Same place same time. July 25th. Coyote cove 2. As usual i will be at the bouy line of Thompson bay at 10am. I will then lead the masses to coyote cove 2 where the party will happen. Bring the kids bring the side chicks. Lets do this. The record to date is 33 boats. I wanna break this!!

Hope to see all of ya'll.

Edit. Date change. I fucked up when i was figuring my weekends off. I have to work the weekend i originally planned this. I'm moving it to the weekend of the 25th. Hope that doesn't ruin to much for others. This is assuming the world is even open!

Can't do it this year as I'm currently boatless. However, I'd like to do this and more events next year and meet some new peeps.

Picked up a couple of these to get ready for the raft up. My fenders aren’t quite the best for raft ups. Hoping these are decent.

Those are ok for docks (if the water isn't rough, you will need bigger if they are). Generally speaking the longer barrel shaped fenders work the best in adverse conditions.
The problem with those is they are very height sensitive, and while 12 inches sounds like a lot.. It isn't when it's in a circle. 12 inch diameter fender is huge if it's long. I think the ones I run are 10'ish by 24 inches long.. I can measure one, but I've been buying the same or similar ones for years and they flat ass work.

The McRaftup isn't bad because it's in a cove, but for other tie-ups in the main lake etc..

Previous posts made it sound like it was a bit rougher. I figured a little more protection wouldn’t hurt. My current fenders are only 6 1/2” x 20” ish. It’s the largest that’ll fit in the holders or I’d step up the whole program.
i never knew how many options there were. Almost went beach ball size for extra protection.

Looks like the Letstieup IG has some custom deals. May be a cool RDP store item.

Am I the only one that's disappointed there's no photos of the prior raft ups on this thread?! WTF?

I don’t think there is many. I brought a drone one year but I’d have to go back and find the photos.

Well that explains all the GAWD-DAMN Traffic!! 😤 😆
@McRib, "Damn Boat" might be ready to go in a couple of days. (knock on wood) my 40th is on Friday the 24th, so I am planning on heading out there Thursday night.
I've never heard of "coyote cove" and it's not listed on my map. Would you mind posting a satellite map of it?

Hope you make it out. I added a picture of where it’s located. Hope it helps.
