Destin.....
 

So who do we have that is a going to destin? I know Barb and I are. H20 and tbikini did you determine if you an make it?:D

See you all in a few weeks.

Still workin' out the details.

The countdown begins... 15 days until Thunder Run III :D
 

Glad to take a break from reading the thunderstruck or blunderstruck thread.... geesh....

Here is the list:

Bob and I and Corey - in our 37 AVH which has never porpoised!!
Dan and Barb 37 AVH
Jeff and Sandy (and friends) 37 AVH
Steve and Laura - 32 Thunder from Michigan
Keith and Audrey - 45 Sonic from New York
Alan and Shanna - 34 Powerquest

Plus a few other local boats will probably join for parts of the run...

Also, Bob and I attended a meeting of the Pensacola Performance boat club and handed out the flyers for the run so I expect a few of them to come join in the fun for at least one of the days...

Should be a great time!

For those of you up north the weather has been in the 70s here
We were out Sunday afternoon.. it was beautiful!!! Supposed to be close to 80 by next Thursday!!!

Forgot to add Kevin and Judy... WE HOPE!!!

Hey Kevin & Judy, I have to formalize the reservations at least 14 days before checkin... which means by tomorrow... so I need to know if you are coming so I know how to switch the reservations around... right now we have 2 - 3 bedroom houses but we will probably need to change it somewhat.. just need to know what you guys are doing!!!
Please let us know ASAP! Sure hope you can work it out to be here!
Thanks!
Shari

Destin in PB
 

One more thing in case you missed it...

Destin was ranked in the top 20 for best places for power boats in this issue of PowerBoat... :cool:

If you run the right speeds, you may even see a "Porpoise" or two!:D :D :D :D

Good one:D

Countdown = 13 days
 

Everything is set. Slips are reserved and houses are finalized. We ended up changing to 2 - 2 bedroom houses because some people decided not to stay the entire time and some people got their own place. And some people are staying on their boats.

Also, in case anyone has any questions about the run or the plans in the next week please call Bob's cell phone. I think everyone has his number. We will be in Michigan for the next several days because my grandma died yesterday. :(

Thanks.

sorry to hear about your loss...:(

Anyone hear from Pat or if H20 and tbikini are going to attend?:(

Shari (and Bob)....Sorry to hear about your grandma....will keep you in our prayers for safe travel.

Looks like we will be attending the run....without kiddos:D Don't you just hate it when Grandma keeps insisting on keeping them for you:cool: I am buying my ticket to VPS tonight, so someone will have to come get me at the airport around 2:30 I think it is. I am flying in on Thursday, and Kevin should arrive with the boat from Ft. Lauderdale sometime that evening. We are going to be staying on the boat, so we will let everyone know what that is like. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Make sure to bring sunglasses.....my skin is so white I will be blinding you all:p
Nothing like a Tbikini and white skin:p

So sorry to hear about your grandma, our prayers and thoughts go out to you, see you both in a few days , Jeff and Sandy

great to hear tbikini and h20. See you then. I am sure that we can arrange to pick you up. We will be in around 11:30 I think so we will need a ride also. But after then I am sure I can borrow someone's truck and come get you.

yea, then you can drive a real truck:rolleyes: :p :D

yeah, yeah......:p ;) :D

1 week to go.....

Can hardly wait! Dropping kids at Grandma's on Tuesday or Wednesday and hopping on the plane Thursday out of Indianapolis. My flight arrives at VPS at 2:08. This might sound forward, but will someone pick me up:p

Thanks;)

Tbikini (too lazy to sign on myself)

when is kevin going down to pick up the boat? How long of a ride is it from Pompano to Destin?

Oh, Jeff and I should be there already and we can come and get you... Right Jeff

Dan, I am heading down next Tuesday. I should arrive at AT around noon. I am planning on leaving Pampano with the boat between 6:30-7:00 AM and hope to arrive in Destin around 4:00 in the afternoon.

Well I can see right now I am going to have to avoid this forum for a week or risk acute depresion.

Tbikini, I checked on airfare with delta just on the off chance I could get away and delta wanted $580 from Indy to VPS. I guess it didn't matter I couldn't get away anyway.

Everybody have fun and keep your eyes open for a porpoise.:D

boatfreak.....try Northwest:D

Hey this is Corey...... If anyone wants someone else to drive when they are here I will be glad to :D See you all in a couple of days! :)

3 Days!!!
 

As you can see we are back.... guess we need to get Corey his own login! :)

I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers on the passing of my grandmother. We had a safe trip to Michigan and back.

I would also like to ask for your prayers for Bob's mom who is currently in the hospital.

On to the run!

Tbikini, I sent you guys an email this morning but we will be sure to have someone there to pick you up. Let us know if your plans change at all during the day (we all know how those airlines work!)

Jeff and Sandy, let me know if you want me to pick Dan and Barb up... the airport is on base here and I should be leaving work about that time anyway so I will be right there.... then you could just go meet Bob and get the boat launched... ???

We are looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple days!

:D

Anyone check out the weather for thurs-sun. I heard some rumblings of nasty weather. I hope not....

Have a great time everyone and be safe :)
