Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

I would also like to say how good of a Poker Run this was. Our boat had a blast, everything was excellent from start to finish. Great job Steve.

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

Fantastic Poker Run!!!

Whoah, more to come later, but a quick recap... I am healing nicely from my stiches after taking a splash off the dock before dinner. Nice gash in my shin, but I will survive it; merely a flesh wound. Thank you EVERYONE who helped me and my crew out, as well as my crew for taking care of everything, and everyone who asked about me.

And BobbyB... I wish I had some video. I have never seen a human being so intoxicated, and still able to stand upright. :D :D Holy crap.

Off to bed to recover. Would be nice if I could take a shower, damnet.

Please tell me that you got some pictures of that!! Another victim of the "Ice Pick" drink!!!!

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

This was definitely a great run! It was worth the long trip for sure. Thanks to Steve, James, and everyone involved in setting this event up...you did a great job.

Here are a few pics:

The first three are of the new Active Thunder docmanrich37 has. Had a great time hangin out with y'all...I will also email you all the photos I have of your boat.

Here are a couple of pics for dreamboater. I thought I had some pics of y'all running but they didn't come out for some reason. It was great talking to you and seeing the boat!

Wow I had such a blast. I am ready for next year. I wish the boat would have run better though. :(
And damm those ice picks tasted so good yesterday. :D :D

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

It's like I said at the banquet - it's the people that make the run fun. Thanks to everyone that attended. I'll post some pics as soon as I can find my camera.

We've already started planning next year. We came up with something special we've code-named "Operation Hyperactive". I'm sworn to secrecy - but it's gonna be a riot!

I hope to see some of you next weekend in Va Beach.

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

Looks like you guys had a blast. I crossed over the James River a few times this weekend. On a freaking bridge. Brian, I have to hear all about your gracefullness this weekend. Looking forward to meeting you and Bobby. Be safe driving!

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

Everyone on our boat had a blast!! Steve, you and your group put on a great run, it will be a hard one to top for next year. Thanks to Jordan Point Marina for the hospitality, it was a shame to see what Izzy did to them last year. We put our gift certificate to good use at the ship store, also to Smithfield Station, I didn't think they could get that many boats rafted up together.The RBPA did a outstanding job with planning and organizing. Every year this event has grown, and no doubt with the success of this one, next years will fill up in a hurry. Do Steve a favor, send your money in early!!

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

Thanks to everyone that was apart of the event and like Steve said earlier, next year will be even bigger and better, so when you get the registration in Feb. or March dont wait get it in that day, you wont want to miss this!!!!!
It was a pleasure getting to put some faces with screen names.

The dock pre-party got things going and then the WORX band rocked the place. I hope that everyone had a blast, from Friday night to Sunday.

Hope to see everyone next year, and maybe a few more.

Man that was FUN! After partying all night and passing out it was off for a 4am cruise back to Va Beach. The bay was like glass and the moon was in its full brightness. We'll see you all at the HRPA Little Creek Regatta this coming weekend!

To add one more note the video should be great, we had 4-6 footer in the bay area.

And at the dock party we gave away 800 pair of beads to the women, what a sight to be seen.

I can say the poke run was the best i have been on. The dock party was a blast and thanks to James for the beads which brought out the women.

This was an excellent Poker Run, hats off to the organizing committee of the RPBA.

Two nights of entertainment; first, a little one man show night before; great time.

Great run, perfect distance, and I actually did like the minimal stops idea. It worked well.

Lunch was great, although docking 80+ boats in there was a sight to see, yet remarkably organized. The shower at lunch was well timed to cool everyone off.

Missed the dock party, as we were at the hospital, but the ambulance ride was cool.

Then the banquet afterwards.... the band rocked the house; the food was awesome... shrimp kept coming out until you thought Bubba Gump was sitting next to you; prime rib until your heart was having an angina attack, and not sure what to say about the bacon wrapped scallops, but they were awesome.

The fact that the same guy won, two years in a row, Tucker, from Lake Anna, VA, well, that is just plain fishy. :D :D

Randy Nuzzo, excellent photography, and thanks for the ride back to the boat, albeit, getting bit by a dog asking for directions to the marina. Hope its nothing too serious.

Ride back west on Sunday was a really nice ride, albeit the rain storms. The paintball masks I picked up worked quite well to keep on trucking thru the rain.

My only complaint is the ramp at Jordan Point, and people who insisted on making it a double ramp. Its too crowded to try and do two boats at one time; coupled with the breeze, it was bear. My rubrail was less than 6 inches from the dock when I retrieved, and less than one foot away from the boat pulling out next to me, up a curved ramp. Just made more sense to me to be safer and go one at a time.

Steve Gresham thanks for the generator use on Friday night.
Mike & Dana Cole, thanks for the A/C use and breakfast, both much appreciated.

BillR and Aggressor 25, thanks for pulling me out of the water after my dip; and everyone who helped out after.

Clearcut3 and other OSO members, great to meet/see you.

We'll be back next year, and signing up earlier to get better dock space at the Radisson.

Looking for the photographer's website does anyone have it?

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

Best, Most Organized Poker Run I have ever done, Just sorry no one crossed the Bay with us, People on the Beach on the Eastern Shore were looking forward to seeing a parade of boats, maybe next year.

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

Eddie, I will cross next year; as long as the boat is 100%. I am disappointed I could not do it this year.

The pics from the chopper look great.

Re: "JAMMIN ON THE JAMES"
 

Those are some good pics!!
