I'm sure that's not legal, and I think if we floated back it would be morning by the time we made it back. I would plan on a designated driver.
I believe the plan was to cruise at plane speed on the way back which is about 15-25 mph depending on the boat. And make a few stops on the way back.

sounds good!......i wont be in front thats for sure!

My boat is slow so I am use to following. [emoji20] This is going to be a great adventure.

Booked ... solo cameras in hand ... drive up and catch the arrival, etc.

Shueman you are more than welcome to go with us!

Dirtbag said:
just curious....are we floating home or are we driving the boats?

rpmsrup said:
I have used it before and it works really good you just dont shine it directly at the water, I would also like to not hit a floating stump

We usually just idle or just above idle back with several night time stops along the way. We will definitely be using a DD, and I would encourage everyone too.

Sounds like a cool time. What time do you head up there?

renodaytona · Jul 20, 2017

Anyone have a place to crash Friday night when I get in around midnight and also for Saturday after we get back from the shenanigans? It's just me, the wife decided she wasn't going to come down for this quick trip. If I need to I'll book a room but was just putting the feelers out, thanks in advance:drink.

Figured I'd hang out in the channel and head up around sunset.

RD do you have a price for the dinner???

RiverDave · Jul 25, 2017

fishing fool said:

It's not much.. I think it's 25 bucks? They run the special every week. Every week day they have some sort of special on food.

I will start a roll call thread this afternoon, because I have to see how many people are going.

RD

outboardrick · Jul 25, 2017

Joker · Jul 25, 2017

Yes, leaving the channel about dusk according to RD.

shueman · Jul 27, 2017

Dave, I put a link to this thread on our Eliminator Boat Owner page on FB ... I'm sure we'll get a few more to participate on the Run ... :thumbsup

Icky · Jul 29, 2017

I can't go now, work is getting in the way:thumbsdown

Hopefully something changes though

Kailuaboy89 · Aug 2, 2017

For some reason I feel like the arrival of the RDP party at Topock66 as the scene from "Caddyshack" when they allowed the Caddies into the pool for 15 minutes......

Lol.. that's probably what it's gonna look like if this humidity keeps up. I'll be ordering my shit in the pool.

Looks like 50% + humidity all weekend. Temps in the low to mid 90's.

Going to be an interesting few days for sure. I am going to have to be pretty strategic on where I take the family, Thursday and Friday. That Humidity means pop up t storms.

Thinking the gorge would be a good place to chill..........or Satellite Cove.
