Call me Charlie Brown if you like but I really dropped the ball on this one. We've known for at least a month that Joe Tim and Tim and a few others were dropping in next weekend, Oct 6-7th, but being completely tied up with work and a bunch of other stuff I completely forgot to post it here until Donald reminded me just the other day. But anyway, as we've done several other times over past years at around this time, we've got a handful of CCF folks coming into town, and I just wanted to make sure that EVERYONE knew that EVERYONE was certainly invited. We'll have a number of boats out on the water and the water is still certainly warm enough for activities. So again I apologize for the very late notice but hope that some you guys can make it out regardless. We've got the bedrooms accounted for but there's still plenty of tent space in the yard like we did in the past as well as some other local accommodations, so come on out if you can! ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

John, I was thinking of you yesterday while I was putting a part on a truck tht was heading to Annapolis. If I had more lead time, I could have had the engine on the back of it, too. Not enough time to do it or check with you to see if it was doable. |

Sorry Bruce, no pickup truck bed … keep meaning to get me a pickup truck but my house is where old suvs go to die and never quite do, I might however have an empty hitch on the way back if someone is trying to move a boat or trailer in a northerly direction, perhaps one of Race City, or PCI Marine’s low hour beauties... Looking forward to getting in a weekend on the water… planning to bring down the 83 (assuming I can Frankenstein together most of a trailer for it between now and then), and my usual pile of watersports equipment … if anyone needs a pull we should be able to accommodate most requests. I plan on bringing down some sausage, hofmanns, salt potatoes etc. for the crew. .. not for me of course as I subsist completely on Bo jangles Cajun filet biscuits whilst in Mooresville. Also I plan to be at the Charlotte airport on Saturday morning around 10 am if anyone needs a pickup, or for us to leave you a car. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Steve, I am also looking forward to meeting you and Val. Also, any other new faces. I live across the lake from Reid in Denver and it looks like a few of the crew in attendance will be staying at Sha La Donald's. Just a short boat ride across the lake will do it.

There will be a pickup bed and an empty hitch coming from and returning to Ohio as well. Don't know if that helps any of you guys trying to move stuff around. I'd say there's a pretty good chance my old man is up for a little skiing too. Randy, Justin, Ohio Tim (since there's already 3 others in the mix), anybody need a ride or ready made excuse to feed the wife? and Joe, I don't know what this lake looks like, but I certainly wouldn't hate another look at that parasail...this time with the big girl rope...just sayin... ------------- bring the ruckus http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5347" rel="nofollow - 2000 Pro Air |

Adam, The lake is very large. It has over 550 mile of shore line. It is man made via a Dam in the Catawba River which is called McGuire Nuclear Station ( Duke Power). I have seen several parasails on Norman in the past. I do not fly very well. I am not areodynamic enough. Pete, Reid's home is in Mooresville, NC off of Brawley School Road. Lots of Motel / Hotels in Mooresville which are 15 minutes from Reid's home. Mooresville is 30 minutes North of Charlotte on I-77. You can also visit Nascar shops in the Mooresville, Concord and Charlotte area. I hope this helps, Donald |

