Hey Rob, We did it 4 years in a row.Last year like 2015 the darn computer made things difficult. I was able to get the 99th spot. But decided not to keep it after watching for weeks to see if we got a slip. They did refund all but 100.00 dollars. More than fair.This is great for the Camp and the kids.it raises alot of money.But for the normal guy it will be harder and harder as years go. The big guns step up and buy the slips. I'm not complaining we had four great years,and wish the best for all.

This is such a great event - gets better every year.
Have been up a few times as a spectator - I'm planning on coming up again this year (solo) - do you need any volunteers to help out? I'd definitely be interested.

Its seams alot aboaut image and ego. If you whant to donate $ for chariiety champ quality axccepts doniations evary day of the year, send th'em a checx and leave some spotz open for new blud. Some peoepl prefer not to be in the company of humans who write checxs to get everything done. $ don't buy you respext
Then why would you want to go if you do not like the people at the event ???

Everybody is too quiet. BT is only two weeks away!
Am stoked about the opportunity to volunteer and help out with this great event - which, admittedly, will be much easier for me since the wife is not inclined to come along this year.
Have enjoyed our 3 previous trips as spectators in '08, '11 and '15 ... but really excited about a chance to pitch in and help a little. Like everyone says, anyone who has actually BEEN to this event knows how awesome it is - truly 1st class and the people / venues are absolutely wonderful.

We're coming up mid-week. I wasn't sure I'd get the time off work but managed it.
As usual, we're not going to run in it but always love the Friday night street show and seeing the boats. And, we're always happy to kick some extra $$$ into the local economy since Boyne seems to be a great host town!
