If everyone is up to it lets plan for Seneca Lake June 26th and 27th The SPBA will have a Fun run @ the Showboat Motel that weekend and provide dinner for its members Saturday night the 26th. Membership is $40.00. We can opt out and pay for our own dinner, or go somewhere else for dinner. The fun run is Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26h. But with work schedules maybe we would want to get to the lake early Saturday the 26th and stay over enjoy some time Sunday the 27th and head out Sunday afternoon. depends on if everyone wants to stay over Friday and Saturday or just Saturday.
If we are all in I recommend reserving a room for Friday and Saturday or just Saturday. But should all get together Saturday by noon for sure.
Here are some links The Showboat is where we will plan to spend Saturday night for dinner and a band.
The rainbow is right next door but we need to be respectful of kids and family's, the showboat is where all the boaters and partying will be....

South end of the lake. 15 miles South of Showboat
The Glen Harbor Hotel is very nice but 15 miles down the lake, and no partying, except the local bars in Watkins Glen within walking distance. If you reserve here make sure to ask for a slip or call The Village Marina for a slip (right in front of the hotel). The Anchor inn would have some slips and is on the lake they also have a tiki style open bar on the lake, but about 12 miles down the lake.

Let me know where everyone would want to stay, if we want to try to stay together of fend for ourselves Saturday night. If we want to try to stay at the same place I doubt we will be able to get enough places at the Showboat, but would want to try now. Or we can sleep in our boats... if we cant get a place close ie Rainbow or Showboat sleeping on the boats maybe a safer bet. But I would escort anyone down the lake if they wanted to, to one of the hotels the south end would be my preference (then I would just go home for the night) If I escort to the North end I would get a room. If we sleep on the boats I do have a shower at the Marina for the following morning.
Im trying to think of everything, we can plan more as the questions come in.

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll come in late Friday or early Saturday. Not sure if it will be a family (wife&daughter) or guys trip for me yet. Hey Don is there any hotels near your marina? I just assume stay close to where we put in.

I am on the South end of the lake, if you want to hotel by boat then the Glen Harbor Hotel is the place, or a few miles from the marina is the Anchor Inn with slips. There are many places if you want to drive (by car or walk) that are a mile or so from the marina. Anywhere in Watkins Glen (witch is on the south end of Seneca Lake).
My Marina is Glen Harbor Marina is on the South end its www.glenharbormarina.com.

So if we stay at the Glen Harbor Hotel we would just leave our boats at your marina?

Sh*t.... 14 days before i turn 21

You could pull your boat out if you wanted to at my marina, but late Saturday after leaving the Showboat I don't think you will want to pull your boat out and walk .5 miles to the hotel. I would think a slip in front of the hotel would be the ticket. But if you want you could pull your boat at my place. I have a security gate around the marina we could leave the boats and trucks there if you wanted.
The best bet is to get a room at the showboat and not have to run the lake @ 2 am or so, or sleep on the boat at the showboat, no driving..... But like I said I always make the ride back to the marina, and would escort you there and help you pull out, anything you need. I would have a few spaces on the gas dock if you wanted to sleep there overnight, and might have a slip or two available. Its hard to tell right now, what will be available but for sure 3 spots @ the gas dock. The only thing is the gas dock needs to be available for business by 10 am the following day.

To be young..... I would trade the beer for your age, lol... When i was young the drinking age was 18... I found ways at 16 to buy, there was no proofing then, no one seemed to care. A much different world today

Awh that sucks....we'll sneak you a couple

Don, if we can get slips at the Showboat that would be cool. Do you think there will be enough? How far in advance do we need to reserve them?

The slips are first come first serve that day, but they have a lot of mooring we could raft together and they come out and get you with a pontoon. I would reserve the room ASAP.. they book way in advance of this event.

Haha Jay....I'll be 21 12 days earlier!! If you need someone to help you run that yellow thing you know where to call!

All you Kryptonite guys should come to CT on the 24th of July for the NPBA poker run. This is a new event and will provide great water for your boats to run in!
