This will be a first time for myself but on my dads 38ft sailboat... how close can we get to the raft off with it? I think he said his draft is like 7ft...

Jackdonz you can't get close with a sailboat with a 7 ft draft. The deepest part of the moot is maybe 5 ft. Better leave the sailboat at home and take the Donzi! I will be leaving at 11am myself from Belle Maer on my 32 Sunsation with a full boat, if anyone wants to follow me and tie up outside the line just let me know!! I am meeting up with others friends from LEOPA to tie up with and have a good time!!

Night
What time are you guys heading over in the am? Do you know if any docks are left at the Marina? Were throwing around the idea of trailering up from Cleveland area.
Thnx

whoya i think there are still slips left at metro i didnt have any issues when i got mine the other day not sure on the time but if you want to meet up in Toledo friday afternoon we could run up together

Still up in the air as of now. GF trying to get Fri. off. What time are you looking at heading up? How many boats getting together Fri.? Everybody rafting off together Sat.? What time do you guys go over Sat.?

i think there is going to be around 10 or 12 boats in our group we will all tie off together i would like to leave my house around 12 which would put me in toledo around 1 not sure what time we leave from Metro was thinking it was around 9 ish last year cant remember i was just a passenger ill PM you my number

The problem with the donzi is that its a open bow... I wouldn't be able to stay the weekend or even one night... I hate not having a cuddy! Would it be even worth coming out for just the day?

saturday is the actual raftoff friday night and sunday is just our little group getting together there are motels about 10 minutes away from Metro Marina

Yes. Definitely worth coming for one day, but if you plan on drinking a bunch, loading up and trailering home wouldn't be so cool. It's something to see if you never been.

I just booked my slip the other day with no problems. Marina was not full at all last year. We are hoping to leave around 1 on friday that would hopefully get us there before 5 with getting fuel and everything. I know that John said he wants to leave early like 8 saturday to get in line, we left latter last year but I don't think that was the plan.

It's a great time if your looking for something to do. Not as crazy as Jobbie. Friday night and saturday after we get back from the moot we just chill at the dock with some tents and a firepit. Sunday we will probably run down to the Detroit river for the heck of it, maybe goto one of the eateries to get some chow.

Come hang out.
