Should I assume it was called the "LUMBER RUN" due to the amount of debris in the water???

Left Clinton to head up there and realized the water on the sound was pretty rough and the forcast was for the wind to keep blowing so it was a short boat ride... Didn't know what the plans were for heading to HP (sounded like things were changing last minute) so I decide to just pass this time around.

How were conditions on the river? Probably another good day to have the windshield. :)

Glad to hear you guys had a good time! Looking forward to the pictures and hearing the details! :cool:

SS Excellent run. What a day! wish you could have made it. I ran up with a bunch of guys who launched at OS and some guys who road down to met us. There were a few timbers seeing is i split one. Bit the skeg a bit but no serious danmage that i can fix with 50 bucks and my Tig. Chris should be on here soon with Pics along with Jeff.

Great day.....

Got more....

I'm renaming my boat "Log-Splitter":drink:

Great pics Kevin. Looks like a good turn-out! I hope those little river boats were running in front of you guys . Those things would scare the sh!t out of me, just looking at the hulls you'd think a 6" ripple in the water could cause major problems!!!

No surprise regarding timber in the river. I dont think I've ever gone from the mouth to Middletown w/o seeing at least a couple of big branches in the water. I can only imagine how much debris was in the water after all the rain and 3 days of heavy winds. At least there was no serious damage or injuries! :cool:

Mike, sounds like you might have gotten off pretty easy... a bent prop could have been a little more costly. :D

Better that than "Hull-Splitter"! :drink:

The CPBA needs more support. although we have a good mount of mebers we need more funds to get great runs scheduled in CT.

Got lucky is all I have to say. And your correct could have been a lot worse bent prop took off the waterinlet hose or busted the nose cone. So with an hour or 2 and a couple bucks ill have it better then new.
-Mike

I'll second what Jeff's saying...the CPBA needs your support. There's strength in numbers, and it won't be long before it's our turn in the spotlight defending out sport from government lobyists. As an official organization we will have a voice, but we need support for that voice to be heard!
Oh, yeah, stuff like yesterday is pretty cool, too!
Join the CPBA!

C post some pics to show every1 what cpba is all about.

Geez Jeff, I'd bet you guys are scaring folks away with that lenghty and intimidating application! :eek:

He was worried hed have SUTPHEN ENVY!:kiss:

Jeff,
Empty your PM's. ;)

Scot I emptied them.



Jimmy what boat you bringing to the run this weekend 24th?

I MAY be there now.

Hey Jeff
Can't make the 24th. Plans with my daughter come first this weekend. You get home without any damage last weekend?

yeah, last weekend I was fine no damage at all.

It was more weeds than anything and the wood was pretty brittle in the water so it just fell apart for the most part. allot of guys were breaking logs I kept a pretty good eye out that day.

How about you?

I got your message by the way but your number didnt show up on caller ID PM me with your cell one of these days.

Did anyone get any more pics. Not gonna lie i slacked in that Deparment.
-Mike
