Chris and any interested parties. While in keeping with SJRR tradition of the plan is there is no plan, BUT it has been asked to repeat this trip down the Ocklahawa River as part of the Ruckus. Rodney Hubbard found it searching the maps and suggested we try this a new adventure. Yes we did end up at the Dora Boat show after about a 2+ hr journey which included going through a lock in which Rodney almost fell in when the Lock Master started filling it up the surge of water almost tossed him out of Moody Blue.
I contacted Art yesterday and asked him if he new whether we could make that trip from the Silver River (same place where we started the Monkey Run a few years ago) as the two join but don't know if the water is deep enough on that part of the river......... The trip would include another lock and would definitely be an all day affair including the show and we'd have to get an early start to be back through both locks before they close. Last year we put in at the first lock AKA Moss Bluff Lock & Dam. Nice facility and we hauled boat from there south. We should have plenty of room in boats so by all means plan on making the trip. There is a Marina about half way down to top off tanks if need be and of course at Dora there too.....Be there or be left behind. |

I strongly discourage putting in at the Silver River going to Dora.

The run up silver river sucks do not recommend. For some reason these tree and nature lovers will not clear the any of debris. Even out in the main river. I guess they forget back in the late 1800s that was the only transport to ocala. Before rail and all that
If you must go i got john boat. I will go onstep further. If you do go i have some spare props and i think one drive shaft |

If you wanted to see a some of the ocklawaha and less of a boat ride. Nelsons fish camp on 42 is good. Dumps right into lake griffin. Easy from astor about 30 to 35 minutes. 40 west to left on 455a by alexander springs to left on 19 headed south. And a right on 42 fish camp on left about 12 miles

Well thanks guys for the heads up. Looks like we'll put in again at the same location as last year. Still a fun scenic drive and we were running about 25mph most of the way. Bill we will leave Parramores by 9:00am I would think. So we'll have plenty of time to get there, see the show and head back possibly get a ski in along the way. Give me a shout if you have any questions.......... Guess we'll see you sometime during the Ruckus Mike?

Just the first half mile is hairy. Smooth sailing after that. |

My schedule has loosened up a bit. I might be able to be there Fri-Sat and even a small chance I might be able to bring the '61.

Thanks for the input guys... Looks like we need to launch from the Moss Bluff Lock and head to the Dora show from there. Don't want any underwater gear to become a part of Florida like Reids Rudder last year off the classic. Google Maps says its a 31 mile ride from Parramore's so we probably need to be on the water by at least 10am. Tanks full and ready to go.
Art, if you're bringing the 61 I may have to talk you into a pull behind it!

Art - sure would love to see the 61 if it works in your schedule!
Sounds like the run down to Mt.Dora would be a blast but let's be real.....I'll be happy to be on any body of water that's not frozen. |

I'm going to do the best I can with the time I have...... Last year at the Masters it tried to lay down on me in the boat parade and I haven't touched the engine since. I hope it has healed itself!

I’ve got about 44 hours before boarding a plane and heading down south, after missing last year traveling for work I am glad to be doubling down this year. I have a wallet and know where the grocery store is so I will fill in as needed on Saturdays dinner, and I am always good for Gatorade as proper hydration is almost as important as sunscreen. For those wandering around central northern florida next week the rough plan for a few of us is Sat, Sun Night– Jacksonville Monday Night – Green Cove Springs Tuesday Night – Palatka Wednesday Night – Welaka Thursday Night on – Astor - Parramore’s If you are in the area or want to be give a call to 315 567 1273 |

Pretty sure Stacey, Jillian, and I are in for Saturday. Just got my boat back from shop, had trolling motor put on.......yes, a trolling motor! (I got more fish in the freezer than hogs this year). Looking forward to hanging out and catching up with everyone at the Glen. Jillian is starting to swim like a fish. We are doubtful for dinner though, will be making the trip back to G'Vegas to make sure Ridley hasn't spilled her bowels onto our carpet.

Sounds great Bret looking forward to it.
Update everybody. Seems the Correct Craft HQ is on board with us and is donating some stuff to us. Therefore we will have a silent auction on Sat night during the cookout so you'll want to be sure to be there for that. Some boat specific related stuff but also some Nautique branded items and probably some Correct Craft branded items as well possibly like sweatshirts, T-shirts, etc. so a huge thanks goes out to them for donating this stuff for us to use. The action will close shortly after the cookout so be sure and bring some extra cash or your boat fund bank to bid on what you want. We'll be raising a Ruckus this time next week. Drag your boat down and join the fun! |

Nope.....ya gotta be there to get to see what it is just like the River Ruckus T-shirts. Once folks see the shirt.......they're gonna be begging for one. Once you see what's on the silent auction tables or pics if you didn't come. You're gonna regret jumping of the wrong side of the fence.

I purchased my new Nautique today. Plan is to have it at the river next weekend provided I do not uncover any huge issues between now and then. The family may be joining me as well.
