Re: Labor Day weekend raft-up this Saturday!

We're planning on being there. Might have to light a fire under the Admiral, as it's hard to get her moving before noon on the weekends.

Could someone share the coordinates with me for sand island or my show me a dot on a map? I may be able to shoot up there saturday but I'm not sure where it is. I'll be coming from Baltimore. Thanks

See post #1550 in this thread for the location of Sand Island.

If anyone is coming to the pigless pig roast, make sure you bring a dish of some sort! There will be a keg of beer, and other stuff provided.

I'll be sure to bring a dish, a fork, a knife and a cup.



Oh, you mean I should bring food to share...

We can't make it on Saturday we're going to Veterans Hospital in Elsmere Delaeare for a car show for the veterans So can you guy';;s post some picture's of the event. I'm hoping Sunday and Moday are better then the Weather people are saying so we can get out in the water then. May go to Hacks point or above. I like to go up to the river on the left when the tide is right. beautifull secenery there. Lot's of wild life.

Seems when I zig, you guys zag. I am heading down to North Wildwood this weekend, and not sure if I am hauling the Scarab down there. Launching down there is a headache. South Jersey ramps all suck.

I went in and asked the wife what we were going to be taking and got hit with "you mean it's THIS weekend? I thought we were going to go to the Renaissance fair for daughter #2's birthday present." Arggggggg! Guess where I'll be... :facepalm:

Heh, I know what you mean Bill! And sure, anytime.
Unfortunately I'm going to miss this one. Got some flood repairs to do at home.
THANKS Irene.

Maybe, just maybe I can make it down Sunday PM or Monday AM to put the boat back together.
OTOH maybe not- Katia might be around next weekend.
Just like a woman to %#@* things up.
Fot those who make it to Sand Island, have a great time. I'll be thinking about you.

Bill, you're welcome to hang out on our boat. Alternately, I can toss the two 17-year-old boys I'll be bringing towards your boat and see if that distracts the girls. The boys may not like it though.

Re: Labor Day weekend raft-up this Saturday!

Sorry to hear some of your guys aren't going to make it. We'll be at SI around 11 tomorrow. We'll be out Sunday, and Monday might be out on someone's shakedown cruise, but on the water, nonetheless.

Re: Labor Day weekend raft-up this Saturday!

It was great to meet some of the Upper Chesapeake group today. We left a few of you with surprise pretzels; there was n way I was taking all of them home. I hope we can make it down again in a couple of weeks while the weather is still decent.

Here's a couple of pictures from today.

Re: Labor Day weekend raft-up this Saturday!

Had a couple of great days on the bay. Five hours of dragging kids around burns up a lot of gas. Still cheaper (and alot more fun for me) than dave and busters. Met some more iboaters and starting to put faces with the names. Is anybody going to Charlestown on Saturday 9/10? We did the carnival last year and it was OK, this year we may just go for a cruise and hang out for the fireworks. This will be the first fireworks this year from the boat, and the first night time boating.

Nice seeing you! We might be able to make it for the fireworks. We went night time boating last night, from the Nauti-Goose to Lapidum, 3 miles north of Havre de Grace. Kept the boat on plane at 18mph the whole way!

Re: Labor Day weekend raft-up this Saturday!

e took the pontoon boat out Sunday .First we went to Cabin John Cove then to Hacks point, up both side creeks to shallow water and then back to Crystal beach area to do some fishing. If the wearther holds out maybe we'll do it again next Sunday too. I'm going to get some fish heads Friday morning and do some crabbing in the mouth of the Sasafras River .Most people use chicken necks but Fish heads are way better if you don't mind the bait looking at you.

Scott,

Are you going to pull your boat? There's an incredible amount of water upstream headed your way, and you know they are going to be opening every gate in the dam very soon. Over here on the Elk, the walkways on our slips were underwater last night.

My boat is safe next to my garage.
Kyle(Bowman) lost his sailboat today, it drug it's mooring then let go after debris built up behind it
I watched them evac the nursing home in HDG. Mandatory evac of Port Deposit. They are saying it will be comparable to Agnes in 72'...I don't even think Texas people want this.

This is just the beginning, the say it may come up another 4' or more

First time I've seen walk ramps go UP to get to the water at this launch ramp,
