This is going to be a great event and a fun time for anyone that joins us!

The Friday night party will be at Metro Park Marina where the boats are docked. Tie up and join us for Extreme Wings cookout , full bar available .

Why are we not doing the Hyatt? They are open in full effect with plenty of bars and walking distance to The Landing

And the best bagels on earth for hang overs, I can call and set us up a group rate if you guys want

good time for all freeze frame will fly the event jeff

There is NO place to park a truck near the Hyatt, but the main reason is they owed the charity a couple of thousand dollars last year and refused to pay them. I do not do business with people that cheat or lie.

Bill sr.

That's too bad, definitely a great central place, but I'm with you on those issues. Time to terrorize a new hotel.

They are certainly in for a "different" crowd than they are used too when we all get there. LOL :hitfan:

Einstein bagel closed

Boomer35 would not be aware Einstein closed He passed out in his boat at Metro park Friday night.

What a light weight. Too bad I did not find him and put his azz in the wheelbarrow and dump him in front of the Hyatt.

hahaha agree with you bro

At least boomer passed out in his boat. I've seen him passed out in far worse places ����

I have an Einstein 2 miles from my house. Put an order together and I'll bring it down and it'll be there Friday morning!

It's nice to see these not for profit runs gaining traction, I wish I could attend as this looks like a great event!

The last post for this is almost a month old- is the event a definite go? I'm thinking of joining the Friday night party and Saturday Palatka run. Can someone provide details on how to reserve a slip for Friday night in Jax? Is the discount at the Lexington Hotel in place?
Thanks-

The block of rooms got sold out so we will be adding more tomorrow(wed).

Thanks Jay! Great shots for sure.

Do you have the pic from about 2007 maybe? Had the same angle but the Black Sunsation was in foregound with the 51'OL and about a million more boats behind?

I think this is the one you are talking about, but as far as I know, there was no black Sunsation until 2014 or 15.

That's the one. That 43 Sunny tied to the OL is mostly black with some green. Hot foot is an understatement walking across. :pray:

cool shots !
