its always a great party cant keep Obnoxus ,sommer,& 10X away

[redhotsommer]

This year I was certainly kept away.... Kept waiting on the DOCK for three hours while Little Dennis and Hawk and Obnoxus fixed their boats. Then, when we finally DID leave, it started to rain and Hawk ran to the city w/o us at 90+. We didn't get in any of the good rafts, then we sucked weeds when we went to leave...horrible day. Just ask Tony M!!!!

[Tony M]

Todd-

Maybe if I'd have had some of that, it wouldn't have been such a bad day at all!



All the boats anchoring in the Playpen were ripping up massive seaweed floaters...my bullet-pickups got clogged so when Little D and I took off for home my stbd motor heated up right away. I shut it down and dove in the 55 degree water (yeah...in AUGUST!), pulled the weeds away, fired her up and was good to go. Then I look over, and Little D has his hatch up and is experiencing the same thing only on his port motor. Problem is, he has transom pickups, and the weeds went right on through to the strainer and packed it full. Had to idle 45 minutes over to the nearest harbor to clean it out, then find out he has pretty much trashed the impeller. In the meantime, Tony M is blowing up my phone looking for help on the river, I'm trying to help get him in touch with Mild Thunder (who has already had his day ruined when Art's Aronow cat blew a motor in the first 1/2 mile). Joe ain't picking up, I'm looking after my wingman Little D, and the rest of the clowns are pretty much too wasted to even function.

As for next year...come on down Todd...we'll take your boat!

[OBNOXUS]

Point of order.

I was working on Hawks boat,,, not mine !!!!

[Kool-Aid Man]

It was a great day eh BZ....we were right in the middle of it!!!! Went out the night before for dinner on the river...all and all besides the weather a great day regardless of your boat getting throw up in!!!!

Actually ended up on the SeaRay right next to the Crobar boat. All i have to say is OMG!!!!!!!!! The rain actually made viewing so much better. I would post pictures but this is a PG web site.

[MILD THUNDER]

Yea, art blew his motor, so i ended up idling back down the cal sag 8 miles back to the dock with him in the rain...by the time we took him back, frustrated, soaking wet, their was only one option. Head back out! Finally made it back to the playpen around 3ish...then met up with the crew up at belmont. hung out for a bit, then had to leave 10 minutes later as i was in someones slip.

As for the prior years scene party, i had headed there with art. Ran from hammond to playpen in 6-8'ft seas, partied, then on the way back, lil d, BZ, and a few others had caught up to us and we had a nice group running together....started running hard with them, and grrrrrrrrrr, my port TRS let go. I came to a stop, cell phone rings...it was Art in his cat who was about a 1/2 mile back by this point......

"Hello??"

"Joe, its Art, I got a problem, I just blew my motor, oil everywhere in bilge" (rod thru block)

"ahh $hit man, well, I just blew my drive"

so we tied up together and idled back 8 miles to the marina once again... Starting to feel the scene party is a little unlucky.
