Raleigh/durham end of summer / fall gathering

[jeremy0011]

Great meeting everyone Saturday, lets do it again next year.

My Mountaineers gave you guys a little scare almost..

Yeah, that's the way we roll! We play ugly all
the time but have been fortunate to pull them out.

Not pretty but gets the job done.

Thanks for the pics and video. Looks like you guys had a really nice time!

Anybody in the Raleigh area want to try and get this on the calendar again this summer?? Maybe a little earlier in the year than we did last year? @Julian @bronze_10 @Eric Ballard @justason @veedubtek @DieselCamel

Just trying to remember some of the people we met last year. I know there are several others from Raleigh/Durham on here as well.

 

[Eric Ballard]

Oh ya, lets get something on the calendar.

I would be willing to try to make it happen this year - was stuck going out of town last year.
Couple of caveats with me though - 1) I am on Falls 2) Not sure I am allowed as I swapped from my jet to a forward prop.

We did Falls last year and it seemed to work well. I'm down for Falls again this year too. As far as being "jetless", im sure we can let you slide this time.

Prop boats bring beer to share...... lol

Deal - Beer is on me.

And the prop boats have to anchor at the end of the raft up out of sight of the other boats passing on the lake!!. Lol! We will certainly try to go on whatever date is selected.. however my schedule has changed this year... i have every other weekend off. If the date falls on one of my working dates then we will have to pass this year.. start throwing some dates out there and we will see where they land.

 

[veedubtek]

I'd love to do it in July. (we close on our lakehouse 7/31, probably won't leave our lake much after that this year lol). Although I'm sure we would anyway.

 

[AndyD]

OK, I'll start with some dates...How's July 29th sound then? @bronze_10 if that doesn't work for you maybe we can push back a week to July 22nd? Is that too close to the Bimini trip for anybody that's going?

 

[Eric Ballard]

July 22nd or 29th look OK for me right now.

 

[bronze_10]

According to my event coordinator aka wife... the 22nd is good. I am working the ween end of the 29th.

 

[Julian]

July 29th weekend is Shelbyville event....no go for me!

 

[Eric Ballard]

22nd looks like the winner.

 

[Julian]

22nd looks like the winner.

That is the saturday after Bimini....I should be at least splashing the boat that weekend to make sure all the salt if off her....

 

[AndyD]

So if the 22nd sounds like the general consensus I'll start a new thread in the morning with details.

 

[bronze_10]

Sounds good..
