I will however see if I can find you'all and wade over to say hi. If the weather permits, I'll probably be over to Tice's with wife & daughter on jetskis.
CHEERS!

What a perfect day. The first time I went out in the V-20 and didn't go fishing. I would say their must have been two hundred or more boats that I saw while I was looking for the V-20 raft up. WOW I never seen that many boats with people having a party!
Then I heard Capt Pete on 68 saying over here Tommy so I headed over to join in. It was great to share company with them,I meet Rob his family and dog Newfey such a nice family with well behaved children. At that time there were only three V-20's. A little later the Barnegat V-20 George and his dad showed up it was the first time for meeting them too I must say his dad did a good job raising him he has his head in the right direction. Just as I thought no more V's were coming Ken and his wife came over to join us ,another nice couple with his [ show room condition ] V-20.
My thanks to Capt Pete for introducing me to these people and sharing time with us.

I got a couple


I had a great time with everyone. I ended up going solo. My wife didn't want to be in the boat after our trip across the Delaware bay the day before. But that is another story. Rob showed up first. Then I showed up shortly after. My brother stopped by for a little while. Then Tommy(step up here) showed up. Lumber made a visit in an inflatable with his brother. Later on George(barnegat v20) stopped by. And finally lumber got his boat over our way. It was really great to hang out and talk v20 with everybody. As usual I had the grill going making burgers,dogs,and even some tuna,thanks Rob,good stuff.So were the boiled peanuts. The weather actually turned out to be great.

There were several hundred boats around so of course the scenery was great also.




So Destroyer what happened this time? Just wondering.
