Spent some time at the "Stock Pot" yesterday. This is a water bar/resturant in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to see if they would be interested in hosting a power boat "Cruize"...
It would make a good starting point for the August event.

What do you guy's think about a multi-port event.

Portsmouth, NH to Newburyport, Mass to Annisquam River to the floating bar off of Beverly, Mass then return?

Each place could be a checkpoint. The first one to each checkpoint gets to have bragging rights as the other boats arrive after him/her.

It would be like having many races...I mean "Cruizes"...

That would be a very scenic route too.

Each leg would be like 35-40 minutes...

Hello Charlie, yes we have confirmed that we are in fact Banana's...

One of my best friends flies a Black Hawk helicopter out of New Hampshire and said he would be happy to take photos of the August event, only problem is they slapped a red cross on the side of his huey and shipped him to Iraq. He is currently vacationing in Baghdad...

Other friend with a small airplane said he could do it...

Hey air,put a 24 chopper or a 4blade throphy tripps

Anybody planning on being at the Cape Cod gathering in June?

Well I guess I have failed as an event planner.

So far nobody wants to have a Banana Boat gathering...

I have signed on to be a patrol boat for the June 11th, 12th races on Cape Cod.

I still plan on going up the Charles River for the 4th of July.

Maybe I was too over zealous. Maybe nobody's boat is really ready to go until like late July anyway? Maybe there are not enough Banana Boats? Maybe nobody likes me...

I think I will focus on one event instead of trying to be "Julie McCoy the cruize director"...

I like the idea of a poker run style, multi port event in August, somewhere in Massachusetts.

We should be ready by late June. Would love to go to the cape but with driving to FL the weekend before I won't even have the boat on the new trailer untill that weekend. Then it gets a new cockpit cover fitted on the 15th. So a later date would be better for us. Next year we will be there though.
