Delaware River 9/22

Replacing 2-3 props might end up being cheaper.

I was the first to the sand bar.... .. Got the tips of 2 of the 3 blades and there is a slight deflection in the prop shaft. Sh*t happens The main reason why not there was the back was spent after the water conditions. Damn high wind... .

I'd like to say thanks for everyone coming out to hang! We still had fun and got to meet some of you goofy liberty mates! Hey John, you never did get you some of the Hudy.... We know you wanted some of that up in your bow just like a Titanic recreation

 

[knarloid]

YF - sorry to hear about the damage. Was great to meet you (although very briefly - seems I had to get back to goofing around ).

In your honour, here's a thread dedicated to your crews visit.

Hope to you all back to NJ again sometime.

I feel bad I didn't get to hang with you and Dave. The three of us goof around so much here and on FB I really wanted to have a few beverages and talk some smack. Me doing my best Titanic impression while sipping a Hudy would have been a classic pic. I already told Dave, we have to plan a place somewhere in the middle (maybe somewhere in PA) for us to get together for a boating weekend for next summer.

kalugs22 and I were just there picking up the 95 pulsare sorry we were not there as well to meet everyone but had it worked out we may not have known about the 30 gallons of Mountain Dew in his gas tank and tried to run it through the EFI merc. Anyway we would gladly like to meet up some where midway in Pa.

I would be in for meeting up in PA somewhere as well. Someone a little more local know of a good spot?

I do know at one point next year me and wifey want to get a weekend at the bare minimum up at raystown lake

 

[atc250r]

Raystown came to mind for me too. I know they do a Scream and Fly thing there every September (it actually was just last weekend) but a few days out there with the whole family would be great.

I was thinking the same thing, but that still leaves them with a 7+ hr drive. That being said, I would love to a long weekend at Raystown in 3+/- weeks

 

[atc250r]

Can't do it this year but don't let that stop you all. Almost 6 hours from here.

 

[RNGRDVE]

You guys can always make the trip down to Cumberland in July.

 

[atc250r]

14 hours is too far unless there's a free Checkmate in it for me.

The only chance of that happening in my household is if Disneyland is at the end of the journey.


Didn't think so.

 

[atc250r]

I've been getting the Disney pressure too. We should try to all go at the same time. If Jess gets back to a real job soon maybe next fall? Either way my very good friend's wife is an agent for Disney vacations if you want an inside hook up.

It wasn't free but pretty close. The fuel and lodging definitely added on to the cost.
If you guys are doing Disney look into the land and sea package. We did it and loved it.

It's only 4 hours for us...we could show up with a few boats...

Were Cheasapeake guys, not lake hoppers.
