Roll Call For Marathon
 

We're leaving NY the 12th. Today would'nt be soon enough. Anyone else???

:p :crazy:

Alittle early for the SBI race for me.

Yup leaving on the 12th.

Ron, any "OSO" gatherings going on that you know of? Stan.

Hope they have a better turn out.

I'll just be happy as a pig in Sh*t just to get out of here. Been out on disabilty with a bad back since Good Friday. Bouncing off these 4 walls are for the birds!

By reading the ABPA schedule I see that the racer party on Saturday night is at Cabot's resteraunt. I'd say that would be a good time and place to meet.

I will be there, bad back and all. Hey Ron, is there anything going on at Atlantic City this summer?

Will be there late Wednesday night with the Orlando gang. Hope to meet some of you.

Since all of us look the same, how will we know who's who?

Is anyone bring there boats???

Boat???????

Whats that????????

OH, that thing parked next to my house with all the weeds growing under it!!!!

Mine hasnt seen water(other than rain falling on it) in 6 months!!!!! Wont be ready for Marathon, but hoping for MEM. day????

Cabots it is!!!

I will be taking my boat as long as I can get the alternators replaced. Waiting on the parts...

Atlantic City - July 18-19

Hope to See You There!!

:cool:

Atlantic City, whats that have to do with Marathon?:D

Thanks Marc. Sombrero has a 3 night minimum. Unless I leave the wife with her family for a day or two. :)

I stayed there last year, not a bad place clean and cheap, I think there about 65.00 a night.

$75.00 this year, gonna give it a try, stayed at Coconut Cay last year, not bad, but they were still remodeling, supposedly done nice this year, I'll check out the cay while down there, and if its done, I'll stay there in June when I bring the whole famdamily.

Kingsail is not bad , very basic no thrills.

http://thefloridakeys.com/bluewaters/ This is a nice clean little place too.

I don't know about your guys, but I'll be wearing an Extreme Boats Magazine shirt.

Wear your OSO apparel to the parties.

I hear there is a parade does anyone know anything about this?

Ron, where and when will all the after race "festivities" be at?

Does anyone have a count on boats, stopped by Colabella's yesterday, heard there wasn't gonna be a good turnout.
