Any idea how many boats/people?

Yeah, what he said. Still have room? Isn't there is a very long no wake zone down the middle channel for anything over 30'? As well as a huge piece of sunken steel/boat just south of browns by the red buoy? When you go to Metro, do you plan on stopping with everyone or just idling by, turn around and go back out? Sounds like fun and I can't imagine how much time you have into this. Let me know if there is still room. Will know by Wednesday night if I can make it.

Hello NKissau,

Yes, there is still room...

Regarding the Metro Beach...just idling by, turning around and going back out...

We are looking forward to your RSVP at [email protected]

Emergency Schedule Changes...2009 Motor City Fun Run
 

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION...2009 Motor City Fun Run Changes....

Ahoy there everyone,

There have been some minor scheduling changes....

SO PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND TELL ALL YOUR ATTENDING FRIENDS!!!!!...

Unfortunately, Harbor Hill Marina and the Roostertail have pulled their support of the 2009 Motor City fun Run...

It was unplanned and unforeseen...we were blindsided at the last minute (yesterday)...But that's O.K....

In the spirit of "All Hands on Deck"...Jack's has really stepped up to the plate and offered their waterfront restaurant as the base camp for our event...

We will now meet at Jack's, rather than harbor hill...

The continental breakfast/driver's meeting will start at 9:00am at Jack's

We will fire up and leave Jack's at 10:30am and run the lake...returning at 12:00 for the Old School Reunion II and boat show...

The rest of the course ans schedule will remain relatively the same with two minor changes...We will run the North Channel, rather than the Middle Channel, due to "No Wake" concerns and we are gonna do the Windsor Yacht club Idle-By earlier and close the run at Jack's...Rather than Harbor Hill...

Jack's has even gone one step further and offered us overnight seawall accommodations, w/shower and security at no charge for both Fri. & Sat. nights...Which is incredible!!!

Note: There is no shore power, which, again is O.K....because, you don't have it at Gull Island, Muscamoot Bay, Strawberry Island or Crystal Bay either???

In addition, we are scheduled to have an 8:00pm meet and greet on Fri. 6/19/09...with free finger food provided, and free seawall dockage...

Note: Heavy Storms are predicted on Fri. w/a 70% chance of precipitation....So, the Fri. event may be canceled, but call the restaurant or Jim Fisher at 313-957-1991 for an update before arriving...

Note: we are selling the pix for $30 a piece, just to cover the cost of airtime and to tip the pilot and photographer)...again, "All hands on Deck"...

Note: Again, this is our 1st fun run of the season, but, not the last...And, though the weather may not cooperate and others would like to see us fall on our faces...we refuse to fall/fail... and have tried to cover all the bases. (EX. all the free food at Jack's actually cost us several hundred dollars)...

As previously stated, we are very excited and are looking forward to seeing everyone and making new boating friends!!!!!

We will call each of you personally to notify you of theses last min. changes...

Sincerely,

Friends of the 2009 Motor City Fun Run :angry-smiley-038: :party-smiley-020: :boat:
