Magicall Bill, I remember you mentioning a visit to Portage Lake...complete with an appearance by your band. Can you tell me again when that is happening?

I missed your heralded pair of Ski Sporters last summer, and hope to meet up this year. :yes:

My boat 22C has been a work in progress since I bought it new in '05. First I opened up the "cuddy" area, then put in the HP525EFI, Bravo XR, BBlades prop and some small stuff. This year will see the full steering, billet battery boxes, sea strainer and a few more details and the boat will be where I want it. Then I will enjoy lots of boating on the Great Lakes this summer. A highlight will be an overnighter to Cedar Point. There will be lots of trips to PIB too! Should be a great boating year!!!!:crossfing:

I am hoping for a homecoming run this year. I'd also hope the factory gets back involved...

Either Sarasota or Destin doesn't matter.

Another East Coast run would be awesome. Some of the best water to actually run on over there. Time will tell on that one.

Crossing my fingers on the Antique boat run still.

And of course I'm still trying to work out a Bahamas run.

All of you have a pretty impressive line up we are still putting the hornet back together don't know if it will be finished but I thought it would be refreshing to here what is planned for the season for you guys. Very cool In deed! We will most likely do do the NJPPC poker run if ready with the only 2 classics in the fleet that I know of.

I am referring to the Elk River in Northern Michigan running into Elk Lake, which I have been in. Perhaps not the same one you were asking about?

Too cool, we will have to swap stories of Northern Michigan at AOTH!!! My Uncle was mayor of Alanson for 26 years, grandparents owned Action Realty in Alanson and Indian River, family lives all over the dang place up there, etc etc.... Better stop now before I get majorly accused of a **Thread Hijack**:shocking:.

My plans are unfortunately modest. Finish my cuddy conversion and mechanical indicator install, then more or less stay put until a new funding source (i.e. job) comes on-line.

But I'm taking a little trip from Oakland to Half Moon Bay later this morning, if that counts for anything! (and no, not doing that by donzi. The conditions are quite mild; only 7-8' swells per the weather buoys)

Wellllll I was planning on the AOTH this year after hearing about it from the guys at Eufaula last year.....But the lack of work this past couple of months and the condition of the existing tow vehicle is gonna keep me around this part of the country this year...(Don't give up on me yet guys!)

Our summer list of trips.....

1. Doing a river run from Columbia, AL to Apalachicola, FL on Memorial Day weekend.

2. Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival June 4th-6th @ Ft. Walton Beach, FL.

3. Suwannee River, FL for the 4th of July weekend.

4. Emerald Coast Poker Run in Destin, FL Aug 12th-16th

5. Eufaula 12 on Labor Day weekend

6. and if theres a homecoming in Destin we will be there for sure!
