My crew and I had a blast. We'll be back next year for sure. My buddy got a lot of great pictures that I'll post here when I get them.

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.

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!

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.


Let me know please. I saw you around but never got to formally meet you! Your cat looked and sounded great! was truly awesome to see out of towners come out and enjoy the river!

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.

Lol what can I say, I'm really talented at throttling a boat. I'd have loved to just picked a line and ran but with the rough water I was constantly having to find clean water to run in.
