Who's going?

I'm going. A few other boats are coming up with me. We will be at Harvey's after the races on Saturday night.

Any Cincy boys coming down?

Dean

Sorry, I meant Heather's. I forgot the name changed from Harvey's to Heather's on the river...

Dean

Dean, the picket line for the spectator fleet is going to be at the foot of Towhead Island.The up river turn is going to be below the Kennedy bridge .No provisions for boaters.I don't think they want Boaters at their Boat Race.
There is a boat burning at Admiral's Anchor,should be fun if you can get in there.
I guess I will be at Heather's or CQ's

I'm not sure what is on the agenda for us this weekend. If it's raining we will probably stay and work on the boat. If not we will more than likely be testing and tuning......

Doug - Thanks for the info. We will probably ride down and see if we can see anything. If not, I guess we will just race each other.... What time is the deal at Admiral's Anchor? I'll see you at Heather's if not before.

Byron - I think you should come down to Louisville to test and tune. Bring some Cincy Boys with you.

Dean

That's were we will be this weekend! All 21 of us. Hide your teenage daughters!

when is the boat burning and can you see the races from the water? THANKS

The boat burning itself starts at dark Sat.

US 1,

Where is the boat burning going to take place? Can we get to it by boat?

Dean

Excuse me for being the dumb one here but, What the hell is a boat burning? :confused:

The guy who loses the race gets his boat burned! Keeps the insurance companies happy! :crazy:


Actually, it is a big party on the river. They burn an old dilapidated boat for entertainment. (I guess I better not let them see mine!) :eek:

Dean, you will be able to raft up in the 6
Mile Island shoot,Chuck plans to take his Formula I may go along call me on my cell and we'll raft off.The Marina will be closed for the boat burning.If you get there early enough Buckheads ,Kingfish or on the bank in Ind. would be a good place to watch the race(river closes 10am).You can also watch the race from Waterfront Park .Hope it doesn't rain. US1 and the rest of you guys see you there!

The burning is on a grass lot near the ramp in Admirals Anchor. You will not be able to see the actual boat from water, maybe the flames. Last year and previous yrs, a group of people built boats to burn. This year I hear is supposed to be an actual boat. The marina is all booked up. You can still come by car though. We bought our tickets a couple months ago.

Last yrs boat, a mock paddle boat........

And on fire.......
