****EDIT******* Just bumping up this old thread instead of creating a new one... Go to the end of the thread..... July 10, 2013



Okay Lanier/Atlanta area Fans. Several of you that I've talked to have said "Hey, we need to get together on Lanier soon." Well, soon is long past so lets do it instead of talking about it. I say lets plan on the weekend of the July 20th. I'm off F,S,S so any day would work for me or a combination there of. Pipe up, clean em' up, raft em' up and let's do some skiing together!

Tim, would love to get together. But, we are at North Myrtle Beach the week of the 20th for Flamingo Fling XXVII....our annual beach trip with 35 of our closest friends!
And yes, we look forward to seeing you and all the CCFans on Lanier very soon.

I'd like to get out on Lanier as well, haven't been there this year so far. Was planning to go to Carter's this weekend, but Lanier is good too. I don't know the lake at all, so I'd probably have to meet someone who does at a ramp.


Posted By: Morfoot
Date Posted: July-26-2012 at 1:08am
That I'm not sure of. Jim and Mike know the lake better than I and they usually put in at Deer Park or another ramp that I can't remember. Hopefully they will chime in and make suggestions as to what ramp or a rally point on the water at a certain time (like we did last fall) and parade over to a place where there may be good water to play on. Jim, Mike?

I usually put in at Charleston Park on the Cumming side of the lake. Off exit 17/Hwy 306 off 400, turn right, then turn right again on Brown's Bridge road. Charleston Park is about a mile and a half on the right. Deep water ramp with a good dock (especially with the water down). We can ski in Six Mile Creek or cruise down to Young Deer Creek (both on the Cumming side). Got to hit it early for good water. Mike and Gail may want to hit Shoal Creek which is on the Buford side. I will put in at Charleston Park and head across to Shoal Creek if need be.

Picking up my old (new to me) 1986 2001 Nautique. First boat I have owned in years. Should have it out on Lanier this weekend. Will probably launch it from Port Royale. We have a house boat and pontoon there so seems like a good place to drop it in the water.

Im all for firing up the smoker and throwing on some Chicken for the day on Sat. Greg is gonna let us use his place for the day which means a dock to hang out on. SAFE place to tie up while you go for a drive/run in another members boat, a boat ramp just around the corner, and the smoothest water we will find for Lanier on a Sat. Heck Ya I like it!

I'm looking forward to a few pulls where I don't even have to think about the driver. And I want to pile the bfn full and see if we can find the old wet foam wake.

Someone bring a shot ski and I'll dust off the vew-do board.

Is Saturday up here approved? We need to hear from a few more folks.

On the other hand, I probably won't drive to the south end 2 days in a row, so we could ride. Little River Park is the ramp you want, and I'm good with daybreak.

Shoot me a PM.

Had to look that up. I've always called it Lanmar; didn't know there was another entity there. Depending on schedules, I'm going right by there in the morning.

Greg, I don't get up there too much. Is the little river ramp and dock ok with the lake being down?
Maybe, just maybe, might be able to get out there on Friday afternoon on the south end. Will have to see how it goes.

I launch out of Burton Mill its just south of Holiday Marine nothing special but close to home. With the water down Shoal Creek will be cramped with more than a few boats moving. Young Deer is a great place just the other side of Lanier Island. I have a full tank of $3.09 a gallon SC gas and will go where ever the CCs are.

Little river is good. The short ramp is closed and has a boat breaking sign welded in place. It has to get pretty low to close the long ramp.

What time are folks starting tomorrow?

I mentioned it because it's been replaced more than once in the past. It's a 4" box tube welded in place.

Pete, he was with Nautiquehunter, who picked him up at the Nashville get together. Not sure who was doing the dog watching before Nautiquehunter got him.
Mike gave him to me to take home. As we were leaving yesterday, Morfoot and BuffaloBFN walked up to my Suburban to say goodbye to my wife Robin. She was in the truck icing down her knee after taking a shot to the knee from a ski. Bully was sitting on my dash and Tim says "is that Bully?". Tim has him now.

