I sent a post out last week about our fun run schedules from Holland. the bigger one is in August. our own version of smoke on the water. an actual poker run. first year last year, we had 26 local boats, 102 people and we raised $1500 after expenses for a local person in need. in 5 hrs!! $30 per person included your ride and dinner at Coral Gables in Saugatuck!!!

i'm a little nervouse opening this up to anyone. we had no insurance or anything, just local boat club from work, but we want it to grow at a manageable pace. I';ll post more later in the summer.

Also, don't forget about the APBA Great Lakes Silver Cup Series race coming back to Grand Haven!!! I have the contact for volunteering to be Race Patrol.

is your poker run during the week like your other runs?when is the GLSCS coming???

Rambunctious 06-11-2002 12:48 PM

all runs on Wednesday night. 6:15 pm start. Thurs rain day. Tomorrow is the next fun run, but I don't know if I can make this one. going to the Winston cup race this weekend and have to get the deck finished.

The GLSCS is Labor day weekend. Sat race. with Sunday saved in case of weather . good idea!! Race patrol boats will have to be available Sat and Sun in case it moves to Sunday.

fun run
 
Do u do the fun run every wed and if so where do u meet at ?

Rambunctious 06-12-2002 07:13 AM

do a search under the key word sea100, that is our boat club.
you will see two threads titled "Holland fun run pics". the second has the dates of our fun runs at the end of the string. In general, guys nights are once a month on Wed. TONIGHT is the June one. but I cannot make it.

we meet at the old point west, by Van Andel's docks, and leave from there at 6:15 to Coral Gables for Burgers. back by 9:30 or so.

let us know when anyone plans to participate. we like to wait for you, and also give a count to the restaurant.

Red Stripe 06-12-2002 07:27 AM

I made it to the SEA 100 poker run last year and it was a blast!! I'm sure the fun runs are a good time as well. If you are in the area and like running with a great group of people, be sure to attend!!

So what else is going on in West Michigan??
I think we should have a raft off outside of Heritage Landing some night of the Muskegon Summer Celebration. Anyone game for that? Heck, I'm not even sure who is playing what night there but that information isn't that hard to come by :D

Any other ideas??:D

I went and saw the Blue Angels in TC the year before last(I think) and it was awesome! Totally different show from the water. The old Bi-planes were sweet too. Those guys have big balls!

Waterfoul 06-17-2002 07:56 PM

I am leaning towards the Cherry Festival and the Blue Angels. My parents have a place on Glen Lake, so if I have to I can stay there and launch for the day.

Anyone interested in trying to get some slips in Suttons Bay or something??? Is it to late to get some slips there for that weekend???

Whitey 06-17-2002 08:28 PM

I will be there with wife and possible another friend and his boat and wife. I would be interested in a slip if it is still possible to get one. Later

You guys are electing to pass on rookie day in good ole Grand Haven. The Forth in GH is a blast, not to mention the maylay that happens on the water after the Fireworks are done. I look forward to that part. Getting my rig safely back to the wall. Though I think this year we may elect to stay in Hanky all day and make a last minute appearance for the fireworks. Our group is going out early Thursday and staying through Sunday afternoon. The new Midnight Rider has a little issue with noise so I don't think it would be a good idea just to keep cruising all day on a big weekend like that. :cool: Midnight

Waterfoul 06-18-2002 10:22 PM

Midnight, that mahem is why I will probably seek other adventures for the 4th. Been doing it for years (many years!!) and want to try something different. Not that I don't like Grand Haven, I love Grand Haven, but getting to other places is why I keep trailerboating. With your rig though, that's not as easy!!!
