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:
