the 12th Annual Dustoff

[roadtripse]

So do I run with the 22's or the big power segment of the Poker Run?

Dazed and confused, but I think the boat will be ready for LG!

Really looking forward to it. First time.

Todd,

let me take ya thru it
1. get a lake pass for the week available at beckley's, chic's , the outdoor's man

on Sat morning( make sure you are full of fossil fuels there is a gas dock across from the capri treasure cove beckley's or chic across from the algonquin check with Dr Dan on fuel usage for a bbc 22 then you''ll hop in the boat and make the 5 mile jaunt up to the algonquin you'll dock get to see everyone and see the boats have a light breakfast drivers/safety meeting everyone will fire up the boats the run will form up infront of the island infront of the algonquin the first leg will be the rare uncommon classics the minx criterion hornets and the like a lead boat will be choosen and will lead the run down to the village like an 8 mile run to off the village docks all the rare boats will be up front and the 16 18's 22's will fall in behind them the flag ( lead boat will get it's card first then the boats on the lead for that leg will get their cards then everyone else, the flag will be passed to the next leader which will be an 18 now all the 18 will run up front to stop 2 about a 5 mile run which will be the stop where yours truely will be handing out cards and the same procedure will be taken for the cards and the flag will now be passed to the 22 which lead the run out onto the big deep end of the lake and up into the narrows like a 10 12 mile run to stop 3 then while up in the narrows where the water is calmer the flag will go to a 16 and they will lead the run to stop 4 then the flag will be given to the big boys and the lead boat will lead you to stop five and then back to the algonquin to play the cards have a bite to eat vote for the owners choice and the judges will finalize their cards for the boat show categories and by like 1 pm you will be free to roam the 32 mile lake you just covered some head north some head south some go to the village some just keep the hammer down then at 6 30 - 7 pm we will meet back at the algonquin ( no boats this time and we will have dinner the show results the poker run results the trivia contest the raffle/auction and a gran old time then sunday we start it all over again with a full lake run if you want to lead then lead then we meet for lunch and back on the trailers or back onto lake if you are staying til monday you will run your boat hard and you will see a great lake

we have built in a few safety's on the formal run so we don't loose anyone and no one passes the lead boat this is a new format we might use it again or we might go on to something else to keep it fresh
and i know you if you want that early morning rooster tail ride the lake is there waiting the lake grows as the day goes on and hopefully we will not have a substantial wind out of the north

together with a little fresh rooster spray. Who needs coffee when you have pure adrenaline to start the day?

Danny and I will be there Wednesday, along with Dwight even earlier in the week, so I would hope that things will start to look familiar by the time we do the Poker Run. Just as a backup, I am going to load a chart on the GPS.

Thanks Matty, for the run down and the pics. It looks like a very cool place. I regret not getting there sooner, but later is better than never. Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the Pirate's crew.

[mattyboy]

the pirate's crew might be deserters that weekend the 2 young crew mates have been plundering the local entertainment/gaming and bar and restaurant establishments Joe is working at the local EB game store and Jamie is bussing tables at the Emerald point and My first mate has just gotten out of sick bay and we are waiting for a final ok from doc mcoy
so the pirate might be sailing solo that weekend but he will be on the high seas

Todd if you can run the lake wed thurs and friday you will be comfortable on the Lake there are coves and such but not really any fingers or off shoots that will get you lost the lake really runs north and south I have been going up there for years and I still get a little lost on some points of the lake I try and pick out landmarks like the nice white A frame with the nice deck and the big formula in the boat house is the cove where stop 2 is but every year they either paint the house or sell the boat?? one year I know the the run is gonna get to stop 2 before I do

you have boated on some big water you will be fine the only thing that got me the first time was the tour boat wakes they different from the freighter wakes at 1000 isles you'll be heading south on one side of the lake and you'll past The Mohican heading north a mile to your port about 5 minutes later you encounter the wake it is not immediate like it is at 1000 isles but they dodn't let thoose big boy up into the narrows the narrows is like a runway with a few slight bends there are some rocks but everything is well marked you will have a blast

Matty, my 7 cylinder 572 wants to know if the little boathouse off the TC docks has premium fuel??

[mattyboy]
