I don't think any boat was the right boat to be out there today. The wind gusts were definately the 40+mph that they called for. After seeing one of the wind gusts lift ya, that was when I realized we were done. We had no business being out there. We should've trailered to LL. We were soaked head to tow. At one point I thought we were running through waterfalls.
On a different note, it will make for good story telling over the winter.

Listen here Mr. IAlreadyWinterizedMyMotors, they're called test runs. When ya make modifications and then pick up 3 MPH, all ya need is a little ride. Ya get there that much quicker! :evilb:

Oh yeah that was the other ride from HELL! Today was very close to that day, just alot wetter! :mad:

So, ya think you'll make any runs next year other than the NYC Poker Run. Bro, you're missing out on alot of good times.

Re: New York Brunch Run

Sounds like those that were there had a good time.

Wish we were there. :(

Re: New York Brunch Run

Lot's of excitement today, but still managed to have a great time at the brunch run, it's always one of the best runs of the year.

Re: New York Brunch Run

it was a very exhilarating run , we made it back to newburgh safe. we had a great time and wet one to but thats boating. it was nice to meet u all and cant wait till next years run . the wind gust where horrendous all the way home and the water was roughhhhhh in some spots calm in others. all in all it was a great day.

Re: New York Brunch Run

I hope you guys found your way home OK Scott as the repairs to Tommys fuel system took much longer than anticipated and we propbably did not leave the marina till 4:30 or so at dead low tide.

Why wouldn't I? You might as well have too. No fun boating alone and I knew you would all pu$$y out once the autumn winds hit the Jersey Shore. :evilb:
