apparently pearson is gonna need something with a bit of a twang to it... wait.. come to think of it, I think he's already been sipping it.

[roadtripse]

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

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
This is going to be the best event ever should be a great weekend so get there with or without the boat

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.

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...
