Mark Do you have room on that floating condo for two more

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

WTF? :mad:
We were thinking about coming up from Chesapeake Bay, but may reconsider... I can see "no boats" along the shore lines (narrow), but what about at either end? Security concerns about the bridges? What are they going to do about the normal river traffic - send 'em home?

Maybe there IS a way....Need any sweep boats? :D

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Where is the friday night party and who is invited? :drink:

Re: Nj Races 10/10

Chuck answer your cell phone

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

C- Spray, send me a PM with your email address and I'll find you a spot on the course.

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

From what I've been told. The river will be closed to ALL river traffic between the bridges from 10:30am to 4PM. That should make some people real happy. Patrol boats will also need to make sure no one comes out of the marinas on the philly side.

This should be fun. Course goes from RCA Pier in Camden to USS United States, 4.5 miles around.

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

I think I'll pass on this one...Sorry Bob!

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Ron P. They did a quick story about the race last night on the local 6 o'clock news. think I was watching channel 6

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Quick as in 20 seconds. I caught it too.

Actually there has been a lot of press starting yesterday and will continue through the weekend. If it's anything like the turnout they got for the hydos 15 years ago, the place will be a zoo.

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Yea it's been a media blitz since yesterday :drink:

Just hope R Addiction doesn't show up to ruin it :chimp:

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Kevin, I have you down as working the middle of the backstretch on Sunday. I don't have you down for Sat so I'll just see you at 6pm in the Ward room on the Battleship. Then onto the party after wards.

Don't forget the party tomorrow night. I'll send out an email to everyone later tonight.

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

RAddiction - We're headed up by boat Saturday morning around 9:00 or so. We have a slip for the night at the Piers Marina, and are waitlisted at Philly Marine Center. You coming by boat or car?

Re: Nj Races 10/10

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Look me up at the CBPBA party wagon in the dry pits all weekend-cooler is stocked :drink:

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

CAP, By car it would be around 50 minutes to an hour. By boat around 2 hours maybe. It's been a while since I came up by boat. I have to work on saturday til 4pm :mad: What is everyone doing in case I can break free?

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Besides having our way with Hi-Perf's sisters :D

I think there is going to be a party saturday night on the Battleship and on a few boats docked up down there. Saturday is test n tune day so I'll be Floating around out on the river watching with my hooptie boat :D

Re: Nj Races 10/10

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Chuck,
I am coming in Sunday morning. I'll have your 1000 Islands Chart in the truck for you... ;)

Re: Nj Races 10/10
 

Can't wait to see everyone. Should be a blast. I was there Wed with the Jersey Boys and hosted Terry Ruggle from NBC News 10 on my boat to capture shots of Wazzup and Papa Dukes. For all you sweep boats, you definitely have a very important and big job ahead of you. Lots of debris in the water. I mean huge logs and what not.
