Need to get together on this, if I had 56 PQ's to park I could do it. Remove the cats that need more room, if people won't raft, raft out the end of center dock, John is cool with it. plus the Sante dock. Take it from here, this is a start.

I'd be fine with rafting, just preferred if we are on the dockside, as we will be spending both nights on the boat and we'll have a 4 year old with that I dont want jumping on/across others boats everytime he wants to go the bathroom.

drpete3 05-25-2012 06:23 PM

Its not official but I think we may allow a few more boats in. Watch the site a week from today

Will you be posting boat number to name? Being my first time, just curious who everyone is.

No, it is not. We found out the hard way when we burned down a buddies swim raft at 120 in the 488 skater last year.. He loved it, but his neighbors, not so much :)

We got a little talking to at the drivers meeting the next morning.

Where is the place to be if you bring your boat to be a spectator?

kgreskow 06-05-2012 06:32 AM

Personally we have watched from a few spots. First in front of one water street boyne city there is a lap made at the start by all participant's make sure you out a ways so not in the way. Round lake in charlevoix is neat because it is a no wake zone and you get see everyone idle thru. Our favorite was out in front if the pier in lake Michigan. Get to watch everyone open them up usually pretty good waves sometimes good air also. Neat to go thru channel before hand people are shoulder to shoulder on the peir.

A few years we got DNR ok for 85, changing of the guard, new lady is a little tough. 55mph!! Respect the DNR boat on Lake Charlevoix!!! She makes the Sheriff and Coast Guard look like Cub Scouts.

Checked out parking for truck and trailers at Sommer Set for Boyne Thunder, 10 to 12 spots to park across the street. Good choice for the Marshal Boats to use!

They should have fuel at the lunch stop. There was a fuel type question in the registration process.

Hey Jim it's Hunter I met you last year at Rons SkaterFest, I had 42xciggie, anyway I think I am having a tanker come with 110 for me, so if you confirm I will have them bring enough fuel for both of us. It is VP110 by the way! How is your 28 and the 46 running?
