TuckerDog.... What happend on the way to clinton? Saw you stopped with an engine hatch open. Grabbed my card and headded back and u werent there. must have been something easy to repair. saw you in the canal and water was comming from all four of ur pipes so I assume you fixed it.

Man it was cool seeing those cats. all was good for me except getting forgotten at the barge. there was no more dock space at captains table and we went and hooked to the barge. waited over an hour for the shuttle and when he got there he said they allready picked the winning hand. so we said screw it and headded back to the canal, swam and drank more beer.

There was still some room to raft off at Captain's Table. Other than one guy throwing a fissy fit about being blocked in, it went well packing all the boats in.

You missed a good party.

Guy on the dock said no more boats rafting on the docks! It was 4:35 and guy on docks said he would get shuttle right over. Shuttle driver passed us going toward the barge, so he seen us!
A group of us sat there for an hour to find out cards were drawn and 50/50 was about over! Friggin Pissed!
Great boating day, had a blast but in the end we got screwed.
Good thing it was for a charity!

We ruptured a water cooling hose just past the the fresh water pump. Heath (my co-driver) had pulled it off to inspect and possibly repair when a group of guys came up in a Fountain and had a spare hose....what are the odds of somebody carrying a spare hose!!! It wasn't exactly the right one, but we cut it short and made it work! Thanks for all that stopped to offer assistance, especially the Fountain guys with the replacement hose!!!!

We had a great time! We will definately be back next year, and hopefully yet this year for a weekend.

For a "second year" event it went really smoothly. The dock space was a little limited, but seriously......where are you going to put that many boats anyway??? We were fortunate to get tied up in the middle of the action.

As far as the "Rinker Stinker" (the dude that got blocked in.....in a Rinker!!), just added a little entertainment. Really, how does he think he is going to find the drivers of 10 boats to get them moved???? Relax!

It was a great time!!!!

Sorry guys about the whole shuttle boat deal, next year we will work out something better. On another note I think it turned out great, for a first time. Next year you guys that started after the locks should really come down for the start at the capt table. If you guys have any suggestions I'm all ears. Thank you for coming out and supporting a great cause. Next year will be even better.
