WHITE LAKE 2017

I'm in!

the monahans.dan,david,scott,gene,and friend ryan.    93 ski nautique in tow

Townsend is on the road, so I will take a crack at this.

Folks start accumulating friday and will either be on the lake or gathering at the White Lake Motel and Campground.

Things get rolling saturday morning. Conditions permitting, (wind, temp, no rain) folks will start hitting the water at sun rise. They will play out on the water until late morning or noonish. Those not interested in water sports will be migrating from the campground to or arriving at WLM through the morning. Boats are displayed at WLM and they provide lunch and have a nice parts raffle. Early afternoon, everyone puts back into the water and drives around, rafts up, or tries water sports, although the lake quality in the afternoon isnt great for that. Late afternoon, folks that are staying migrate back to the campground for a group cookout. I (like you?) am close enough for it to be a day trip, so I arrive as early as possible sat morning and hang out until the lake activity breaks up in the afternoon.

Last year, I would guess about 22 boats and maybe 40 or 50 people.


Nice recap of last years event starting on about page 5

Thank for the replies and all the details. No plans to bring our (206 SN) boat but will officially register and look forward to meeting other "CC Fans"

I am checking the calendar... Would like to get the Bass Nautique there to be part of the record!

I rented a cabin at Carolyn's court ... he may have a few rooms still available

That would be so cool.

Oh, and a skutch sighting? I'm 4 years overdue!

Whats up all. This year will be a bit different..... kind of a one off year. With the record setting event things will have to be altered. This year we will not be having a static display at WLM. We will need all the time on the water we can get pulling Shaun. So with that said..... we will hit the water Saturday morning (exact time TBA). I will be set up on the Roswell Marine Audio pontoon boat. You can't miss it... all black and neon yellow. You will check in with me and whoever I have on the boat and be assigned a staging location. We will have 2 ''pods'' of boats staged and waiting for their turn to tow. It will be a straight line pull from 1 pod to the other. Shaun will drop and a boat at the other pod will be waiting with a rope to pick up and tow him. It will be a back and forth tow between the pods with Shaun dropping and switching at each. We will have 3 or 4 ropes so that while he is riding the next boat can be getting the rope ready. I will have 2 or 3 guys on jet skis/smaller boats running point for us to keep other boat traffic out of our way. Still finessing the final details but this is a round about how it will work.....

Food: WLM will not be feeding lunch this year. With us being on the water it will be hard to coordinate lunch. The Marina at White Lake will be open with hat dogs and such for you if you would like that.

Door prizes: I am still planning on doing door prizes but it will mor than likely be done Sat night at the campground.

I know this plan will not be happily met by all but like I said this is a one off year. I could not pass up the opportunity when Shaun approached me about coinciding his record with the reunion. I hope it will be met with understanding as either way we are going to have a great time. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be glad to help anyway I can.

By the way.... had a great time with those of you I saw at the River Ruckus for the few short hours I was there!

I only live about an hour or so from White Lake. But I'm trying to get some fillers out there on if I should try to sale my 1982 mustang while I'm there. Or if this particular reunion is more of a gathering. If I get some interest from the pictures on this post, or if any of you guys tell me that it's worth bringing and putting a for sale sign on it then I'll do just that. Sorry, but a couple of my girls wanted to be in the photos.

Has the Saturday schedule been firmed up? Hat time do you think the record breaking will finish up? Is there a plan to do a group lunch somewhere on the lake - understanding it would be bring your own lunch? Thanks

Steve,

My Denver, NC hitch will have my boat hooked to it.

Just sent you a PM about a barefoot suit.
