Philly /CD canal run 1 more time.
 

Anyone in the Philly area want to try to meet up this weekend weather permitting. I figure we can take a blast to the C/D canal. We can meet up around Penns landing Sat or Sun which ever is suppose ( suppose ) to be the nicer of the 2 days? Oct 12/13th anyone? anyone? anyone? :D :D

I could do it on Sunday. It looks like the better day weather wise.
The only problem I see is that I only have 23ft boat (including swim platform) and depending on Sunday traffic wouldn’t be able to run with bigger boats. I don’t have a problem running 45 to 60 mph for long runs. It all depends on conditions.

What types of speeds would you like to maintain?

I'm up for another run. I put in at the Neshaminy State park. I could go either day. Let me know!

Considering My boat only does 68 mph I would expect to run down at like 45-50 mph? I guess we can wait n see what the weather man calls for ? I 'm up for a run though, end of summer blast.


:D :D

Hey cap071,

What part of Philly do you live? I grow up in northeast Philly, Frankford & Cottman Avenue area. Saturday nights were spent cursing Roosevelt mall picking up girls. Before your time! Met a Jerseys girl, got married and moved to Hainesport NJ. Single again!

I spend a week this summer boating on the top of the Chesapeake Bay, Havre De Grace MD. There’s a sensation dealer down their Extreme offshore. Nice boats!!

45-55 mph sounds good!

How old are you ? I live around there. always did since 1971. went to Lincoln high school class or 89. I put in at frankford arsenal ramp just by Tacony bridge.

Father Judge High. “83” Still have friends and family in the area!
I lived on 4200 Block of Meridian Street. Mom still does!

Oh ok cool I knew a few people up that way but all my age my 1 buddy lived a few houses up behind dunphy ford I picked up many women up that mall :D :D

Hey Capo71,

Is the Linden ave ramp still open. Used that ramp along time ago with relatives that live up there. The Arsenal ramp is pretty steep if I remember. Linden ave was not as steep. Might be heading up there this month to run.

yes both are still open, but I think you have the 2 confused. The Linden ave ramp is too steep. I pull a loaded 28 sunsation with a 2wd pick up no problem at arsenal. I almost lost truck n trailer at linden ave.:D
