What did I miss Rip? Don't get it (the last post?)

5PM...The run was GREAT!! couldn't push the throttles far enough forward. Flat day on the water except for the traffic in front of me. We went to Kingston (Canada for those who want to know) had lunch, then out on Lake Ontario around Simeco Island and back into the river at Tibets point to Cape Vincent. The Lake was flat, and there was nothing like it to see 20-3- boats fanned out and heading back into the river. From Cape Vincent, we headed to Clayton, then back into the Canadian channel and back to Alex Bay. A great day for most of the 59 boats that entered. 8 or 9 broke and we had a bad poker hand, but the smile is still on my face today!!

Wished you all could have made it! I'll post some pix when I find my camera!

Somebody will. It's going to be mid 80's and sunny all week on the River. I sure am diggin' this 3 nights on - 3 weeks off rotation I've got going for the summer. I'm heading down Tues. A.M. for several days, now that the "tourists" have gone home. Enjoy your work week!!!


When you figure out how to post pics that don't look like chit resized...let the rest of us in on it.

UPDATE: It would appear that "the little guy" has bought a boat! (See gen disc; I've got 200K to spend). Time to determine a pecking order for the 7th. As much as "5 inch" should be last , I think the distant cousin-ship of the Donzi to the Formula may move him up a notch (two notches if he'll wear a 'Bird). If RaggedEdge shows up in a black shirt and gold chains ... (where's the puking smiley when you need it?), I'll need therapy (uhhh...more therapy). Let's stick together Formula brothers and sisters...it appears more than one "other brand" is infiltrating the ranks of the 1st Annual 1000 Islands Formula Rondezvous!

Whatever it is, keep it out of slip 27. Had a nice 33zx come into Harbor Fest from Morristown Sat. Said he stopped by the boathouse to see if any Formula guys wanted to go, but they were all afraid. Speaking of which, I didn't see Third there either. Is the little guys ride onsite?

I was there, I don't miss Harbor Fest for anything, especially a few waves. We had quite a few boats go over from the pond at about 6:00 pm. Cruised the river and Wright's. Only three boats went back to the pond after the show, and they were all Formulas. All the non-formula babies stayed there because the waves were just too scary for them. Went back Sunday for the air show, that was pretty cool.

My tentative plans are to trail up to A-Bay on Friday, the 6th. Stay over on the boat at the village dock, maybe hit the town a bit Friday night, grab a little breakfast at the little diner by the dock. Have the boat all wiped down and ready for when you guys get there.

We still planning a departure time of ten-ish?

I like how the little guys boat appears to float above the water. Is 27 equipped that way? Third, Ten ' ish is relative to Axa and friends, all depends on how low the hoppers get the night before. Me and mine can usually get in 18 holes at the TI club by the time they're ready to untie the ropes.
