Thinking of starting a raritan river fun run,.to raise money for cancer research
I recently attended a boat run,(my first one ever).an I did not feel very welcomed an the guys were not to friendly,..I recently lost my grandfather to liver cancer an he loved everything about race boats,race cars,hot rods,.any pretty much just bad ass ness lol..so i was thinking I should start my very own poker run or race,in his honor,.i have a great marina,restaurant that is willing to participate,I have the whole winter to plan,so what do you guys think?..I was thinking of holding the run from basically south amboy NJ,to Coney Island Bk,an back.an than have a big party/fundraiser in this great restaurant/marina called south shoe grille,.what do you guys think,this can be a great run considering it is placed perfectly to cater to south jersey,Long Island,staten island,Brooklyn,Maryland power boat enthusiasts,.i am a fairly young guy with very much capacity to make this a great run an raise huge prizes,..come on guys let's make this happen in honor of my pop John Martinelli a man who jobbed over 10k men through his lifetime an was a loving generous man who gave all to his family,.an this is something I need to do,an make it go on forever every single year...please guys let's hear some feed back

I would probably hire a Lawyer as well and look at lawsuit protection not saying this as a smart azz but if something was ever to happened at your event even as minor as a slip and fall, watch out.. This year seems that 1 out 2 of all events had something major happen. Just saying. All it takes is one good chase the money Lawyer and your done completely wrecked.

The marina,or restaurant would obviously be insured,an than anything that happened on the water would be covered by your boat insurance,.it would be considered a fun run??

If your putting it together, organizing it, setting it up for some one or some thing to benefit, you have put your head in the noose. You need to make sure the tree isn't high enough to hang yourself.

I am assuming in your 1st post you are referring to South Shore B&G in SI? All other logistics aside, I think the biggest issue with your intended water route is, the water itself. Raritan Bay and out to Coney Island can be very unpredictable and unforgiving at times, as you probably know. You might be better off with an around SI route, or something along those lines. Just a thought.

i want to clear something up in my opening post I may have made it sound like the guys from the run I attended were bad guys,that is not what I meant an I should of re read my post better an realized how it sounded,I was pulled over three times in the town it was held in,.an a couple guys said some not so cool things I over heard,an I have a couple other reasons ide rather not discuss,.but the entire run was great the guys who organized it were more than great an the photographer an helicopter were literally amazing,.i really hope I did not tarnish my name or character by the way I worded my opening state an I am truly sorry if anyone was affended at all by what I said,.and I was 100% wrong for making it sound the way I did,.i hope all can be forgiving an I hope I can earn these guys trust back an occupancy these men again in any other event we may attend,.thankyou again guys,.an again I'm sorry 😔
