No kidding, Kristof, they are being mighty stingy with the pictures this year. I wonder if there is something they don't want us to know. No, that can't be it, that's usually the kind of stuff they want us to know first.  Tim, your status sounds a lot like my signature line. I entered that after spending last memorial day up at Brad's. He took me in for the day since I was an orphan with my boat and family down in NC while I was stuck (for 13 more days) up in MA. |

We thought our camera quit at one point, so most are on our phones. Here's a few though...
And what a good time. Thanks out to everyone who made this happen. Billy and Karen look to have a system since I was down last; great job guys! Oddly, I drove into snow flurries and had to winterize. That just didn't seem right after running the river a day before.

Got home around 6:30pm last night after logging 755 miles on the Durango and 81 miles running on the river in 'Miss Scarlett' I put what away what little I needed too and cranked up the fireplace. Left 70'F and traded it for 40's. Damn, I wish I was back in Fla.
Another great SJRR indeed. Many thanks to those that came, pitched in where it was needed especially Sat night at the cookout. If making the trip for the CC's, the water, the skiing, the friendships wasn't enough, you should make the trip for the variety of food that is served. Eddie's deep fried turkeys are a treat in itself, but toss in Bret's wild hog, Boudin that our Cajun Fans brought, the Laos cuisine that Mr's Godfather brings, Joe's NY hotdogs, the pasta salads, desserts and everything else. You are truly missing out. Thanks SJRR veterans for another great time and making the newbie attendees feel very much welcomed and apart of a group they know may know very little about. The smiles on faces that I saw and cries of "Oh, Yeah....we'll be back next year for sure" is what I heard from every one of them. Aside from the many boat issues we had which Adam already described there is never a shortage of boats to satisfy one's needs for a pull or ride or whatever. Just park it in a slip, put in on the trailer and jump in another one. What a great group of people to be associated with. The weather could have been much better and a few of us got caught in some rain here and there but considering it was supposed to rain most of the weekend Mother Nature saw our need and diverted most of it around our little event. I too am a little tired and sore from the 5 day weekend and I'll get pictures up as soon as I can. We ain't holding out on y'all we is just too pooped to post em'! |

Saturday's Run to Hontoon island was a hoot. I counted 17 Correct Craft's, 1 American Skier, and 1 ShrimpTique (NC Skiff). Three didn't make it as they were on the trailers but Big Thanks to Ralph and 'Lil' Sue Palmer (& guest) for grilling out for us!
   FOUR legends in this shot as Art C is at the helm of the 61SN with Lester and Cindy Todd.        When "Murphy's Law" has been tinkering with your Correct Craft who better then Murphy himself to bail you out!   Probably my favorite shot of the weekend. Just wish I'da closed Bud's cover.    New Bling for Chris!  New BLING for ZOE! Congrat's Y'all!

I was soooooo tired after I dropped HW off at the airport sunday afternoon, I had all I could do just to get the boat put to bed by the time I got home. I went right to bad after that and slept for 10 hrs. Got up for work yesterday and I had all I could do to keep from falling asleep all day. Got home last night, got a bite to eat and went down at 7 o'clock for another 11 hrs. last night.
I'm feeling a lot better today. Hanging wih the youngin's about done this old fart in but what an amazing experience. It was truly an honor to get some real face-to-face time with Joe, Tim, HW, Chris, Pat and the ladies (Sara, Lauren and Zoe). Chris and Zoe getting engaged was also a special treat that I got to experience. Congrats guys!!!! Adam, I have to say that I was glad that you didn't ride in my boat with your track record of broke iron in your wake but it was awesome meeting you too. PM me to get my contact info to pass on to your sister if she wants to get together to do some skiing. The Lee St. retreat was certainly a lot of fun and one I'll remember for a long time. Thanks for the memories  I do have some pics that I need to try and get downloaded. I think I need a couple more days to recover yet but it'll happen. For everybody else, it was a pleasure meeting the newbies as well as the returning veterans. The meal on saturday night was amazing as usual although the "French Fry Eddie" moniker from the Smith Family needs some tweeking. Not that manly sounding but then again, probably appropriate by the time I finally got home. Roger, as always a pleasure talking to you and meeting Aiddie (sorry for the spelling or lack there of). I hope that she enjoyed the experience as much as we did. More to come. Hang in there. |

This pic
 Reminds me of the Disney Jungle Cruise.  I guess Reid could always get a job at Disney if he ever wants a change from his current gig. Whose is that nice light blue skier that Murph is working on? Seems I should know that boat, but I can't place it. |

Sat Night and Sundays pics.
More Correct Craft History from Mr. Ralph!           I know, I know....It's Chris' new boat but it is sharp!   We cruised down to Shell Island for some rope swing time and a few Ski Skat runs if you were bold enough t get out there in the high winds and rain showers. Most of us hung out on the island but asked Eddie for a High speed pass when he and HW left...." No Problem!"  Most of the remaining fans who stayed Sun night headed off to the Lee Street house for some down time and Joe's famous sausage burgers and NY Hot Dog's off the grill.   Whats a River Run without the good old Shot Ski? A toast from 3 men and a lady to the St. John's River feet soaking in a hot tub..... "Thank you, St John's for another great SJRR and we will see you again next year!"

Have a couple pics on my phone, and about zero motivation to do work today, so here goes.
Joe and I saw some pretty cool wood boats Thursday and he told me I needed some pics of them-     This one is particularly cool, you can't see it because of the cover, and Joe knows the story better than I do, but there's about a 90 year old man sitting in the drivers seat under that cover who is the original owner, and the boat is all original the way he bought it 70 or so years ago. It takes three people to get him out of it, but the fact that the guy bought it when he was like 20 and is still driving it is pretty cool.  A couple long range shots of the CC Armada getting ready for the run down the river-   And this is what I woke up to today...awesome. Anybody feel like going back to Parramore's this weekend?

We haven't had any issues with gators as of yet. They are mostly present in the no wake zones usually hanging out on logs sunning themselves but I have seen some on the main river. We usually tend to ski/foot board on the wider parts of the river or on some of the narrower, glassy, parts of the river after the armada passes. The lily pads break up the wakes nicely so you don't have shoreline kickback. However just because you don't see em' doesn't mean they aren't there. Just don't lollie gag when someone is in the water. |
