If I launched in Beaumont, I would not have to worry about filling up and I would save a ton of $$$$$. I have been to the Beaumont Yacht Club before, and the place seems safe to leave your truck and trailer there for a day or so. Nice Boat Launch and plenty of parking.

By the way, I did see slips for parking at L'Auberge on Google Earth. L'Augerge has a awesome buffet with king grab legs and a lazy river. Where is the Golden Nugget that has boat parking? I don't know where the Golden Nugget is located.
Damn that sounds awesome. Yeah that'd be a pretty sweet run still coming from Beaumont. I would be trailering from Austin so Clear Lake or Beaumont is about the same. I think I'd be in!

My boat can't go any slower than 38 to 40. I like to cruise between 42 to 50. If you can't keep up, I can always stop and drink a beer while you catch up.

I posted on Texas Big Boats on Facebook asking if they plan trips to Lake Charles. Someone responded and said they do it several times a year. They will most likely plan trips when it gets warmer. I am going to keep tabs and watch Texas Big Boats on Facebook. check it out and scroll down till you see all the boats in the water. That was the Neches River Event in Beaumont I went to. It was a lot of fun.

I'll make a post on Texas Boat Forums and see if a group from there would be down. It sounds like a hell of a fun cruise and logistically simple.

I really hope to make this. It sounds like a blast. How many would be leaving from Clear Lake Area?

It will be perfect for the run and by the way it is not a speed run it will be just a great fun run...so let's start putting some dates up and take a vote on the best date!

Here you guys go, picked April since it's starting to warm up and if we did it in may we'd be competing with Tickfaw. Then June is Outlaw Challenge.

So far on a quick Facebook poll, there's five boats in.
