HOPE THERE IS ANOTHER, BUT SEEING THAT THERE WERE ONLY 4 SMALLER BOATS. ME BEING ONE OF THEM. KNOWING THE AREA,THEY SHOULD INCLUDE MORE OF THE AREA ISLANDS. WITCH WOULD ELIMINATE THE SMALLER BOATS AND BE MORE OPEN TO THE WEATHER.BUT I FEEL THEY NEED SOME CHANGES. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE BAY WAS SO INDUSTRIAL AND UNATTRACTIVE
MAYBE A CARD POINT OUT AND AROUND THE POINT IN FRONT OF CEDARPOINT AND ANOTHER AT KELLYS ISLAND MARINA.I UNDERSTAND A RUN OUT TO PUT-IN-BAY WOULD BE TO HARD BUT MAYBE AN ORGANIZED TRIP FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO GO.MAYBE ANOTHER CARDPOINT COULD BE OUT AROUND CATAWBA ISLAND INTO PORT CLINTON AREA. A STOP FOR FUEL OR A REST BIT. BUT ANYWAY I WON'T BE ABLE TO ATTEND UNTIL I PURCHASE A LARGER CHECKMATE IF THEY CHOOSE TO EXPAND THE RUN AND REALLY USE THE WHOLE AREA.

I also hope that a 2nd annual Checkmate Poker Run is being planned, we had a blast. I felt that the run could have been a little longer, but in no way am I complaining. I understand why the route was chosen, to give all Checkmate owners the opportunity to participate in this event. I thought that the run was well laid out. Had the weather been a little nicer, perhaps the smaller boats would not have been “beaten up” so badly.
Maybe this year, two routes could be laid out. One route for the bigger boats and another route for the smaller boats. I’ve done Poker runs in the past where all the boats ended up at the same places, but the smaller boats took a different route, closer to the shoreline, where the traffic and waves weren’t as bad. I’m not sure if this is possible, seeing that I’m not from this area, but maybe it’s something that can be looked into.
One thing is for sure, we’re already looking forward to attending this event in 2006.
