Re: Lake Champlain
 

Sorry we missed you GL, We headed home Sat morning, Seen you called after we got back in range. Should be up one more time to close up camp, but will be busy for the Labor day run. :(
It was great seeing everyone again. The weather was great except for one day. It was so great that I went threw over $1400,oo in gas in the 2 weeks. :D :drink:

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Weather looks incredible Thurs. and Fri. Planning to join JS and Marie Thurs. afternoon, spend Thurs. night on the lake, then catch the jets practicing over Burlington Bay Fri. Also planning to overnight Fri. and Sat.

If anyone is out Thurs. afternoon and/or Fri. call the cell. 518-569-6898.

Have a good one.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

When it's in my control, and i'm able to put off, procrastinate, line up other help, sacrifice, cancel appts., max out the credit card with fuel, tell couples getting married; good luck, I'll be thinking of you on your special day, and wish the lucky one's who are gifted with another birthday, "god bless your party hope you'll have many more"... Always.

The real, hot sun, swim for three hours straight, sleep confortably, gather and tie up with friends season is two months.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Had a nice time on the Lake watching the air show. Got a little wet and the show was not all it was supposed to be because of the rain.

The "hardcore" boat enthusiasts/owners made it out; GLH, JS, Charlie, Todd, Shane, Jamie, Chris, and I'm sure others I didn't see.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Wish we could have made it, however many issues including flight delays, held us up. Hope you guys had a great time. Post some pics if you got 'em.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

That sucks... Summers not over yet though, you may still hit 10 hours. :evilb: :D :evilb: :D :D

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Well, we all have issues we cannot control, however we have 10 hours more than others had last year. Not pointing any fingers :evilb: :D

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Actually, Mr. Heater, with all due respect, I would bet BIG money I put more hours on my rig last season than you have this year... :drink: :drink:

Re: Lake Champlain
 

On a serious note I figured the flight would be delayed with the air show... Glad to hear he made it home safe.

It really wouldn't have been a good day to have the baby and Michael on the boat anyhow.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

While waiting for the flight to arrive, we did get to see an F 15 and an older F 86 do manuevers over the airport. Pretty cool.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

I had a blast. It was to nice to see burlington bay packed with boats.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

We had a blast also Chris,your boat looked good in the rough.We went inside the breakwater early and lucked out finding a dockspace.Spent the day at Breakwaters.The show was awsome from there.I ran back with Todd later in the day.
You out this week at all?

Re: Lake Champlain
 

I can't believe you scored a slip at breakwaters Tom... I figured that place would have been reserved months in advance... I bet the view from there was sick??

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Neil it was rocking there.The Thunderbirds really were cool with there flybys.That was a first for my family,Michael had a blsat wathching the manuevers.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

We were swinging on the hook just off the entrance to the barge canal. It was an awesome show and we had the best seats in the house. I've got a couple photos if somebody wants to post 'em...

Frank :cool:

Re: Lake Champlain
 

I could post them for you but I won't be able to do it til after 5 today...damn work computer doesn't have any resizing programs and I can't install anything on it either.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Well I see everyone had a good time. We made it as far as deep bay and tried to beach for Greggs kids party but the waves were just pushing the boat inland and couldn't get the anchor to stick. we ended up at B.A.B. and came in before the rain hit. I took my nephew nad his friends for a couple rides at 75 MPh before heading in and all saw was grins from ear to ear. Maybe we'll see evertone this coming weekend.

Red :D :D :D

Re: Lake Champlain
 

We were having a good time until the Coast Guard made us move. Friends had a spot Friday night off from oakledge Park. We were told to move about 50 yards out from where we were around 9am. Moved appx 200 yrds out,5 boats,5 anchors. Safety boats were waving to us and talking to us all day.
Around 3pm Custom's boat came in and told us we had 10 mins to move our boats or he was going to ticket all of us. :mad: :mad: This is after we had been there for about 5-6 hrs and mutiple boats were on top of our anchor lines. They were being total TOOLS... We asked them to help us with moving some boats on top of our anchor lines,but would not. Good way to promote safety there C.G.
When we finally un-tied we could not get an anchor set with all the other boats on top of us.
Started raining and decided to get out.
Had a wonderful ride home in the pouring rain! Felt like hail balls hitting me in the face.

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Otherwise a pretty good Saturday? :D :D

Re: Lake Champlain
 

For the most part, yes.
Just had to get that off my chest. :D

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Your boat looked great too.

I should be around. Let me know if you plan on going out.

Re: Lake Champlain
