I just spoke with Harry and here's what we have so far:

1) Harry spoke with Skip/Neil and Cig is considering making their annual reunion a "roving" event each year, to be held in different parts of the country. This year it would be in Maryland at Md Offshore Performance.

2) A good date for the "gathering" is July 12th. The weather is warm, and there's a lot to do in the area.

3) We're looking at a 2-3 day event. A party Friday night in the Red Eyes area, a run somewhere Saturday, maybe overnight wherever we run to, and then back to Red Eyes/Kent Narrows on Sunday in time for their famous bikini contest.

4) There are motels, slips, and ramps in that area that we can reserve.

So, we have the help of a Cigarette dealer and the factory. Now what I need are firm committments from people that would be willing to attend. We'd like to get 40-50 boats to participate. Cig is willing to work with us to make this a first class event. I can't provide costs, but we all know what a couple of nights in a motel costs.

Sorry if the details are sketchy, but we wanted to gauge interest. We want to start keeping a list of who is "in" so please email me or PM me your contact information and boat type/yr etc.

Man, this thing is dying a slow death. I guess there's no interest...

Steve,
I'm interested big time!! I just don't have a Cig....Yet

Craig then you are not allowed to go!!!!

I would be interested in going down as well. I have on the books one trip down to VA for a poker run/hand out what ever. You guys got any good suggestions? It will have to be later in the summer so that I can get the boat finished.

Jon,
Maybe we can get Biggus to leave the Mainers at home and we can crew on his Boat

Jon, there are two I've been on that I would recommend. Information on ours is at
