Thank you, Cignificant! RPBA Poker Run
 

Steve,
This was our first poker run out of our local area. Just wanted to thank you for showing us a great time. Bill and I enjoyed this weekend so much. We met so many great people. Looking forward to seeing some of the same faces in two weeks for the Hampton run. I hope to post some pictures later this week.

Thank you for coming and taking my wife back to Richmond!! It was nice being able to unwind a little on Sunday.

I'll post a few pictures. The first three are of the 40' Baja that our primary sponsor - Baja/Sea Ray of Richmond - provided..

Chippokes on the way back Sunday. This is the last decent photo I took. If anyone has any others I'd like to get copies.

You are welcome. We enjoyed Suzie's company on the way back. I hope the picture I took of her comes out.

Until next time....

Ditto on the great job and fun weekend. Craig223 good seein' again buddy and I hope your trip home went well. Bill & Patti I don't know what was more fun, Friday night or Saturday...:D Ed with "Spine Tingler" (32 Dominator) great meeting you and I want a boat just like yours....;)

I had some great photo's from Friday night, Saturday morning at the ramp, the run, and some of the dock social after the run. But alas :( I left my white cloth bag with the camera in it on the table at dinner and didn't realize it until the next morning. I'm more pissed I lost the pictures than my old digital camera. Other than that look forward to next year's....

I'll see a few of you for the Little Creek Regatta/Chesapeake Bay Poker Run on the 1st & 2nd.....

Great job Steve!!! We had a most excellent time. I can't figure out how I burned 15 more gallons of gas during the run than coming back up river.:D :D It must have been the current:rolleyes: The ride home was cool and it was good seeing everyone at Chippokes. Were those Ghost ships cool or what. That was a weird feeling going by all of them. Rick, keep in touch.

Craig


ps- I took some pictures on Sunday that I will post tommorrow.

Steve ,

You'll did a wonderful job again this year with the poker run. We had a great time . This poker run is always our favorite . Stress free , and just enough time on the boat then plenty of time to party and have fun afterwards.
The band that played at the party was excellent .

Thanks again,

Thanks, I'm glad everyone had a good time. We've had several comments about folks liking the inside banquet more than outside. I'd like to hear everyone's ideas on this, or anything else you'd like to see changed (or kept the same).

Steve,

Ditto. We had a great time as well. We'll talk to Randy Nuzzo this week and see about getting some of the pictures he took of the boat from the helicopter.

I was impressed the James River had a lot less trash, sticks and logs floating in it than the Potomac.

Thanks for putting on yet another classy organized event.

PS. Craig...I think you burned less gas going home because you had a lot less beer to haul back.:D See you on the river.

You gotta love the poker run. How much better does it get, especially when the weather is great....:D

Thanks for the pics Bill, and we'll see ya down here next weekend for our poker run.....

Rick

All I know is after a trip to Baltimore in Jim's BT and a trip back to Richmond in Bill's, Suzi is boat shopping. I should have let her ride in a jon boat or something.

Randy (the photographer) brought all of his pictures by my house last night. All I can say is titty, titty, titty....
