Chuck I think I saw you in Lake George with your new Specter in mid May, I was there with the Cig to hook up with Shane and Otis.
Congrats on the new rig Beautifull!!

Re: Lake Champlain Aug 2nd Milk Run Update
 

Morning GLH! Is that lake BIG enough to accomodate that many boats?:p ;) Have a great vacation buddy.:)

Shane,
There is more than that anyday but I don't think they make as much noise!!!!
And there is PLENTY of space, heck we actually have shoreline without 75 cottages per mile here!!!:D

:D :D :D You crack me up my Canadian buddy. Have a GREAT VACATION!:D Hey, BTW, Otis's brother who is also a Firefighter was severly burned in a fire last week in Albany trying to rescue two children who ended up dying after their father who was mad at the kids mother set the house on fire.:( :mad: We had a pretty big fire a week ago as well.

Re: Re: Re: Lake Champlain Aug 2nd Milk Run Update
 

Nice pond, where does the LAKE begin?:p ;)

Man, There actually is ONE in every crowd!
Read the saying in your signature Shane!!!:D:D:D

I hope Bob's brother fairs out OK tell him I hope all goes well, met him in May, Nice guy.

GLH,

Better count us out this time, but maybe next year! I scheduled my vacation for that week and I can't bring the little one (3 months old now) on any fun runs this year.

Have a good time everyone and stay safe!

Toolman

are we meeting up on sat morning or fri night its a 5 hour tow for me so I need to know if I should just get up at 4am which is not something I want to do, now if I leave fri afternoon I could be up in time for dinner somewheres?

Most likely a bunch of us are going to the Naked Turtle in Plattsburgh NY on the lake Friday night. I's about a 12 Miles run from the Colchester Ramp. Brian if you put in in NY state in Wilsborogh Bay or something (the ramp location is on the other tread) your run up to the Turtle would be about the same.
A bunch of us will Likely sleep in our rigs at Thayer Beach friday night.

Can you hear me now? I have Verizon.
Good

YAHOOO!!! will be at the cottage by Sat noonish 7/26 and staying till 8/9. Plan on meeting a few people friday 8/1,

4/Kevin/20' ChrisCraft w/351/MA, and
2/masi242/Formula 242/MA

Kevin is launching up nere me, and Masi242(Mark) should be launching in Mallets early Friday morn. Suppose to meet him at thayer beach.
Maybe we can have an early meeting then, or up at the cottage by JS232 and myself??? Theres a real nice shallow beach area up by us in Maquam Bay.

Hi, I have been watching this thread for quite sometime. It looks like it is getting to be a big deal. I think that there are a lot of other people here in the Burlington area that have heard of this, and are planing to join you, for at least parts of your run. There are quite a few of us that are not on offshoreonly, or are like me mostly an offshoreonly reader. Looks like it will be a blast. I have one concern and that is the Burlington harbor, they don’t like noise, and I think that I would only go in if you need gas, and the rest could wait outside the breakwater. (Just my thought). It is an impressive list of boats you have. Any one care to share some top speeds? The number of boats could grow a lot.

Scarab 105,
I know Shane's Skater hits 105 with my fat a$$ on it!!!
Is this you Jim??

GLH
My name is Ed
I am from the islands

I do not have blue charts for the lake , will i need them

Nice to meet you Ed.
Sounds like your running a nice & fast rig. I was asking Jim cause Jim Handy here in Burlington also has a Scarad 33 AVS he keeps in Burlington Boat basin.
Where do you hang around on the lake?
I don't remember seeing or hearing for that matter a Scarab with 850HP's!!!!
We hang at Thayer & Deep Bay usually with mandatory Naked Turtle food stops.

I do not have blue charts for the lake , will i need them, and are we partying friday night

H,
More than likely we will be a the Naked Turtle Friday night in Plattsburgh starting around 5 or 6 PM.
We have charts and know the Lake but I always like to have charts wherever I am running! They have them at any marina on the Lake.

Unfortunatly it is not looking good for me right now :( The boat needs a TON of work still and business is keeping me away from it. I hoped to have it in glass by the end of this weekend but that is not looking good right now.

Jon

Jon,
Then invest your time wisely and help Biggus fix his Gun and come with him. How is he doing with that?

At Burlington they don't like noise :

I think the cops will only go after guys with Cigarette's brand... So the rest of us should be just fine... Also, I think all Burlington grand-mas will have there tea cup shacking on the table with 40 boats crossing the break-water. Maybe they will call the army. I wish that damn alert wont go back to the orange code ;-)

A full tank will get me thru the day and back to Missisquoi bay. I dought anyone would need gas that early into the trip. It's just going to pretty much be a drive by to say the least with 40+ thru transom exhaust boats:D:D. We won't even have to go into the breakwater to make an impression:hothead: :hothead: Stealth mode is just a rocker switch away for me:p

Gl,
Sorry we did'nt get together on the 3rd.My cell phone died .I found Mallets bay to look for you (I thought thats where you lauched from).We endend heading up to to Burton island around 5:00.Did you go to the fireworks?We had A great time up there.
Dave

No Problems Dave,
I made it back from Boston later we were not on the lake before 7 PM, we did make it to the fireworks all right. Sorry also we didn't hook up but there will be other chances.

Last day before vacations... I am going for tree weeks hanging around Burlington, Mallet's, Burton and Plattsburg. Maybe a trip to Willsboro. GL, see you this week-end, Claude, you got my cell number, buzz me when you arrive in the area, I will be happy to offer you your first beer at Maquam (I can't wait to see that water catching fire). For the others, if you come in the area, here is my cell phone : 514-944-0635. I would be happy to meet a few of you before the August run. Man, I am so disappointed : 3 weeks of boating ;-). This the only advantage to be an employed ;-)

3 WEEKS!!! cool.... Looks like I'll be up for your last week. The first day is a busy set up day, but I usually get out by 2:00 ish..
I like my beer very cold. :D:D,
