OFFICIAL AOTH XII Thread-May 17-19, 2012

Todd, will the next iteration of the flower pot be ready? I gave it a friendly pat on the nose this afternoon...

[roadtripse]

Mike, If you were in the area and really did give the Flowerpot a pat today, thank you, she needs the encouragement. If you really are in the area, give me a call and we will hook up for some of the best microbrew and wood oven pizza you have ever had, tomorrow afternoon. No seriously, we have the place...

The SE is pretty much done. Got a new Aronow/GT hatch, thanks to Josh and Donzidirect, and a Herring five blade to mess around with, but it is definitely someone else's turn to shine as the Sandbagger King this year on the rally circut, and I know a few folks working on just that!

[MadPoodle]

I remember that place.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[JraySray]

Quick aside: Speaking of towing, I don't know but I've been told...

With Boat US tow insurance, coverage travels with the PERSON, not the vessel. So, if you have coverage and are on someone else's boat in need of a tow, your insurance coverage still applies. Can be worth a lot of scratch.

I never knew that, but apparently it's the case (or was, as recently as about a year ago).

So, regardless of whether you bring a boat, it's good to bring your card.

You have to be the said captain of the vessel and the owner no where around. In other words if you borrow your buddies boat and your buddy is not on the boat Tow boat US will tow, assist or whatever. If you buddy is on the boat with you no bueno... It happend to me.

[Donzi Vol]

...I hesitate in using the word "class-action", but both Ghost and DonziVol have contacted me....

Phil, maybe it's just my late night last night, but I'm kinda confused. Either way, you all are welcome on the little black boat anytime.

Why no sir, the owner is not on board.. Hey, think we should pick up that swimmer on the way in??

Thanks, that's just my kinda joint. Would have loved to it had to be a drop and dash as I had a deadline back here. Set a new record for elapsed time in MI on a trip: under 3 hours in-state. It'd be great to get together--when I'll be around longer I'll definitely let you know.

Glad to hear the boat's pretty-well done. All I could see was the cover and some clean white gel.

Sorry, was just poking some fun at the indemnification / release for the AOTH event. (believe me, I get it...), just figured it might need a revision or two for those of us (me) riding towards the rear being hit by all the flying, and/or partially sub-merged sand-bags coming from the front of the pack!

All in fun !

I had just read mwdc's indemnity, as well as two commercial leases (for work), and a stack of documents for two real estate closing's next week (all good). Not my day for reading more legalize for a boating event, that is supposed to be taking my mind off work ! Just poking fun at the sand-bagger's a bit on behalf of the slower boats (mine)...just a bit of levity.

Thank you for the offer though DV. If she ever comes back from the shop, I'm pretty sure ol' Firefly will pass inspection. Either way, it's nice to know I can ride with you...or on the tow-boat !

Looking forward to a fun weekend !

It'll be a good time. Glad you'll be able to make it!

Jefe - you might have some fish boat competition this year




This might also be the year my elusive husband shows up. He's been asking questions... Maybe it's better to leave him at home?

[Team Jefe]

Oh reeeeeeaaaaally, Bring it on Baby!!!

[roadtripse]

Registrations are starting to come in. Talked to the hotel and they say rooms and cabins are booking up. Still plenty of space, but don't get caught, and fence sitters, go ahead and do it. If you have never been, this is one of the great ways to get the season started! Be here before you know it....

[FISHIN SUCKS]

Oh reeeeeeaaaaally, Bring it on Baby!!!

Don't be afraid my salt water trash friend, what they consider a prize catch in fresh water is what you use for bait!!!! That line handed to me by FishBoy and redilvered to you by me, FISHIN SUCKS.

luv tom

[DonziGirl]

Up north FISHIN SUCKS! Who'd want to fish up there? We generally fish in the FL Keys in winter south of Marathon but the layout seems like it would be a great party boat...

[Phil S]

...was looking for something else, but came across this one. Not sure I agree with the analogy, but a fun article to read. Looking forward to AOTH.
