Don,

Thanks I am very optimistic(knock on wood) We should be fine. Its just that I was a Boy scout and like to be prepared for any eventuality. I will say that no other sport that I have been involved with has ever tested my patience level like high performance boating. But boat or no boat I will see you Saturday.

John

Thanks guys.

John, you and Johnny are always welcome to jump on with me. I am light on crew for this run. I will be on the Island Thurs. evening. Give me a call.

Wow John. How do they say it, If not for bad luck, you'd have none at all. Hope you get everything put back together in time. I also was a Boyscout, but I've about decided there's no way to be completely prepared when it comes to boating. Since we'll be in Key West, if you feel the need to drive a Baja, mine's sitting lonely at Moss Marine if you want to shake the cobwebs off her! See you soon.

Thank you all for the generous offers. I hope I will not need to take you up on them. I took the boat over to Rogers today and I am taking off a bit early tommorrow to do the work. I will post up with the results as soon as we have them.

Bob, I am starting to think I might be related to Gino or something

Tom, Thanks for the offer of your boat but if I were you I would not let me get within 100' of it with the Karma I have been carrying

Tom, Thank you as well. Did you figure out where you are putting in yet and if you need dock space on Friday?

Nate, I think that you and I should maybe get a boat together. two guys withe bad luck should combine to make one boat with good luck . BTW I somehow have just received a message on my phone that sounds like was left a few days ago. I will try to return it in the AM

See you all soon
John

Hey John,
I feel for you, and completely understand what you have been through for the last few months. Mine is still not ready. Fix one thing, and another problem pops up.
It will be ready for the Turkey Run, but not for this one.
See you all soon,
Terry

Man ya gotta love this group... John's boat goes iffy and he gets THREE ride offers AND A BOAT OFFER.

I'm thinking we should have a 'Get Jay A Boat' Charity Run.
