Lanier Gathering Oct 5, 2013

Okay Atlanta area CCFans here is your notice...... After hearing from several members about an End OF Season gathering for the GA guys (out of staters too) we're nailing down this date for a gathering of sorts. The up in the air plan is to gather up at the north end of the lake close to Greg and Amy's place (Gainesville). A phone call to the Buffalo this morning said he was okay with us using his dock for Ground Zero but he may be out of town for the weekend. He should know in a few days whether he'll be around for sure and just plan to grill out etc. at his place. Y'all pipe up if your coming or possibly other suggestions to gather up on the south end but weather permitting...we're doing this thing! The more the merrier

We are in!
let me know how I can help?

Tim...looks like we can make it as of right now. Looking forward too it!!!!!

Sure am ready for a break to the lake after the kind of day (and week) I had yesterday. Was not able to chime in on this until now.
Robin and I are in!
Tough decision: High School fortieth reunion? College and fraternity homecoming? or CCFans on Lanier?
Let's go skiing and boat riding

74Jeff, no problem catching a ride in something. Plenty of boats to choose from and I do realize it's REALLY not the end of the season for us Georgians. We've got till at least Nov.

The little birds had better be there as I may be crashing at their nest for the weekend

Our boat is stored on Buford Dam Rd and we splash it close to Lazy Days Marina. Is there a ramp closer? If now, how do I get there on the water (besides following the other nice Correct Craft's)?

Jeff, I'm sure we can make something happen

Jim, found it and will tow to the place.
I'm sure we can hash out details (time etc) on short notice

You can also put in at Gainesville Marina. Short trip up from there.

Thanks for all the ride offers!

Tim: I was just kidding with you, great timing for and end-of season gathering. Don't ya just love boatin after Labor Day, though? We were out weekend before last and saw maybe a dozen boats all day.

Can some one recommend a good place to stay close by that doesnt cost an arm and a leg.(leaves out lake lanier island resort)

I'll be out of town and Amy is way out of town. I also had my annual luncheon with my insurance agent, and he hates the idea of me having folks over without me home. It came up in conversation and, now that he knows, I'd have no grace. I'm going to miss seeing all of you and having a 'borrowed' driver who knows what's up. I haven't ridden near enough this year. I was planning to get as many of you in my boat as wanted and see where the wake went...oh well. Yall have fun and make us wish we had been there!

So, Greg...You're saying we can't have a kegger at your dock while you're gone???? How 'bout we just invite your insurance agent, would that help? [<:o)]

Great photo. Sept/Oct in GA is glorious,eh? On Oconee Sunday and saw maybe twenty boats all day...a 100K Mastercraft zipped by with buncha hydrofoils up in the rack, guessin' mighta been the X-Air Madison guys out testing(?)if so,seen 'em before.looks like some serious fun.

We had a Supra/Moomba get together at Young Deer. It was at the park across from the ramp. There is also a island with a sandy beach now that the water is lower. 6 mile is another good location. There is a ski cove next to Bald ridge I will check it out this week.

South end of Lanier is fine with me. Depends on what Mike and Gail want to do with regard to the pontoon. Traffic has been a lot lighter on the lake since football season opened up. Had a great afternoon Sunday!

I chatted with a old friend of mine from grade school via FB who lives on the water by Bald Ridge marina and told her about our little mini. Her husband is a skier and they own an skiboat of some sort (can't remember what it is...never heard of it) and would like to join us for the day. She also referred to that ski cove by marina as that's where they go. Food for thought.
