"10th Annual" SJRR 2019

Well probably that too but they were triple checking.

Okay River Ruckusers here's the latest and greatest info. I talked to Terry Fiest today and told him we were coming down "By Sea" and we had a rather big group of CC's and asked if they'd be able to accomodate us. Yep, we sure do so you guys come on down and we'll give you the same deal as years past. $5 a person to get in instead of $10. Just let me know how many are coming ahead of time and we'll get wristbands for you. They'll have 70 boats in the water this year as some of the docks have been replaced but not all. They're glad we're coming.

So here's the Cabin and shirt size list that I HAVE SO FAR.... shirt design is still being worked on so it may be a surprise to all of us. If you wanna shirt then you'd better speak up. Action Screen needs #'s the first week of March to run them so get moving.

I have a special request for those of you attending this years River Ruckus. Most of you who are my FB friends know that I'm involved with Operation Care Package that the Mechanics here at Delta send every week. The items in the boxes are provided by donations of those who work here OR through money given to the project or by Grits fundraisers. The need for money that other charitable organizations that the TOC is involved with has closed the funds for Operation Care Package for now. The money raised was spent on groceries for the troops.

I'd like to ask all of you to help me send stuff to our troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and even on a boat somewhere by bringing something that we can pack in a care package. Candy, nuts, hot sauce, crackers, jerky, anything from home that the service won't/can't provide pretty much anything that isn't perishable or chocolate.. I know that the troops would appreciate it so very much and you won't have to foot the bill for sending a care package abroad. The VP of Technical Operations has been paying the Postage Bill for it. Last I heard, it was around $15k for 2018. If you can that would awesome and I know the Coordinator of this weekly operation would be appreciative. I'll even be sure that River Ruckus Coozies go with the packages from the stuff y'all donate. Thanks in advance for your help in this effort for them....... See ya on the River!

Tim i dont have head count for friday but put me down for 2.   

You’ll be fine. The only area of concern is the sandbar in the lake as you approach. In the 80’s inboards had to be walked across the bar. But that bar must’ve been reshaped over the years. Once in the run it’s smooth sailing with 3/4 of it safe speed. If you look on the map the run is kinda of in a mamassi e cove which usually shelters the bigger water that you encounter on south end and at the Glenn.

If its windy you guys should ride down to Blue Springs or Hoonton island. I always thought Salt Springs was a long rough ride in any boat. Water is still high so depth should be no problemo anywhere. Its been pretty breezy lately.

Last weekend I drove up to UF on my motorcycle. I stopped at Silver Glen (Our usual stop) and then travelled on to Salt Springs. It is a long ride by road. I actually thought how long of a ride it would be by boat, and then add in the Lake George wind chop. My opinion would be not worth it. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I've been to both and The Glenn is way better than Salt Springs. More room, more to see, etc.

Orlando76 wrote: Jerry, were you going jerry-actric speed? Additional :15 by boat maybe. If y’all never been, I suggest going at some point. Less crowded and that stuff you might have in those little red cups is allowed in salt springs.

I was taking my time. It was a beautiful day, I was heading to UF and early. "Jerry-atric" good one. When I drive the Jaguar Vanden Plas, I am always accused of that, so possible?

Since it has been a long time since I spent any time on this site, I thought I should check in. I have been working on the '61 Ski Nautique in hopes of getting it ready for the event. Some of you might know that the engine failed on me at the 2017 Masters. I nursed it through the opening ceremony, but it has not run since. More on that later.

My plans are as follows: I will probably go directly to the launch site for the Oklawaha river run to Lake Dora for the boat show. Phyllis will be going with me, as she lives in that direction.

We have reserved the Otter cabin for Friday and Saturday nights. The accommodations are a loft upstairs with a double bed and a bunk downstairs consisting of the futon and a single bed. If someone (or two) would like to share the rent, we can work that out. Please contact me. Some of you have my email address and/or phone number, or you can Message me through this site.

Thanks, and we'll see you there!