Those of you old timers who have an interest in barefooting may recall the name John Gillette. Long before the internet, he wrote the definitive guide to barefooting. I reached out to him a couple years ago and followed up this morning. Here is my note and his response. Great guy. A bit of trivia on the V-drive BFN. Hi Larry, Nice to hear from you and welcome to the South! The Correct Craft gathering on Lake Norman sounds wonderful, and I would LOVE to be part. However, I will be in Orlando October 5-6 for a Sea World Water Ski Show Reunion. It is disappointing that I can't attend the Correct Craft gathering in my back yard! Please tell folks it was an honor to be Product Manager for Ski Nautique and Barefoot Nautique from 1984 to 1990, and that it brings me great satisfaction that I may have made some small contribution to their enjoyment of their boats. Interestingly, in about 1989 sitting around a Correct Craft management team meeting, I presented the bold idea of using a V-drive in the Barefoot Nautique to increase it's speed and open up the cockpit. No tournament inboard company was using a V-drive, though Correct Craft had back in the '60s. The plant manager dreaded the idea...more difficult from a manufacturing standpoint. There were chuckles and rolls of they eyes, but the idea developed and went into production in about 1990. Soon afterward Mastercraft came out with their Maristar V-drive, and the trend took off. Amazing how V-drives are the bulk of inboards today! Please let me know the next time you are in town. I would still enjoy connecting. John On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 11:06 AM, T. Lawrence Hineline <lhineline@joyceengineering.com> wrote: John, My name is Larry Hineline, you may or may not recall that I contacted you a few years ago, asking if you had any copies of your book that you might be able to send me. The book was my, as it was so many people’s, bible on learning new barefooting moves in the 80s, and through the years and many moves, I had lost mine. You sent me a new one which I very much appreciate. I mentioned during one of our couple conversations that although I lived in MA, I got to NC on occasion, which I have through the years. But now, in reaching a fairly long term goal, I am now a resident, over in the Pinehurst area. I had also mentioned that if I was ever in the area, I might reach out to you to see if we could get together for a pull and you said to let you know. Next weekend, (Oct 6-7) a number of us Correct Craft Fans ( correctcraftfan.com ) guys are getting together on Lake Norman in Mooresville. I was wondering if there is any chance at all that you might be interested in getting together with a bunch of boat/water sport enthusiasts. As a rule, we are vintage Correct Craft guys (60s, 70s 80s) but there are some new boat guys too. In fact the host of the gathering is one of the owners of Race City Marine, although this is by no means any kind of “official” event, just friends getting together. For the most part, we are all just recreational skiers, footers, riders, but we have a good time. I would really enjoy the opportunity to meet you, maybe even foot a little together. I know you are not a real regular any more, but I did read someplace where you still like to get out once or twice a year. Maybe this could be one of those outings. Let me know what you think. Thanks again for your book, great memories of a lot of great times on the water, along with some great spills. -Larry ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

John, No Bribe needed. I am sure there will be enough adult refreshments on hand. There will be plenty of boats to give you a pull. Norman is large and many boats are on it so you better be up early or out late to go footing. However, the boat traffic has slowed greatly since labor day now that the kids are at school and the tubes are in storage. Joe, Tim, Adam, John M, and Steve are big into footing so their will be some action happening. However, did you notice I left my name off of that list. I am too pretty for face plants. Donald |

 C'mon Joe you've known me long enough that I was just throwing that back at ya. I talked to Reid last night and we discussed a couple of things with food being one of them. Joe is bringing his famous potatoes and dogs so I had asked Reid if he'd like for me to bring up my electric smoker. We can do whatever we want as in Chicken 1/4's, hams, turkeys roast whatever? I threw the idea of chicken 1/4's at him as I can get about 20lbsof quarters on two racks, they are relatively cheap( like $5 for a 10lb bag), and can feed a small army which sounds like what's showing up anyway. Just toss em on, plug it in, and go play on the water for 5 hours come back and you've got chicken that's awesome. If one of you guys wanna bring that with you and a big aluminum pan to put them in then we won't have to worry bout it. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

I am trying to get Bethany excited about an "adventure" with the kids, so we will see, that is if Reid is OK with a couple of more adults and kids (she likes to camp, so maybe we could tent out on the lawn?). ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6535&sort=&pagenum=2" rel="nofollow - 89 SN <a href="http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6567&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow">7 |

Reid will be fine with a couple of extras. Definitely come on out!!! On another note, the Murphy's will be bringing 20-25lbs of pulled pork BBQ. My wife has a good recipe, so that should go a long ways for a lunch or dinner supplement on one of the days. We will also bring some cole slaw for a side or topper. We're looking forward to seeing everyone. When we made our plans, I thought this was going to be a small gathering, but it's shaping up to be a full on CCF romp. The fence sitters better come on out. |

does anybody have any idea of a head count? when we were at benjamin pond I thought it was just me Tim Joe and Eric...that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. with no official green lake this year, are we knocking on the door of eclipsing the largest CCFan event of the summer? ------------- bring the ruckus http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5347" rel="nofollow - 2000 Pro Air |

