Last time I was at Dissapearing Island, I lost count of the boats that had anchored on high tide, and were sitting litteraly high and dry when the tide went out.

I had to come into Halifax on a holiday weekend with my surface drive boat, with only one engine running, and of course that was the engine the powersteering ran off of that wasn't running. It's not like it steered real easily with both engines running a low speed, and it was an adventure navigating Halifax with practically no steering. I made it to the dock withot taking out one of those big yachts anchored there, but when I got near the docks, I had to cut off a guy that was waiting to pull out, because there was no way I could stay in a holding position. I hollered at him that I had no steering, then appologised to him when he pulled out. He was very understanding.

I'll be stuck at Fishstock all weekend. Probably the first Mem weekend since i was a kid that I didn't get on the water. I may try to get out a little Monday depending what time I end up going home.

That's a bit far for me in such a short notice. I can get to the Glenn in about 45 mins. by water.

There is going to be a big group of us from the Jacksonville Performance Boat Club at Bayard Point Sandbar around 11:30 for a Raft-off. Bayard Point is Just south of Shands Bridge (s.r. 16) on the Green Cove Springs side of the river.

If you are coming from the glen, Palatka is a little more than the halfway mark..
