St Johns, FL River

A rare sighting of the elusive Jbear in his native habitat�

"Where did I put those CC stickers?"


Bud and crew




We all hated to see this...


Our good neighbors Adam and Brittney. They were gracious enough to switch campsites with us. I called him at work friday on a bad connection, and I can only imagine what he was thinking! LOL Thanks again!!!








BBQ host extraodinaire Woody with Chip supervising


I hammered BJ with the flash on this one.

Paul,

Your going to have to get in touch with the Boat Dr. for one of those. I believe were donated by Chipper and being sold for $20 a shirt. ALL proceeds from the shirts were going straight to Keith for support of the site. Last I heard from the Dr. himself sometime Saturday was that we had around $900.00. Cool shirt for a great cause.
While we all we gathered round Woody's RV Saturday night we did get a phone call from Keith. The Grand Master himself took time out of his ski trip and was checking in on us to see how it all went.

Hard to believe that this wasn't even an official reunion and the Fans turned out in full force. Can only imagine what an official reunion is like. Kim and I will definately be back to the St. John's next year.

Larry,
We did get some interesting looks as the flotilla of CC's passed by.

The story is that it was nothing but a gag.

Reid was staying in a house around the bend from where Parramores campground was. Once we all got going and came around the corner there was the Orange Crush being "towed". I know that I was caught hook line and sinker, The Godfather shaking his head and probably a few other folks too. Once he got to the end of the parade he unhooked the rope, fired her up then led us all back out to Silver Glen Springs. We all got a good laugh but none greater than his I'm sure.

Ive been following along and have refrained from commenting... but boy am I jealous! Looks like a great time was had by all- I am going to have to take a serious look at attending next year.

I have to say that Im surprised MM wasnt in the running for the trophies- seems like he always has a strong showing! I cant get over how much hull that 409 gets out of the water either... unbelievable! With the hydrogate up it runs bow-high just like the older boats. Now wheres my grinder...

What was the comment made about the grin on my face?


The critter clan


Here's JBear checking the troops, and where I'm guessing the water should be.


And JBear's sharp ride


My favorite shot of Billy with me sizing up the shirts.


From friday


We sure did churn up some water!

Looks like a great time was had by all, but I just have to ask John- What did Lisa do to get stuffed down beside the motor cover like that? She couldn't have done that on purpose!

Ssshhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

From the stories I have heard and the pictures I've seen, sounds like another fantastic weekend with the great people that make up CCF! Like everyone else who wasn't in FL last weekend ... I wish I was there!

Congratulations to all that put this together - Boat Dr., JBear, Reid and others. And a huge thank you to everyone who was able to attend and contribute.

Thank you!

Keep the pictures coming.

Is there a Supra site? Anyone a member to post a picture? They need to see 20 CC owners/boats getting the Supra off the mud flats!

Yeah that would be kinda harsh since 5 out of 20 CCs ended up on that bar over the course of the weekend.

Grand totals observed for the weekend
100 percent of supra owners can't keep thier boat off the bottom

50 percent of Mastercraft owners can't keep thier boat off the bottom (Woody did fine, but the other MC we saw purposely ran his boat so far up the shore at the springs that even though he meant to do it I am counting it)

25 percent of Correctcraftfans can't keep their boats off the bottom

Its a better number but one that shows that even the creme de la creme of the boating public can still be taken by this particular area...

Joe, Alan, Brian and I in Crush, along with John and Jamie in Marshall's boat, were sitting in the middle of the river, cracking open our first cold ones of the day, waiting on the others to come cruising up. And you know when we get together some kinda gag is usually in the making as we quickly decided to add a little excitement and suspense to the event and attached a rope to the Mustang with Crush in tow when we saw the CCF armada coming around the bend. AND BOY DID IT WORK!! You should have seen the wide-eyes and WTF gestering arms in the air. Told Woody and the Godfather, "I knew I should've ordered a Ford in this thing". In actuality, the 409 has never run better, or faster. EDIT: Tim beat me to it.

When I first saw the picture I thought Reid had it proped like a Bonneville saltflat car and what better boat than Marshalls to get him up to speed then cast him off? Looks like a great time,I know I'm trying for next year!
