I know my neighbor Ray(Xray50) booked his, and I will book mine as soon as I get home from our run this weekend, so long as the boat is still in 1 piece

Hello Rus and thank you for posting your invitation to this event that is worthy of our support. I have been meaning to get back to to and in the interim have circulated your invitation to FMO's 120 person mail list, most of whom are boaters. I am pleased to see that some already have indicated their intention to attend and I will let you know if I can make it once I sort a few things out.
Again, thank you and all the best.

Good Deal! Sounds like a fun event. Is there one stop that we drop off all the toys or are there multiple places? Amanda wants to start shopping soon for a bunch of toys. She also wants to buy three big stuffed animals and strap them in the back seat of the Motion and run the event (its the closest we will ever get to having kids in the boat) LOL.

One stop, and it is right next door to the lunch stop. We leave the dock in Palatka, run 20ish miles to the toy drop, then idle next door for lunch. Stay at lunch as long as you want, then go play on the river, either as a group, or on your own, real laid back run. Last year the group was small due to some unforeseen circumstances, and it was a free for all for the Saturday night events, but Rus says we will have an organized party this year. We will be heading up Friday with the Pantera, and the 26 American Offshore, and plan on making a run on Friday also. This will be my first year with the Pantera(something always comes up right before christmas, its either the trailer or the motor, and why I am not modifying anything until after the toy run this year), Ray usually brings a few garbage bags filled with toys, but the Qty. is up to you, 1 or 100.