Well-- CCFans bring some extra cash.. I'll take orders for CC Spare Tire Covers, Guide Pole Covers, etc... I'll bring some CCFan.com decals 2 for $5-or-5 for $10. I'll bring the Skylark down on Friday morning sometime. I'll leave it there for anyone wanting to take it for a Spin I have to get back home Friday before 5 pm. My sisters and I are throwing my Dad his 80th BDay Party on Saturday the 6th at Noon. I told them anyday but that day-- but they scheduled it anyways. So I'll leave the party by 3 pm on Saturday then, Karen,Stephanie,and I will be back down by 4 or 5 pm hopefully. ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |

I just got back home from Reid's. I live a short boat ride across the lake from his home. My daughter ( Natalie 11) and I arrived about 6:30 PM. She loved playing dock ball with Boatie, Skipper, Winston and Emile ( All Dogs). Shortly after I arrived, Steve W. and Steve K, Gail H and Vale K. had just gotten back from Footing and Air Chairing. Steve W. rode the chair for the first time. They shared some great cell phone video of them footing off of the boom of Steve W's boat. As I was leaving tonight at about 9:30, the crew of ten were heading out for Dinner. They were headed to a nearby watering hole of Reid's. It was time to get my little girl home so we took the short boat ride back across Lake Norman. Folks had been hanging out on the dock and enjoying each other's company. A great time was had among friends. Tommorrow should be a blast. The weather is great and temps will be in the mid 80's. Sunday will be cooler with highs in the upper 60's. The lake is still warm enough to have fun. Thanks to Reid, Laurie, Boatie, and Skipper for being such great hosts. Donald |

Hey guys......just to add what Donald has already added. Things area going great up here at Reid's. Not a whole lot of skiing going on today as most of the day was spent just hanging out with CCFans. Trip to the BBC to bring back a few boats to play in this weekend, stopping by Ray City Marine to check a few things and get a chance to climb all over a G-23, then off to advance auto for a new battery for 'Miss Scarlett '. She needed to be jumped started when Mike, Gail, Reid and I went across the lake for breakfast. So didnt get out n the water til almost 4. Not a whole lot of skiing just yet as as we were shuffling boats round etc. Did get Eric Svensons new old boat 'Ole Raunchy' in the water but had to tinker with it a bit to get it running rite. Tomorrow's activities will be for favorable for pics....don't u worry. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

it takes a special kind of sickness to think its a good idea after driving 7, 8, 10, or even 15 hours to break out a voltmeter and some flashlights at 3am and start tinkering with the electrical system on a 40 year old boat...and yet somehow there were 6 of us there...get in where you fit in I guess ------------- bring the ruckus http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5347" rel="nofollow - 2000 Pro Air |

Donald, You know how the Skylark works and cranks--- It's just like a Muscle Car sometimes-- you have to really pump on that gas to get her all revved up:) Make sure Steve Karras is alright with it-- Tell him not to Baby it . Even though she's 46 years old- she still likes it rough  I didn't put but 8 gallons of gas in it- So keep an eye on that till I get back down there around 4 pm-ish. Gotta throw my Dad his 80th BDay Party, then we'll be down. Get some pics of the CCFans in her- remind Steve to get pics too!

Reid, thanks again for your hospitality. The whole family had a great time hanging with you and the the other CCFans in your little slice of heaven. With the rain last night and this morning, we did not make it back I met so many people I can't keep them all straight, but special thanks to the Steve, Steve, Jackie, Adam and Val for pulls and Air Chair lessons, and Morfoot for the pull and chance to ride his Burner, and to Curt for being observer for the little ones. John, my kids really enjoyed hanging out with your kids; they definitely wanted to go back, rain or no. Fun times. We will have to host a Mini (and I mean mini, we definitely do not have 20 boat parking) at our place some time soon. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6535&sort=&pagenum=2" rel="nofollow - 89 SN <a href="http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6567&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow">7 |
