Philly fun run this weekend.......
 

Who's going? This was last year's poker run and was a great time. This time it's cooler(sept.), weather looks good for sat. 76 degrees and partly sunny!:)

We'll be there:D Formula 303sr1

Toolman :cool:

I was just looking for this thread...

We're in, but will probably just meet up with the fleet at the East end of the C&D canal on the way down. We'll run back up with everyone and spend Saturday night in Philly.

Not in the run but I'll probably be at the Chesapeake Inn to check out the action. What time are you arriving at the Inn?

Chuck did you see your article in the Nor'easter? Once a celeb always a celeb!!!;)

John,

Haven't seen that issue yet - I was out of town at the Mark Donohue Tribute at Watkins Glen. Come to think of it - I haven't even seen the Powerboat article yet.....:rolleyes:

Big Mark Donohue fan. Friends with Dave his son. I'll save you a version of the Nor'easter in case you miss it!;)

R Addiction,

The schedule is to leave Philly around 12 noon so I assume we'll be in Chesapeake City around 1pm. Hope to meet up with some of you guys then.

Dave P, How many boats are in this run?

Toolman

Thanks Toolman! hopefully see you there!

Straight from DaveP this morning:
 

The weather for this weekend's fun run on the Delaware has been moving like the stock market! Right now it looks like rain on Friday and about 80 degrees and sunny on Saturday!

As for boats - right now I would estimate we have about 12-15 boats. Even though it is a fun run - the great folks from MONOC will be joining us anyway to enjoy a day of fun in the sun! (yes Chuck Sprague - the Robin the boy wonder will be coming!)

PLEASE REMEMBER - the USCG will be looking for us on the water. Please be courteous and obey all rules of the road.

The gameplan for Saturday:
When: Saturday September 13th
Where: Delaware River
Time: 12 Noon Departure Off of Dave & Busters Marina
Lunch Stop: Chesapeake Inn, Chesapeake City, MD
Dinner: Chart House Philadelphia

Thoughts on the day:
1) NO REGISTRATION FEE - This is a fun run / not a poker run
2) Everyone will be on their own for lunch & dinner (split the bills at the tables)
3) Tentatively meet on the Delaware off of Dave & Busters around 1130am
4) Depart around 12 Noon
5) Arrive at Chesapeake Inn around 1pm
6) Have lunch on the deck (split the bills at the tables)
7) Run back to Philadelphia around 4pm
8) Meet at the Chart House @ 8pm for dinner (split the bills at the tables)

For the sake of trying to keep track of who may attend, please email us @ [email protected] and advise us if you plan on attending lunch or dinner so we can give the restaurants a "heads up" on a head and boat count

UGH!

As the weather turns........

Saturday (24 hours): Cloudy, periods of rain. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 60s.

Ok - who has connection with the big man upstairs?

I will not be able to make because i tuliped a valve last week and the motor is half apart. But my friend shawn has a 388 sling shot called "hustling" wanted the info he will be there. Thank you for finding the thread C-srpay

Latest is rain all day low to mid 70's chance of high 70's


Any reason why Philly is always last run and so late in the season?

Last year the run was Aug. 3rd.

The reason we moved it to Sept was because is was stifiling HOT last year and it also conflicted with another event in MD last year.

As well as rain for saturday I also heard windy:(

I guess we will have to make a judgement call in the A.M.


The weather for the next 5 days BLOWS!

Hey Dave P,

Can we call a rain date for sunday if saturday is a total washout? Same times and places? Use this thread for constant updates?

Just an idea.

Toolman :rolleyes:

The latest weather as of 9:50am

Today Sep 12 Showers 74°/64° 60 %
Sat Sep 13 Scattered T-Storms 75°/69° 70 %

I'm making some calls around the horn right now.

Unfortunately, it looks like we are pulling the plug on this weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday look like they will be a washout.

It was nice to have summer for the 6 weeks that it was here.

The Philly run should be in the middle of summer. I would think most people would rather do it in heat and sunshine rather then 70 degrees plus wind from the boat making it a cold ride no matter rain or not unless we get a burts of sunshine later this month

Looking out the window (and at the forecast for the next few days...), it looks like a good call, Dave.

Yechh. :(

I just drove by Dave N Buster's while it was pouring cats n dogs