Greg,
You just hit a "sour note" with me. Just yesterday I just ate my last can of boiled peanuts!!! I fell in love with them when 30 years ago I made a service call down to the Rodenberry pickle plant in southern Georgia and the maintenance manager turned me onto boiled peanuts. I have friends in the atlanta area so they will occasionally bring me some cans. Other than that, I have ordered cases on line. 1/2 regular and 1/2 with hot peppers added!!

So, if you ever come back up this way (GL reunion?) you had better though a case in the back end of the truck for me!!

No sweat Pete. It's a little tough finding a place that doesn't sell them here. Maybe you need a witch's cauldron out in that new shop? I'll be accross Lake Michigan from you off and on until february, you could scoot that in the Atom.

Tom, of course that's me, but Ted did stop by.

Jeff, that was water. The lid was broken, so it took a recent shot. Will fix!

Again, it was great to meet the new folks and to see you 'old codgers'. I know one of the new young-uns went home with bragging rights.

Sorry for the late post guys but it's been a long week. As always I had a great time spending it with the locals. The day is never long enough but we all enjoyed the day hanging out and pulling each other around in whatever boat was available. Big Thanks to the Hunters for putting me up for the weekend and Mike spoiled me by having PLENTY of room in his barn for both his boats and tow rig but 'Miss Scarlett' and my tow vehicle as well. Pretty neat to leave them both hooked up and out of the weather.
Big Thanks to Greg for opening up his home and back yard to play around on and splurging for the chicken. The water was awesome and the Fans were even better. Lots of laughs, pulls, and CCFamily time were enjoyed by all and even a new to him Supra guy who hung with us. Won't be too surprised if he's out shopping for a CC after spending the weekend with us.
The Hunter's and I along with an old friend of mine (Kim) from church back in high school who I hadn't seen in 30 years ventured out to the infamous Sunset Cove on Sunday. Her 17 yr old daughter wanted come along and bring a friend but just wanted to tube. I fought the good fight but caved in as most guys will do for a woman and agreed. Mike was loving every minute of it as yes....'Miss Scarlett' was pulling a.........tube. (Sorry Pete!)
           

Truthfully though, a tube was really the only thing you could do on the way over to party central as the water was so churned up I could only go about 18MPH and was still dodging wakes from 40ft yachts cruising at 20 kts or so. Ya gotta see it to believe it. We did find some realtively calm water off to the side and I convinced them them to ditch the tube and try a kneeboard. THEY LOVED IT! " OMG Tim, that was so much fun and better than the tube!" Music to my ears and the smile on my face said it all. Took Bully with us so look for pics under his thread.

Bottom line is Great time, with Great Folks, on Great Boats! Let's do it again soon Guys!


Mike and Gails 89 Supra...This baby is in pristine condition.





Kim's daughter Mallory on a kneeboard for the first time after ditching the tube!





Mallory's BFF Allison's turn.





Anchor whereever you can find an empty spot in Sunset Cove but be sure you have some eye candy to look at if you didn't bring your own.





Me on top of a floating dock that a local Marina pushed over for the day so Patrons could get 'Blobbed'... Mike launched Gail about 20-25 ft. but Kim didn't get a picture as she was having to play first mate.





Then it was my turn.... The Marina set me up...I wasn't quite prepared to get 'Blobbed' by two guys. Waaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooo!




I guess tubes are good for one thing!

Tim, Robin and I went to Sunset Cove last night for the "Full Moon Party". Live band and fireworks. On the way out, about 10:45 pm, it was dark. Moon shrouded by clouds. I pulled in behind a big 45' or so cruiser running about 15mph. Throwing a huge wake. Followed him out to the main part of the lake. Then had to jump that wake to move on ahead in the big water. That thing was putting up probably a four foot wall of water...kinda fun! FYI, I did keep a safe distance behind him and figured if he hit a low spot in the lake then I would have time to back off and get out of harms way.

