    Cool Mid-summer get together

    We are looking at putting together a casual gathering of DONZI friends and families up in the Northeast the weekend of July 12-15th. Nothing is set in stone yet, as we are working on the location and logistics still, but we would like to gauge the interest before we go to far with the planning.

    Thanks, definitely interested, holding it on the calendar. Put myself in the poll as a maybe but am more of a 'most probably.'

    The proposed venue is at Lake George, NY. The event will be open to all models of DONZI's, and anything else from the Aronow heritage, up to 35'. Magnum's, Cigarette's, Squadron VII, Donzi, Formula, Aronow.... you get the idea There will be no Poker Runs, or speed runs, or need for lake escorts. There will be raft-up's, picnic's, dinner's, lunches, parties, everything... Obviously, any pertinent LG rules and laws apply. There will be various water related activities throughout the 4 days on the lake, and landside. Final accomodation layouts and facilities are being finalized soon and will be announced, but will be familiar.

    I personally, am only a messenger, I am NOT the organizer or even a spokesman, as this will be handled by others closer to the area.

    With that all said, whether your interested or not, please reply to the poll in an honest fashion. While it is recognized that there is another Donzi related event on the same lake, this event will take on a different flavor due to the invited heritage hulls, and is not meant to be competition. Each event will have it's own attributes, and advantages. Being that 2014 will be the 50th Anniv of Donzi, I would expect the 2nd year event to be a humdinger with 2013 as the pilot event..

    Happy boating to all..

    I'd be there! I'm camping on the islands in LG over the 4th week but I'd come back up for that weekend. I'd nail the plans down pretty early as lodging can get tight during the summer months. The Super 8 in Warrensburg is a good choice. Would there be a host hotel as well or only picnic and hangout spots?

    I'm 90% in. Need final approval, but on the water almost every weekend.

    Cool

    I love the concept...but would really prefer a different venue, LG although beautiful is already hosting 2 Events, Some place less restrictive and fresh...again my opinion which is what it is...I hear great things about Lake Champlain...Vermont.

    I think it would be nice to have a different place to experience... we could scout it out before hand...its not much farther away and I think alot of regulars would welcome a different Event, I know they would like to not be haunted by the Noise Police, Speed Police or see the same sites over and over again...

    My observation as a native of the area is that the southern basin of Lake Champlain is highly polluted. It is a grey , dishwasher discharge color and the paper mill in Ticonderoga,New York ( International Paper) didn't help it by dumping it's waste discharge into it for years until the laws changed about 10 years ago. You can't see the bottom in two feet of water although further up the Lake , it's beautiful. Comparing it to Lake George is a crime. Champlain is 700 feet deep at its deepest point, LG is 200 feet. I've been to Champlain on a windy weekend and with 3 foot rollers, you'll have to keep the Donzi on the trailer all weekend. You could get lucky and catch it right. Champlain is 118 miles long, LG is 32. Champlain has 70 islands, LG has 165 public islands and 230 private islands. Its twice as wide as LG and you actually can get lost easy on Champlain. Did you notice on LG you don't need GPS because you can always see the shoreline. The biggest reason you don't want to go to Lake Champlain is they have a large dangerous Monster there named Champ ,(GOOGLE him,you'll see ) lurking there and he eats Donzis when he surfaces. Also , all the motels up there don't have clocks and they refuse to give you a free wake up call so your always late for all the events and could actually go for 3 days and never participate in any events and you wouldn't even know when it was time to go home. Dr.Dan, please go up there and check it out , but bring your Pantera.

    I'd end up in jail. Bring it north a little to Lake Erie or Ontario and let's run the boats. Fast, loud & legal. I had to vote no. Can't eat that kind of expense for raft-ups. Might try for AOTH this year.
