...A final reminder that the Slough Run and accompanying Lake Washington Cruise will take place next Saturday, March 13, with Slough Runners launching by 10 a.m. at Lake Sammamish State Park's ramp, and Lake Washington cruisers launching at the same hour at Coulon Park, on Lake Washington in Renton.
Slough Runners will run the length of Lake Sammamish, then 11 miles down the Sammamish River to Kenmore (where they'll meet up with the Lake Washington fleet), and the whole bunch will then cruise south on Lake Washington back to Coulon Park. (Slough Run skippers will then be shuttled over to Lake Sammamish to pick up their tow rigs, so they can pull their boats out back at Coulon.)
Greg James made an excellent point about the route for this event: We really need to all follow the same course, so that any members who need help or break down can find assistance easily. Coming and going from Coulon, let's monitor VHF Channel 69 and follow the eastern shore of Lake Washington in both directions: up the East Channel on the inside of Mercer Island, under the East Channel Bridge and the east end of the Highway 520 bridge, then past Kirkland and Juanita up to Kenmore...and the same eastside course on the return to Coulon.
If Slough Runners want to meet for breakfast before Doing the Slough, the traditional time and place is 8 to 8:30 a.m. at the Issaquah IHOP, off Exit #15 as you approach Issaquah on I-90.
Scheduled to participate in the Lake Washington portion of the event are Jay and Tara Giese aboard their big Chris-Craft (guests welcome; contact them via the message board if you'd like to ride aboard Tabu); Chuck Carey, Marty Loken, Jerry and Becky McRorie, Lowell Lorenz, Tim McCrain, Jack Dando, Dennis Huffman, Greg James and Steve Kiesel.
Scheduled to take part in the Slough Run are Tom Horn of Portland, Gordon and Cheryl Davies, Greg Lamb, Tim Mattson and Brian Franchini. (Haven't heard recent updates from Tim and Brian--are you guys going to make it?)
That makes 13 boats, total, plus at least a few boatless guests who will be riding with others.
Who am I missing? Anybody else planning to take part in this always-fun event?
Let's have another round of cell-phone-number exchanges, just to be sure everyone can stay in touch. Mine is (360) 301-6737.
