What a great event organized by Chris, his wife and Rob. Thanks for welcoming us to your group. Weather could have been warmer but it is what it is. For anyone thinking about coming next year, don’t hesitate. I have been in the sportboat game for over 30 years and this group and run was one of the best. Nice meeting everyone and hope to see you next year.

. To my extended family. I cant thank you enough for making myself , Debbie , and the rest of the NY crew feel so at home. Chris, what can I say, I ;love you brother. And it was so nice to finally meet you beautiful wife Wendy, Thank you for all you help as well (and for putting up with my little brother Chris). Robert, after all the years of hearing Chris talk about you, I was starting to think that you didn't exist . And as always , great seeing all my boat buds I never get to see. I can speak from experience, these runs don't always go as planned. But I can tell anyone that reads this post, this venue is amazing. The ramp is outstanding, The marina is gorgeous, and I mean ridiculous. The Chesapeake is an incredible body of water(that I want to see more of). And the restaurant that we had lunch at Saturday was perfect. As so was Saturday nights dinner at the marina. All I can say is, anyone that hesitated and didn't join us this year , you don't know what you missed. Just like every run, they get better every year. Guys, this one is going to be off the charts. Once again, thank you Chris,Wendy, Robert and anyone else that may have helped out to put this great weekend together. I look forward to seeing everyone in the fall for the Hudson Run.

Not sure I can add much to the above. This weekend was a great way to start the season and I'm looking forward to going back next year. I definitely see this event growing over time. That marina was one of the nicest I've ever been to and the restaurant for lunch - Wow! Great food, great views and 93 octane all at the dock!
Most of all, it was the people. Thanks again to my MD friends, old and new. Great to meet you all and I look forward to seeing in in July in the Thousand Islands.
Now, as a freshwater boater, if I can only learn to plan around tides, it would be perfect. Got stuck waiting for the tide to come in at Sandy Point for 2 hours yesterday. Good thing we had beer in the cooler and a pizza delivery place 2 miles away!

Jonathon, Matt, Charlie, Tom and everyone that attended,
Thanks for the kind words. Myself, Wendy and Robert are all very flattered by the kind words. We worked very hard to make sure we had everything right for this years run. Having all of you travel such a long way to spend the weekend with us meant the world to us. Of course we will work even harder for next years event. In the coming days there will be plenty of photos and videos posted. If you have photos and videos please post them or send to me and I will get them out to everyone. Thank you all for attending. see everyone soon. 1000 Islands here we come....!!!!
PS. I would like to say a major thank you to Chris, Robert, Linc and Donnie for all of your help getting my boat back together and running for this past weekend. You guys are amazing friends.
