Hey Everyone. Ken from Lake George here. Been a while since posting anything, yet I have been following closely just haven't had much to say. Anyways, we can't wait to see everyone again for the CCF reunion. Yet wet last year, it was still a great time and look forward to another successful event. Very excited to have Adirondack Pub and Brewery on board with us again helping out with Friday Night a tapping more of their tasty brews. The crew at Adirondack Marine is also excited for weekend and plan to be present for all the events. Last year unfortunately we were consumed with a boat show that ran the same weekend but this year we are looking to ski and enjoy the weekend with everyone. Also Off Shore Marine in NJ has been kind enough to bring up the all new 200 for us to show off and get on the water. I know everyone is eager to take a first a look at the new Nautique addition
We look forward to seeing everyone and enjoy the rest of the summer. Any questions about the LG area or related topice feel free to get a hold of me. - Ken |

I was at lake george for the last week, up in Ticonderoga which is the opposite end of lake from where the reunion is held I believe. But none the less the lake was beautiful and I saw a couple other nautiques out there. I am really looking forward to the reunion in September!

Keith, I just registered and need to know if any dock space for us is necessary at the host motel? Marine Village offers dock space @$55. per night per boat.
Also is there any chance when ordering the shirts that you can get xxxl? |

My boat will be ready for another Ralph Meloon Sr. autograph. The prior owner got one on the bottom of the observer seat. One more will look real nice!
A ski behind the new 200 will top my season off. Counting the days until LG. Maybe it will be warmer than GL. ![]() Ken |

harddock, We have about six spaces at Marine Village at no charge. It is first come first serve however. Many people pull their boats at night and we found last year there was enough space. I was one of the few who left my boat in the water and I had dock space each night. During the day people come and go and we're not afraid to double up boats if need be. Yes on the XXXL. Shirts have not yet been ordered for Lake George so we should be able to get the size you need. On anther note, we have 24 rooms reserved at Marine Village so when booking your room, please tell them you are with CorrectCraftFan.com and you'll be there for the Reunion. Thanks, Keith |

Does anyone have a portable slalom course to bring for the reunion? Or would it be to much of a pain in the butt?

I own a portable course. I brought it last year but we never put it in. I'm often just to busy at these events. I will bring it again and talk with Ken about finding a good place to set it up. Maybe someone would volunteer to take it for the weekend, set it up and take it down? That would be great! -Keith |

Slalom course? Is this to run the fast boats thru in addition to the straight line speed runs?
Speaking of speed, and I believe we may have discussed this several years ago; instead of doing what we just did at Green Lake and record top speeds, would it be more interesting at Lake George to do a skier or barefooter pull? |

I would be more than happy to volunteer to help set it up for the weekend if you think its worth doing Keith. Im a first timer to the reunions and from what the pictures have shown and peoples discussions we have a pretty big group of barefooters so a course may not be worth it if there aren't enough people wanting to ski. But from a personal stand point I would love to have a course to ski at LG. I have never set up a portable course but if theres someone else who has done it and can either help me or give me directions I would be happy to be that volunteer as i know your weekend will be very busy Keith |

Talking about a ski course, I think Ken know's about a lake that is close by to ski in. We talked about it last year, remember Keith? I think Ken will chime in soon.. To help on the guy's that what to run on a private lake close by. Dave ![]() |

I mentioned this before but Lake Schroon is nearby and is supposed to have nice water. We plan on coming in on Wed and skiing Schroon Wed and Thurs. Unless a private lake comes up? ;)

I can help with the slalom course, and willing to sacrifice my body to a fast pull. Also looking to split a room.

There are a bunch of lakes in the area with courses. Let me do some leg work and see what we can come up with. If Keith is willing to haul his up, I'm sure we could get some volunteers to help install it so we can stay on Lake George. There are some nice bays to play in, depending on wind conditions.
For Reid's benefit maybe we could get the local sailing clubs inflatable course markers and set up a speed run slalom course. Yet I doubt he's up for the challenge. Ya Think. - Ken |

I don't mind bringing my course - especially with the new Ski Nautique 200 there. I imagine there will be plenty of PB behind that boat.
I plan to be in Lake George mid-day on Thursday so we'll have time to scope out some locations on LG. In the mean time, I'll work on any necessary permits. -Keith |

Does anyone plan on arriving early on Friday? I'm checking the interest level for some skiing/footing early in the day, not crack of dawn but 10-11AM.

I know that if there is a Friday morning session planned that we could get a good crew together and maybe even explore some near by waters if LG is a bit messy.

I know so far Mark Mel is headed up early Thursday morning with their boat, and I will be leaving early Thursday aswell with the 2008 ski nautique. If and hopefully we get the 85 back together by then as we have been busy with vacation and activities the next 2 weekends as that when we only have time to do the work on it.
There will be acouple of us there early and we can get a more accurate number as we all register. -Phil |
