Addicted to Helicopters
I was told this would happen. 
I've reserved a helicopter for this run. After the results I got last weekend, and on our Turkey Run last fall, I've decided this is the only way to do it right.
The pilot tells me the last time he did this route, it took him 1.1 hrs. At $600/hr that's $660. So, if any of you are interested just post up here to let me know. We'll split the cost, determined by the number of boats who participate, although I will shoot everyone in the run.
Since this is the last official run of our season, I'll make a cd for everyone with all the shots of the day.
But wait, there's more...
Reduced print pricing will apply.
8x10 - 20.
11x14 - 30.
12x18 - 40.
16x20 - 50.

The Hamilton Harbor Dockmaster asked me to inform everyone that they just took a fresh delivery of 93 octane, non-ethanol fuel. They will offer a 5% discount to our members, 10% if you need more than 100 gallons.
Looks like a good weather day. I look forward to seeing everyone.