Tim, Robin and I went to Sunset Cove last night for the "Full Moon Party". Live band and fireworks. On the way out, about 10:45 pm, it was dark. Moon shrouded by clouds. I pulled in behind a big 45' or so cruiser running about 15mph. Throwing a huge wake. Followed him out to the main part of the lake. Then had to jump that wake to move on ahead in the big water. That thing was putting up probably a four foot wall of water...kinda fun! FYI, I did keep a safe distance behind him and figured if he hit a low spot in the lake then I would have time to back off and get out of harms way.


four foot wake? guess that'd require a little strategy; i.e. ease over it or give it some gas to land flat on the outside...yikes..

Sorry for the late post guys but it's been a long week. As always I had a great time spending it with the locals. The day is never long enough but we all enjoyed the day hanging out and pulling each other around in whatever boat was available. Big Thanks to the Hunters for putting me up for the weekend and Mike spoiled me by having PLENTY of room in his barn for both his boats and tow rig but 'Miss Scarlett' and my tow vehicle as well. Pretty neat to leave them both hooked up and out of the weather.
Big Thanks to Greg for opening up his home and back yard to play around on and splurging for the chicken. The water was awesome and the Fans were even better. Lots of laughs, pulls, and CCFamily time were enjoyed by all and even a new to him Supra guy who hung with us. Won't be too surprised if he's out shopping for a CC after spending the weekend with us.
The Hunter's and I along with an old friend of mine (Kim) from church back in high school who I hadn't seen in 30 years ventured out to the infamous Sunset Cove on Sunday. Her 17 yr old daughter wanted come along and bring a friend but just wanted to tube. I fought the good fight but caved in as most guys will do for a woman and agreed. Mike was loving every minute of it as yes....'Miss Scarlett' was pulling a.........tube. (Sorry Pete!)
           

Truthfully though, a tube was really the only thing you could do on the way over to party central as the water was so churned up I could only go about 18MPH and was still dodging wakes from 40ft yachts cruising at 20 kts or so. Ya gotta see it to believe it. We did find some realtively calm water off to the side and I convinced them them to ditch the tube and try a kneeboard. THEY LOVED IT! " OMG Tim, that was so much fun and better than the tube!" Music to my ears and the smile on my face said it all. Took Bully with us so look for pics under his thread.

Bottom line is Great time, with Great Folks, on Great Boats! Let's do it again soon Guys!


Mike and Gails 89 Supra...This baby is in pristine condition.





Kim's daughter Mallory on a kneeboard for the first time after ditching the tube!





Mallory's BFF Allison's turn.





Anchor whereever you can find an empty spot in Sunset Cove but be sure you have some eye candy to look at if you didn't bring your own.





Me on top of a floating dock that a local Marina pushed over for the day so Patrons could get 'Blobbed'... Mike launched Gail about 20-25 ft. but Kim didn't get a picture as she was having to play first mate.





Then it was my turn.... The Marina set me up...I wasn't quite prepared to get 'Blobbed' by two guys. Waaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooo!




I guess tubes are good for one thing!

Okay, CREW.... I'm bumping this up as a few of the guys have been itching for a gathering of sorts. Looks like the girls and I are heading up Fri Morning to spend a couple days with Nautiquehunter on the water. Those of you who play on the south end of Lanier pipe up and we'll have a good ol raft up or something Fri night or Sat if the rains will hold off. Mike's added a couple new toys to his barn so we may even have over very own Correct Craft ToonTique to anchored out to raft up to and grill out. Will probably head over to Deer Park or ??? to partake in water sports then do Sunset cove just so my girls can see the chaos on a Fri night. Anyway most of you guys got my # and sorry for the late notice but the weather as we all know has been .

Any of you Lanier guys know of a better spot (other then Buffalo's) pipe up and we'll see you this weekend.

Didn't mean any offense Greg.. The weather is kinda shakey, kinda of a spur of the moment thing,... besides.... I think all would agree that we'd prefer to have a seasons end blowout at your place.    

Chicken, BBQ, fantastic venue, more notice to get people there and better weather...Surely the daily rains will end sometime ??? Wont they?

I got it Tim and didn't take offense. You left your chain unattended.

The end of the year thing sounds good. Because of those rains, thunder on lanier is moved to labor day...
