The weather is not looking too bad for tomorrow. At least no thunder.

I've got a new 5 blade to try in the rough so the LI Sound it will be. Claudio's sounds like a good plan to me.
Sonic Joe, I call ya when I hit the water...

Went out today after I won my match. We ran the boat pretty good. On the way back from going around Shelter Island we met up with two friends of mine with a 42 Fountain and a 35 Donzi Zr. Ran around 75-80 the whole way back. The weather was actually pretty nice out there today. See everyone at Claudios tomorrow.

We went to Knapp's for a lobster roll and some drinks and then a quick blast up to Milford and back.

Hey Guys:

Went to the Thimbles yesterday with Jromy. weather was great then over to Bruce and Johnson in Branford ate at Dockside. Last year they didn't like our kind of boat and turned us away. This year was another story. Great food, clean and convenient.

We were going to try and make it to Claudio's today, but had a few Tequila's at cancun Charlie's in Milford Harbor and they had to peel me from the floor. Had a late start today, don't think we'll make claudio's.

Well, it looks like I'll be acting as crew for Full Throttle today. After our run yesterday, my boat was running way too flawlessly, so I decided to test out its' amphibious abilities at the launch ramp I guess on Monday I'll be making some calls and may be putting those 5 blades on sooner than I planned...

JROMY, how bad did you hurt those props?
5 blades may work for you, call Todd at Hydromotive and see what he says. Bet he will send you a set to try out for next weekend. Sorry I couldn't make it down this weekend, worked all day Sat and been putting up a new pool at home today for my girls. Try to keep Ron off the floor of the bar today.

Morgan - they really aren't too bad, so I'm having Hale repair them. I decided that I'm going to wait until a little later in the year for the 5 blades. By the way, I did a pretty good job of keeping Ron off the floor of the bar yesterday....unfortunately, though, I think I replaced him on it...

I'm so glad that I found a replacement for my spot on the bar floor. I needed an ice scraper to help Jromy.

To quote a famous comedian Cris Rush:

"you know that you're really stoned when you go to brush something off your shoulder and it's the floor"

But we really did have loads of fun and almost recruited a Hooter waitress. We'll point her out next time you come down Morgan.

Here's something for us CT guys. I just found out that we may be entitled to a refund from the state of Connecticut for road tax on our gas which we purchase for the water. 25 cents per gallon refund. Lot's of wings at Hooters...not to mention pitchers of Coors Light. SAVE THOSE RECEIPTS!!

Hey JBOUTLAW25:

There's Dockside Restaurant all the way at the end of Branford Harbor in Bruce & Johnson's Marina(see Dockmaster).

Milford Harbor at the end you have CanCun Charlie's, Archie Moore's, Citrus, Seven Seas, SBC and Stonebridge Restaurant(Call Milford Landing on Channel 13). Lots of tail here.

There is Sage Grill inside on the left of New Haven Harbor(take channel to left opposite tanker & Barge docks).

In Bridgeport Harbor there's Dolphin Cove Marina(great Portuguse food and big Brazilian party on the 30th of June).

Past Bridgeport harbor, further west, is Captain's Cove Marina at the end of that channel(good seafood and chicks).

Have fun or just call me for additional info (203) 640-4009.

Ron
