theres no set hours for the show.. Just come by, grab a beer and register the boat..

Sat, if you don't have a ride, hook yourself up on Fri night !!!! Come by and mingle and or ask us at the registration table and we'll help out..

Only a few days away.. Get those trailers ready boys !!!
