Then I need to hustle and get it wired, etc. I still need to build a folding bow stop and guild poles. Then get the boat to the glass shop for a windshield, then I have an appointment June 22 to drop it off for a custom cover. I'm gonna have some loose ends and I think we will christin it at the campground boat ramp!

Alan, if there is a man that can finish that work of art on deadline, it is you. I am sure you would like to have a few shakedown cruises under your belt before the big event, but it would also become a cool part of ccfan history if its maiden voyage after the restoration was on Green Lake during the reunion. Worst case scenario you would have no problem finding a tow back to the ramp .

I second that. Where's everyone at?

Ok guys.. One month to go for registering for this awesome event. Not sure where you guys are all at with your plans, but before you know it, we'll be there. Sign up now... WE NEED MORE attendees !!!! So get busy and hit the link up top and get signed up ....

I'll be there with my 87 Nautique however I hope it warms up a bit here in WI.

5 weeks, I am getting excited.

Well I finally got myself on a working computer long enough to sign up. I went out to CT last weekend and spent three days training for GL, we footed on ice cold, rough water, we worked on strangers correct crafts, we imbibed, we ate well, and drove around in cool boats with fun people. So I am feeling pretty well prepared.

Sounds like the east coast contingent will start moving on Tuesday July 16th (4 weeks!). After a quick stop in Auburn NY for the night, we will be heading out relatively early Wednesday the 17th. We will be rolling through the cleveland area around midday if anyone wants to join the convoy over there... I think Adam Deen almost has gundriver convinced on joining up.. there is always plenty of space left in the easy coast convoy! Should be there in time on wednesday to set up camp and hit the goose while they are still serving food.

This is the big trip of the summer.. get there! Who else in New england wants to roll?

And pray hard for lots of sunshine between now and then. Was out on the Jetski this afternoon on GL as a storm rolled in (4 footers) and that spray is still REAL cold. Was old enough and wise enough to not actually get in the water.

In spite of spray hitting me in the face, I didn't think I drank that much that it would be all in my head. In the past in late fall, I've waterskied and two weeks later at the same location snowmobiled. So it doesn't stop me, either. But someone needs to look after Pete's welfare....

By special, in a short bus kind of way, invitation. It ain't the same without you dude.

As long as you bring beer Quinner....Joe is right, it wouldn't be the same without you there. especially at the Goose!

I'm your man if you choose this option. I can spell you in spots as well, if you like.

What is this now?? Better be family !!!

Not family but close enough. She would disown me for the rest of my life if I didn't come to that Dave haha. HW will be down in Indy that weekend for a wedding to so we can have a CCF mini on the river with the N3 crew and others. Probably foot it up then go grab some adult beverages.

I feel crappy I can't make it.

I was thinking maybe that Joe. I guess I could leave late Friday night. Wedding is at an odd time 11 on Saturday morning.

Maybe I could just commission my boat driving buddy to fly me to the lake. Maps says 5 hours and 53 minutes. I bet I could do it in 5:20 with the boat.
