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.

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 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.
