hey guys, this sounds like it would be a blast. meeting, eating, beer and fish. gotta love it ( no beer on boat , of course)<br /><br />drunk captains suck<br /><br />its a bit far for me though. im currently trying to get together a mini central florida get together camping on the islands, this way it saves all that hotel money for bait and beer!! :) <br /><br />i havent even been on iboats a year and its already been a blast. you guys are great ! thanks to all !

well p-mike, i hope you do get to meet some others down in tampa. :D <br /><br />papasage, i guess i'll see you at alhonna, if you'll be there sat. i'm not pulling my boat, but if pop gets the motor alarm prob worked out i should be able to pull his while he's at work sat. he just had the alarm sounding the other day, so he's checking into that. 1st prob he's ever had with that '85model. i'll post again closer to the date to get some details on where to find ya.

The airlines will not refund my money so I will be there. I guess it will be the three of us. Ebb can you email me at ralgoetz@comcast.net. I would like to get your cell phone number and I can give you mine. I dont know if we will be able to get a signal out there. I plan on renting a small boat out there so maybe we can fish there when you and papa are there.

Re: 2ND. Annual iboats members get together

well, arrowhead resort got some nasty weather. i finally got in touch with them, and their power is out. the nearby town, Spring City, is flooded 3' in places... they said the lake was alittle out of the banks. <br /><br />
In eastern Tennessee, rushing water from Piney Creek cascaded through Spring City, breaking out storefront windows, carrying away merchandise and leaving behind a muck of mud and debris.<br /><br />Mayor Mary Sue Garrison said a Coke machine also went floating down the street. "It was just really, really terrible," said Garrison, wearing a yellow rain slicker as she walked through the town.<br /><br />Business owners were spending the morning shoveling the soggy mess out of their establishments.<br /><br />Dillard says the remnants of Hurricane Ivan did a lot of damage in Jackson County. <br /> <br />"It's a complete disaster area," Officer B.J. Neal said. "We've had homes completely destroyed. We've had homes washed in the lakes."<br /><br />Garrison said gauges in the town, home to about 2,000 people, showed 8 1/2 inches of rainfall since Thursday. No serious injuries were reported.<br />

Sorry guys, the weather kept me home this weekend. Actually had the boat ready to go, but woke up this morning and there was flooding all over. :( <br /><br />I need to check the weather a bit more often because the sucker is soaked from where I had it uncovered.

Re: 2ND. Annual iboats members get together

Wish I coulda made it. I could be there in about 3 hours, but we are in the process of selling our house to buy a larger one and it has consumed much of my time. It doesn't help my stress level that my favorite boat is 2 hours away (the other direction from the get-together since the re agent wanted us to clear the yard as much as possible....
