SJRR 2014

skierox wrote: Okay, so here is the deal. My family will be flying in from Minnesota for Spring Break. Is it possible to join in on the party. It's been a long winter! We had 50 days of below zero temps this winter, so we bought tickets to Florida. We fly into Tampa on the 23rd and leave on the 31st. So, we plan to tour the Nautique Plant sometime during the week. We would also enjoy going at least one day to the River Run. What day would be best to attend and what is the cost? How many hours north of Orlando? Sorry, really on the outside looking in on this one. Any help appreciated. Thanks-Scott

Scott,
We have a factory tour setup for wednesday morning at 10AM (tentatively)already with The Godfather. Myself, JBear and Quinner are picking up Kapla from the airport at 9AM and heading to the tour right from there. That is subject to change though depending on Kap's flight status. Guess we're kinda at the mercy of the airlines at this point.

You're welcome to join in on the tour if you'd like.

Guy's with "Plastic" boats like Beavers!!

Eddie,

Can "anyone" join the CC factory tour on Wed?
We will be somewhere in FL all week. Not sure of our "day by day" schedule, but would love to see the factory sometime?

OK, so here is the plan. I talked to my wife, sounds like Thursday is the day for the plant tour! Thanks for the offer on Wednesday, that would have also been awesome. It sounds like we will be in the everglades on Wednesday, but if something changes, I will contact Quinner's phone. ScottZ, I will contact Larry about scheduling in on the tour Thursday. Hopefully we can get a chance to see Bruce from the parts department!

We are also in for Saturday! Is it possible to get a contact number from someone to help coordinate a time and place to meet on Saturday? BBQ after a day on the water sounds awesome, let us know what we can bring to help the cause. Hopefully someone will have space in their boat for some extra CCF passengers! We look forward to getting in the water, hopefully ski! All this sounds like an absolute blast! It's been a few years since going to Green Lake, so it will be great to see old friends!

Thanks for all the response!

BTY-We still have about 32 inches of ice on the lakes! Spring temps in the 50's have finally arrived here in Minnesota.

WOW, it's almost time again to see everyone and meet new members as well..

For an update on the tours, I will be giving a tour for the group on Wednesday at 10. But I will not be here on Thursday, so you will have to get the tour from Larry. Scott just let Larry know you want to speak with Bruce on the tour.

Looks like this event will have a great turn out....

I'm thinking me and the wife will be lodging around the event area.

Just trying something new this year..

Dave

That would be great! We would have lots to talk about. I had a 1973 Red/White and Blue for about three years. I will call Larry on Monday. I was hoping for something around 10am, but we are very flexible for the afternoon.

How many in your group? When I call Larry, I will include your numbers with ours.

Anyone else from CCF, let me know, I will include your totals too.

Scott

We are touring at 10 am. There are 4 in our group.

Not everyone is convinced.

Yeah, you better make it 10am as folks will be crusing in Thurs afternoon and ready to hit the River for some water activites and a pull behind 73.

get ready

Scott, We'll be putting in a Parramores Thursday afternoon and playing on the St. Johns River and probably head to Lungren Island, Lake George if the wind isn't blowing and the water is glass or, The Silver Glen Springs. It's roughly a 6 hour ride for me so I plan to be there round 1:00ish and will be ready for a cold beer and a ski run. We've been out on Lake George once in the 5 years we've been doing this when the water was smooth as glass and we were running boats 6 a breast at 35 mph within 20 feet of each other. It was REALLY cool to see and be a part of til the speed demons started racing and pulling away from the rest of us 40mph slow pokes.

Here's what I'm taking about....Wakeslayer took this in 2009!

If you need a ride thur am, I hope to be there with my 76SN in need of a copilot. If I have cell reception 706-957-1186. Look forward to seeing you at parramores.

we are flying in Wednesday evening. We probably won't be around on Thursday, going to see my wife friend. After that we will be willing and able to be co-pilot. Really looking forward to this!!!
