Next Event - April 16th Lake Union / Ship Canal Cruise

[Tim McCrain]

Ditto, Are you going ? Echo



Hey Tim, don't we monitor channel 69 ?

Do we? Duuhh ... why was I thinking 16?

[Bflaherty]

After the frustration of discovering that neither of my two boats are currently usable... We will be at the April 16th event!! Tried to get the Chris ready and discovered the 15 gallons of gas left in the tank have turned and won't fire, I headed south to get boat number 2 and discovered that with last year's short summer I never ran the Havoc after the slough run so I never bought tabs for 2010... This is the first time since I have owned my own boat that I don't have one operational, and I don't like this feeling...:shocked2:

Anyway, my better half will be off the weekend of the 16th so we will be there with the Chris Craft testing and prepping for opening day..

Brian : Since I'm pretty much ready to go and we live so close - do you want a hand this weekend getting your boat ready ? If you do let me know and I'll help with what I can ? Maybe trade for one of those Octopus outfits for my "Sea Princess " :GoTeam1:

[Steve_Kiesel]

Tim, I will be attending as well. I'll be launching at Magnuson Park.

[Tim McCrain]

Gotcha

Glad you can make it Steve, I've added you to the list.

[Bflaherty]

Its alive!! Its alive!!

So I finally got the Chris Craft started and decided with the nice weather I would load up a few friends and hit the water. Going to spend tomorrow cleaning and repairing a few leaking gaskets but we are totally ready for next weekend!!!

[slo-mo]

Boat or not, Everyone is welcome...

Looking at Tim's list, it is obvious that many boats have excess capacity - including mine (Holly and our dog Coulee are taking a 3-day Sheep herding class next weekend).

Whether you are a new member or old salt that hasn't peeled the tarp off yet, come down to the launch and help burn someone else's fuel.

You are invited!:HandHorn1:

[GregJ]

Can't make it, boat will be at Custom Canvas getting alterations. I'm trying to get everything done by opening day.

So, is your camera broken ??

[Tim McCrain]

Sorry you can't make it Greg, I was looking forward to you and Chuck discussing something (anything!) at lunch.

Hey, you should ride with Slo-Mo, he'll be lonely in Big Slow all by himself.

[Skagitguy]

Hey ! GregJ you can ride with me and Dan in a real Skagit if you would like ?

[Ken]

Won't make it...

We will be out of town for this event and Opening Day--rats! Have fun! -Ken
