SJRR 2013

Time to start the final planning stage of this years "event".

There have been no majors changes in the venue for SJRR 2013.

Karen and I will be in Alligator Alley again.

With the meet and greet being held on Friday afternoon, and a buffett dinner served that nite.
The "River Run" to Hontoon Island will again be our destination with lunch served at the park. The Skippers meeting will be at 8:30 Departure time will be at 9:30, with no exceptions..

Guest speaker , Mr. Ralph , will again be there to share another "chapter in CC history". Times will be announced soon, for his talk, followed by the Cook Out...

I just talked to Lori @ Parramores about available sites. Those that have waited will be pleased, a few cabins are available off water.I have listed those below....

There are 3, 2 bedroom cabins and 1, three bedroom still open ...

There are also 2 tent sites left open....

There are also 11 RV Sites for rent also......

Karen and I will answer any questions about this years event @

See Ya In March.....Billy and Karen

Hey, Boat Dr, took your advice and lock up a tent site, T3, at Parramores for Friday and Sat. night. I hope to have my daughter wuth me for Saturday night. She will get there from Orlando before the regatta sets sail Sat. morning.

Ohhh Morfoot will be there alright but when is the question. More than likely I will head out dark 30 on Thursday and return back on Mon at some point.(Unless the BoatNurse calls me again on Wed morning saying I'd better getmy kiester down there) Guess it depends if I have anyone with me or not. I've been working on Jimsport93 and the nautiquehunters trying to get them to commit to going. I still got a couple months to put some peer pressure on them.


Just a reminder that y'all need to start thinking bout what you're bringing for Sat nights cookout. I talked to the bear last night and he told me that Eddie and his deep fried turkeys won't be back this year so that part will definately be missed. The Doc or I will start a Whatcha' Bringin' list here soon as the time to plan for Saturdays cookout is here.

Yes, sir......Never leave home without her!

If you can swing the time frame you're more than welcome to hitch a ride with me. We're do a phone call anyway.

I just talked to Lanie. There are 2 trailers and 1 tent site left.

Ken, glad to see you coming.. I will bet there will be some cabins renters that will share costs..If you need more info , give me or Karen a call.
Do you have dates for stay, some of us get there a few days prior...And "HAVE " to leave on Tuesday....See ya there

Ken, sent you a txt, let me know if it didn't come thru- I have more than one number for you.

Joe, I cannot agree more....

The Sunnyland Antique Boat Show, is a must see for all that have a love for "OLD BOATS".. There is a reason that the dates for SJRR were changed , see above. This event is in full swing on Thursday, Friday and peaks on Saturday.. There is time for all to enjoy the full spectrum of the boating world, when you attend the SJRR 2013.


This has become "THE EVENT TO ATTEND" on everyone's "bucket list".

Karen and I would like to thank everyone for their help, and advice to bring this event to the next level...

As far as the Monkee Run, that may be added to this years event. All we need is head count and a senior skipper to "GUIDE" the "Three Hour Tour". Can we count on you JOE ??????

As a group , we did the run two years ago. No problems with underwater debris, but "NO PLACE TO PEE" was the biggest issues we delt with. The run in is about two hours of "Dead Slow/No Wake" a bit shorter on the ride back to the landing, but still a long time when ya gotta go.....

There are a few turns that can fool you on the ride "Home" but again one of the many "gotta do that again" events that await those the attend SJRR........Billy

IMHO I don't know if you'd see allot of the Monkeys in the trees like had one the first one as the trees are leafed out in March but weren't when the SJRR was held in Feb. I know I didn't hold the 'Yellow River' from flowing for 4 hours and neither did most of the GUYS who went. Funny things happen when you mention the word ALLIGATOR to those standing on the platform changing the water temp. The Ladies on the other hand.... Different story.

No problem being the last boat out of the Glenn huh Foot??? hahaha That is one loooong ride with no place to get out. Women had to die on that trip.. Monkeys were cool as were the crocks !!!

Moj'

Monkee Run, if there are enough , will also be on Friday.
I am sure there will be more than a few that go to Sunnyland Boat Show also.
There are always options and no plan that says you can't...

Glad to be getting there on Wednesday and Leaving Monday morning. I excited for this years trip down. Going to be a long drive, but well worth it.

Okay Fans we're less than 7 weeks away from the coveted River Run which means it will be here before you know it. For you southerners it's time to bust out the wax, the teak oil and start getting your babies ready for a road trip to sunny Astor, Fla. We need to start the proverbial list of whose coming, when ya getting there, and whatcha bringing for Sat nights cookout. We need to start getting a head count for T-shirts, River Rumbles IV, and etc. The Doc will pipe up with info regarding Fri nights Dinner as he and the Nurse take care of that part of the SJRR. Those of you flying in for the event aren't getting off easy as there is always a need for sodas, water, plates, trash bags, charcoal, lighter fluid, 'Red Solo Cups', napkins, ice, etc. You get the general idea. There are plenty of stores enroute and a small one in town so.... See a need FILL a need. As with SJRR and CCFan tradition no one goes hungry and help is usually abundant.

For you first timers, bring your boat, and your babe if you got one and enjoy hanging with your fellow CC Fanatics for several days of running round on the St. Johns River skiing and boating till you can't go anymore then chill out in the evenings with great food, fellowship, old friends, new friends and a shot ski or two. If you're boatless there's always extra room in someones boat so don't let that deter you from going. Put away the Parkas, your thermals, your snow boots, start busting the rust out of those joints, hit a tanning bed once or twice (Gary) and grab your swimmies, your flip floppies, your sunglasses and start the Ski Season off with a BANG!

Let's get moving on this!

Morfoot(2) - 3?-3/25 Carrot & Coconut Cake, & 'Miss Scarlett'

Slow down there a bit Joe, WE have this under control.......

Thanks for the heads up, SJRR 2013, is only a few weeks away.....


Karen and I will start a new thread for needed supplies and a list of attendee's complete with dates and phone numbers.
Some will arrive early and stay late, while others will try to make the most of the time available.
As in the past, we want this to be a family event, so please be respectful of others.
Lori and Parramore's are the reason this event has grown year after year, lets all work towards a common goal...
