the 12th Annual Dustoff

ok the stops have been finalized and the locations will be sent to the flag carriers in an email,make sure you bring the cameras rumor has it that there is going to be a photo contest as well, man the surprises just keep coming I can't wait to see the ultimate a 94 mph hornet and trying to see Pearson dock it without scratching it :) he'll probably wrap the docks in bubble wrap or maybe the boat for that matter, I'll have to pay the kids up there to pop it at night :p
This is going to be the best event ever should be a great weekend so get there with or without the boat

I predict that big bad chebby in de ultimate sucks a rotor right out of that 10-71 half way to the 2nd card stop...

I'm not trying to be anal, but Lake George is a pristine lake still used for drinking water by many without filtration. The local lake associations are actively trying to educate boaters about the threat of bringing invasive species from other water bodies (especially eurasian milfoil and zebra muscles). Please take the time to flush and clean your boat (I know we are Donzi owners and always clean our boats) before arriving at the Lake. Thanx

Posted Lake George Park Decontamination Procedures
Inspect - Thoroughly inspect your boat’s hull, drive unit, trim plates, trimming plates, prop guards, transducers, anchor and anchor rope and trailer. Scrape off and trash any organisms, however small found. Remove all water weeds hanging from boat or trailer. Inspection and removal of marine growth is required and appreciated to protect the lake’s environment.
Drain - Drain all bilge water, live wells. Bait buckets and any other water from your boat and equipment upland. Trash leftover bait at the boat launch site; leftover live aquatic bait should not be dumped into a water body or taken from one water body to another.
Wash - Thoroughly flush the hull, drive unit, live wells (and live well pumping system), bilge, trailer, bait buckets, engine cooling water system, and other boat parts that got wet while in infested waters, using a hard spray from a garden hose. If you boat was in other water bodies for a long period of time or if you found any adult mussels or other organisms, use HOT (140F) water instead of cold, or tow the boat through a do-it-yourself carwash and use the high pressure hot water to "de-alien" your boat. Do not use environmentally unsound washing solutions.
Dry - Dry after boating. Boats and trailers should be allowed to dry thoroughly in the sun for 2 to 4 days before being launched into other waters.

Matty: Where is the Sagamore relative to Chic's by water?

It would be nice if EVERYONE would do this... It was a futile attempt in Michigan as nearly every navigatable body of water is now infested with zebra mussels. Lake Erie is now a fairly clean lake because of them but on the same token they encrust everything and wreak havoc on water intakes for cities such as Toledo and what not. Nothing worse than climbing downt he ladder at the end of your dock and cutting your foot on one of those pesky things...

Frank, The Sagamore is a bit more than a mile north of Chic's. so does this mean you are coming to the Dust-Off?

when you leave Chic's go out past the small island keep it on your right then make a left head north a bit you can't miss it

I just got back from this year's maiden voyage. I have a couple kinks to work out of the old girl but I'm going to try to get down Sunday for the lake tour and maybe the M&G Friday nite. Hoping to hook up with friends both old and new...

Thanks for the info guys.


Frank

now if you are heading north from the treasure cove and capri village area and you past the Sagamore you have gone to far the algonquin and chic's are hidden by a few small islands so go past the islands and turn in towards the sagamore and then you'll see the algonquin and chic's

Good to know. Thanks Matty!

Frank
On Lake George I can keep up with anybody that obeys the law. :roll:

Good one Frank.

Actually, the real story on the speed limit is the LGPC calls me every spring and says "Jay, how fast you running?", I say "Comfortably,not much more than 50", then they say "how loud?" and I say "about 90dBs", and they say "Good! We'll print it!". So there you have it!

Maybe we can start the "Boat too old to spin a Solas Club". Hope you can make it.

-Jay
