Three Lakes, WI Reunion 2017

Sounds like an absolute blast to me! I have not set my dates for the Summer yet. I can move things around fairly easily.   Are we thinking of a weekend day, or weekday?   Weekday will give us better water, but could limit our number of attendees if folks are only up for the weekend(s). I vote for a weekday if the group can make it work. That said, we could easily make a weekend day work. :-)

I can't even remember the last time that I ran a course. It would be awesome if we could make that work (as long as everyone keeps their sense of humor because it won't be pretty...at least not at first).

LOVE your "additional thought" below. We're up north a ton, so I'm "in" on that too.

Almost missed this new thread. Nice work Joel, Curious what lake your on that is that "remote"
Im obviously in - probably wife and two kids also. Open to whatever works for the group. Up in Phelps july 22- august 5. Can bring a boat or just leave it at the lake.

Count me in....never been to any kind of boat reunion before, so am a TOTAL NEWB to it, and a relative newb to my Ski Nautique. But I am up in Minocqua all summer, so am available whenever.

I'd head up depending on the timing. Maybe August? My grandparents live in Arbor Vitae and I go up there several times per year. Usually do a week at clear lake as well (camping and a barefoot bay).

If the timing is right we would head up as well.

Hey Joel, Joel mentioned a time he and the family would be up that way. perhaps the group could accommodate his original post to a get together??

Still in. Let's do August

Watercraft sales 100 year anniversary customer appreciation day Aug, 5th I'll see what I can get out of John and Ryan!

Hi Pete and crew,

As Pete mentioned we are having our 100th Anniversary the weekend of the 5th, but we would love assist any way we can with this CC Reunion if it is the following weekend.

We could clear the docks and have a place for everyone to tie up and get a photo etc, We can also let our customer base know that there is a gathering if the idea is to get as many CC owners to attend.

Basically we are willing to help out as much as you need us to. Certainly, not trying to hijack the event, but want to make sure you know that we are interested. I can also discuss with the Chain o Lakes Ski school, to see about getting a reduced rate to run the course behind their 2017 ski nautique 200 on big stone. I feel pretty confident about getting that done.

Please feel free to contact me any time via email or cell phone.

Best Regards,

Ryan Lamon

Sorry for the delay in reply here- I was on vacation (waterskiing) when Ryan's post came in. Ryan, that sounds awesome! Wow! I'm fine focusing the event on the 3-lakes chain. After all, there is a course on Big Stone and Watercraft Sales is really in a great spot right on the water. Peter and Ryan, since you're both local, do you want to help take the lead on the logistics? I can certainly help in any possible capacity but I'm just not up there every day.

We Would be around for doing something Friday. Saturday morning we need to clean up the cabin and pack up. I think we would swing by for a couple hours before heading home

Info to help us out of towners plan the trip:
Would we launch and park at Watercraft Sales?
Hotel or campground close to WS by land or water??
Is the target Date weekend of 8/5 or 8/12??

I to will be out as I am already out of town both those weeekends in Aug.

08/05 is out for WCS as that is our 100 Anniversary. So it would have to be 08/12 for this to work for us. As for launching and parking, space limited. If it were after hours or before hours, we could accomodate a group launch. That said, perhaps we can utilize a different launch, and use WCS as a home base for docking.
I will discuss with Pete on this issue.

Thanks!
Ryan

Joel,
Without me going back to find your planned vacation up here, what weekend would work for you? No date is set yet.
