Can I sign up as late as the morning of the event?

What are the details of the run? stops etc.

We would love to have notice so we can make sure we have enough food and drinks for everyone, but we wont turn down anyone the day of the event either.

Details..........Run starts at the Tappahannock bridge and we run apprx. 10-12 miles down river to a water stop to p/u a prize, from there we run back up river past the bridge to a water stop near Naylors and p/u a goody bag. Then we run apprx. 10-12 miles up river to a beach for an afternoon of fun. Food and non alcoholic beverages are served, D.J, Moon bounce and activities for kids, Horseshoe and cornhole tournament. We will have $10 poker hands for our grand prize, 50/50 raffle amd tshirts for sale. All proceeds benefit the "ASK" pediatric oncology clinic at MCV.

We'll probably have 1 boat and 2-4 people.

Good to hear Brian!!

I'm in I'll give you count this week

Sounds great Potomac Fever

looks like Jason and I are coming, anyone want to meet in Port Royal and head dowm. lots of KG, Fredericksburg, and Southern Marylanders should check out this part of this river.
Come on guys it will be something different.......:drink:

What marina are you putting your boats in at? Where are you meeting in PR. and what time in the A.M. Not sure I can make it. Taking the boat to Fountain next week to have exhaust modifed. Maybe it will be done in time.

I have this marked on the calender. If we can make it it will be 2-3. Sounds like fun.

Were coming if beak goes

Chuckels, if you come, let us know if we need body guards for you there. I'm sure your fans would love some autographs too!! So let us know if we need to set up a table. Maybe sell some DCB shirts and bobbleheads.:lolhit::eek:

So, is this a no drinking kid friendly Run or...? I had a sitter lined up for the 6th for other reasons:party-smiley-004:. but apparently someone races lawnmowers:angry-smiley-038:.
I'll go if Chuckels goes:drink:

Its a combination of both..... kids are on the run, we do have kids activites. We also like to enjoy ourselves! :evilb:Safely of course. Its a typical day on the river....you cruise alittle bit, you hang out on the beach. Have some lunch, have some drinks and listen to the dj

They dont allow porpoise in the Rappahanock river, might damage their eco system with all that flopping around.:evilb::evilb:

The Sunny's back....this might be a good run for us...

We would love to have you ThunderStruck. Its a good time

Randy, It is my understanding that Jason is putting in at a private Ramp that will more than likely be able to accomodate you as well.. because you guys have big boats. I was going to meet Jason at Hornes In Port Royal and put my little boat in at June Parker Marina at Tappahannock. Chuckels your fans await you.. while you sign autographs and shake hands I'll drink your beer:drink:
Should be fun hope to see you all there

Did Jimmy change anything?

I'll go if I can get an autograph and a picture w/da man!:evilb:

that would be great , gas card would help to

u should take that show on the road , ur killin me

what time r u guys leaving , could i use that ramp also , how far from the start is it ?

its in the mail ,u get ur gremlins figured out ?

u better get some practice for the 13th , wouldnt want to get passed by any Active thunders , u would have to change ur screen name if that happens

What would be a good screen name if that happened......I know....Active ThunderStruck 553

Jason has the details I call him today or get him to respond. The ramp is not far from the start and I think it starts at 11 so I was going to get there at 1015 or so

No question! I'm not too concerned....I think I've got everything figured out and the 13th should be a very good time! :grinser010::grinser010:

Yeah. He pulled the carb off and took it to his shop and called me this morning. First thing he asked was "who worked on this thing...?" He said it didn't have a new carb kit on it and that the jets were completely out of wak. Also said the linkage wasn't where it was supposed to be but that the carb was the reason I wasn't able to spin more than 4300-4400 RPM. He said he'll be able to have it spinning 5200 with no problem. We're river testing in the AM. :evilb:

Glad he got it straightened out for you. Guess you will know for sure when you water test it.:drink:

Captains meeting is @ 10. Run starts @ 11.

Me TOO, geez... I would say 'he's' getting old, but its still funny. :evilb:

Im sure you will have no problem rowing past me now.:lolhit: I'll see you out there.:drink:

Doubtful. Not the way you spanked HIM/me on the Pax fun run!! I need more than a carb adjustment to pass you!!!

1 Week to go !! You can see pictures from last years event at www.facebook.com/rrbaonline or www.rrbapictures.shutterfly.com

I' ll be there before 10 I guess see you all there

so whos going , u gotta boat count yet ?

Boat count is in the low 30's right now. We will probably be alittle over 35 boats. The Run has come together nicely. We have some nice door prizes to give away and we will be selling poker hands for a chance to win a GoPro camera. Total length of run is about 40 miles. As far as whos going......we have center consoles, pontoon boats, and power boats from low 20' to 42'.

Count me in for the run. I'll have Sdwayz, his girlfriend and myself for a total of three. See you on Saturday AM.
