No problem, any time!

I wonder how big those breakers were? They sure looked like they were a decent size from where we were and they were still a 1/2 mile away.

I hear the bay was pretty rough,,, some people had to turn around and come back home.. :eek: Looks like it was "another" short ride. :D

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

myself, mike and lucididee called it quits and 1/3 of the way out from the Atlantic Highlands. you didnt only have white caps, we had actual breakers that could have been surfed. i've been boating for a very long time at it may not have been the worst water i've been in but it was damn close. solid 4-6's everyone had white water and a 30 outboard cat was definately not the right boat. today was big v day...as i attempted to crest the waves mother nature was literally lifting my bow and placing it where ever she wanted. better luck next time.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Believe it or not, It gets like that a lot up here. Not only do you have a lot of chop but we get a lot of different currents depending on what the tide and wind is doing.

AskLucididee and Mike how our ride home from the boat show in Liberty landing was a few years ago. That year the wind was blowing hard out of the northeast instead of the northwest, and there was also a pretty sizable swell coming in from the ocean. By the time we got back to the dock my boat was pretty busted up and it blew the radio out of the cabnet. We hit so hard on one wave I sprained my wrist. I was running drives tucked all the way in, tabs all the way down, plus the motors were getting swamped and kept breaking up. Those were the days in the 30 ft'er. :eek:

I was going to meet you guys back at the ramp on the way back in, maybe next year will be better and I wont have any friggin christenings to go to! :eek: :drink:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Kenny attended the run.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

"Whitecaps" everywhere! The pic doesn't do it justice but it was bad out today for sure. Yesterday, the swells were huge but not many whitecaps in the Ocean. Today, was probably one the worst sea conditions of the season in that area. The only good thing about today was visibility. :D Glad everyone made it back safely.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Dude, I still have your Mag Lite in my truck! :rolleyes:

Where can I drop it off?

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Panther,

I'll be at Navesink Marina this week/weekend, you can leave it at the front desk (John or Ed) and I'll pick it up. Thanks.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

So how many boats were there?

Anyone get any pictures? Since Lucididee didn't make it, I have no pics to look at! :eek:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

It was another great BRUNCH RUN.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Joe, I hear I'm the phantom brother... :rolleyes:

Missed ya in the NYC poker run.. :drink:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

I don't think any boat was the right boat to be out there today. The wind gusts were definately the 40+mph that they called for. After seeing one of the wind gusts lift ya, that was when I realized we were done. We had no business being out there. We should've trailered to LL. We were soaked head to tow. At one point I thought we were running through waterfalls.
On a different note, it will make for good story telling over the winter.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Listen here Mr. IAlreadyWinterizedMyMotors, they're called test runs. When ya make modifications and then pick up 3 MPH, all ya need is a little ride. Ya get there that much quicker! :evilb:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Oh yeah that was the other ride from HELL! Today was very close to that day, just alot wetter! :mad:

So, ya think you'll make any runs next year other than the NYC Poker Run. Bro, you're missing out on alot of good times.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Sounds like those that were there had a good time.

Wish we were there. :(

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

If I can get the drive issues sqaured away.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Some NY Brunch Run Photos now up on my website: www.SharkeyMarine.com

Thanks Billy! :drink:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Lot's of excitement today, but still managed to have a great time at the brunch run, it's always one of the best runs of the year.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

it was a very exhilarating run , we made it back to newburgh safe. we had a great time and wet one to but thats boating. it was nice to meet u all and cant wait till next years run . the wind gust where horrendous all the way home and the water was roughhhhhh in some spots calm in others. all in all it was a great day.

scott

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

I hope you guys found your way home OK Scott as the repairs to Tommys fuel system took much longer than anticipated and we propbably did not leave the marina till 4:30 or so at dead low tide.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Why wouldn't I? You might as well have too. No fun boating alone and I knew you would all pu$$y out once the autumn winds hit the Jersey Shore. :evilb:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Call me what ya want to. Don't care. It's only the beginning.........picked up 3 MPH this weekend! :D How much slower do ya think you're gonna go next summer when you put a cabin in yor boat? You're son's gonna be pissed being the slowest boat our there!

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Oh boy, pissin match. :eek:

I got nothin to say cause I just have a slow bravo eatin resin bucket. :drink:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Nope nope nope, no pissin match here. Just a fact or 2.

Easy there sparky! I have not thrown the 1st stone, but he who instigates could get a stone thrown back at them! :D

We can all place nicely on the river! :p

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

With you guys I'll be the only boat out there :evilb:

It's not how fast you go, it just that you go, not turn and run home with the boat on the trailer. So when you moving to the lake so you can run that thing :rolleyes:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

I hear LOTO has openings! :eek: :evilb:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Well, looks like we're just gonna have to have the show down when we have the Dippel Run next July. No excuses allowed!!!!!!!!!!!! Tentative date looks like July 8th, 2006! BE THERE!

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Sure, a run in the Bay and River......oh boy I'm so excited :rolleyes:

Think you guys can make it that far or you going to tow the boat to NY and meet us up there? You may need to run more than 3 minutes :D

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Hmmmmmmmm turned around cause the ocean was rough.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Oh please, you would have tried Harikari out there if you were with us. Ya know I luv ya, but let's not go there Mary!

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

hey Ken...you know better then that. there is a difference between rough so rough that its no fun

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

i seem to remember a certain day a certain individual damn near begged a certain someone (Tsunami) to turn around as we were heading out the AC inlet and i can honestly say it was worse sunday....hmmmmmmmmmm who could that have been. :argue:

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Ocean, they didn't even make it out of the bay :eek:

Sandy Hook and Raritan Bay can get mighty nasty, but never enough to keep a 30+' boat at home. Just need to remember the fastest way between 2 points is not always a straight line.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

May want to rub some of this on the boat next time you go out, might run a little longer. I saw Panther rubbing it all over the drives on Saturday morning :D

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

I didn't see you out there on Sunday did I?

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

i dont believe so...

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

Yeah, it must have worked cause the drives stayed together.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

alls i can say is when you have a 37 outerlimits a couple hundred yards away from ya that disappears between swells, i have no business being out there in a 30 outboard cat...IMOP

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

We had no business being out there. I wish I had half a brain and just suggested to trailer to LL. I knew it was going to be snotty, but I wasn't expecting it as bad as it was. Lession learned for next year. Just glad we were all safe and nothing broke.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

We were "playing hide between the swells". But I do believe you were playing "Rocket Man." Boat looked upright a few times. Glad you made it.

Re: New York Brunch Run
 

The agony of defeat. :rolleyes:
