Ill talk to Jim from King Sting, the 170 mph Skater...maybe hed be interested?

looks like watkin glen harbor is out of the question....

So where's everyone staying??


ps: dont know what that romantic getaway thing is about..............................

I hear the rainbow cove, and Showboat are booked but you can try they are in Himrod, NY.
What was wrong with the harbor hotel? I couldn't tell from the thumbnail you attached....
The Ramada in Geneva is on the lake just 25 miles north.
Also off the lake, The Villager in Watkins Glen.
You can sleep in your boats at my place. I have bathroom and showers. Just an option for the adventurous. I doubt I will have any slips but 2-3 boats can stay on the gas dock, and everyone else can pull out at my place and sleep on land. You can bring tents if you want also.

It's booked out. Notice the X's on the weekend of the 26th. I wouldnt mind sleeping on the boat but I know my pops wouldn't go for that. I'll figure something out. Thanks Doc!

My old man might be coming with me as well. I know he's not down for sleeping on the boat. Let me know where you decide to stay.

... Try the Villager Motel in Watkins, its within walking distance maybe 1/4 mile from my marina. I would let you stay at my house but I may be hosting the band. That is going to be out of control I am sure...
Check these out. I knew the local places would sell out. Let me know if you can get anything. If not I will see if I can call in some favors....

Some updates, joining the club for the BBQ (I think its $40 for the year), slip options, you need to call now if you want a chance at a slip. Otherwise you will be sharing mooring buoys, bring the fenders....
This is from the Pres of SPBA:

DonRoc is the man. Super nice gesture about the Saturday band. I have to say after talking with the management from Showboat I'm surprised how their attitude about the weekend has done a 180. They even said they would pick up the entertainment for Friday night!! And the kitchen open until 12:00!!!....Holy Chit!! They have elected a young lady by the name of Stacey to manage the Kitchen/Bar operations Just as a heads up I asked John about room availability. So far the Showboat and the Rainbow Cove are still booked. Neither venue has had any cancellations. John did have concerns regarding docking. He has decided to let our club manage the dock spaces on behalf of the Showboat. In return he will donate a portion of the proceeds to the SPBA for our efforts. The slips will be renting for $100 for the weekend. The number to call is 607-535-2671. Ask for Bob. So in summary here is where we stand:
1) the SPBA is having a BBQ dinner on Sat. for club members. If your a member you eat free.
2) Showboat will have entertainment on Friday.
3) Glen Harbor Marina a.k.a DonRoc is very generously picking up the tab for the entertainment on Saturday.
4) Rumor has it VP may donate a Extreme Cooler to Raffle off. This guy just lives to have a great time.
5) When we get hungry for food at 11:00 pm...Showboat will be open. Big difference from last years 8:00 pm closure..........with a couple hundred people milling around the dock.
6) Showboat and Rainbow are booked. The owners of both venues have a sneaking suspision a majority of their reservations were placed by people who enjoy the Finger Lakes & boating. Something about boating on Seneca in late June.
7) After the summer we had in Upstate NY last year, everybody I've spoken with is ready to unwind and have a great time.

I am booking the band tomorrow. I offered to pay for the band, and wanted to make sure I got someone great. Check these guys out http://www.myspace.com/springerrock
Should be a rockin night.
O and I picked out my slip.... Looks like I may sleep over on the boat. If you guys need a room let me know now... I may be able to do something but no guarantees.....

I found 3 rooms at a marina about 10 miles south of The Showboat, with docks on the lake.... Let me know soon.
Also could I get a head count of who is still planning on coming? And when they plan to show up.
I am planning on leaving the marina between 10 and 11am Saturday making it 40 miles up the lake for lunch at the Crows nest, then 25 miles to the Showboat where we will chill out, its been said we might get to watch some displays of testosterone out front, never know some of us might going the fun. The band should get there around 4pm I need to be there to greet them. The SPBA is having a BBQ between 3-6pm we might want to eat there. You can eat for free if you are a member, I am. I want to see if the non members can eat some BBQ for a fee.
Sunday I would like to relax on the lake, we can go next door to the Rainbow cove for breakfast, then head 15 miles to Dresden creek (a warn water outlet for swimming). After that whatever you all want, its a 25 mile ride back to my place.
Suggestions are welcome.
