2012 Masshole raft up - MJ V20 tribute

[macojoe]

I don't know what the tides are at that time but we have a nice ride thur the canal and Cpe Cod bay and go to Barnstable Harbor, sand bar at low tide is great! Also some good fishing out around there. Could even launch out of Sandwich for that matter??

So what is up?

If we cannot find a "raft up" place, maybe we can do a "belly up place" (for those of us that still have bellies).

Plus it might be a better way to meet and greet everyone, Also, If I am late coming back from my trip, it might be easier for me to make it.

(btw, love that clip "Peter Falk in Athol MA", haven't herd that in years. That was a classic, loved bcn back in the day...

I'll second MJ's suggestion. So it's a plan, right?

[chumbucket]

Still in here!!!!!

[macojoe]

as far as i know its a go!! just need a place to raft up at?? got to look at tides to see were will be best.

[macojoe]

Its at 1:30 in the afternoon for the stony, basset area, 12:30 Barnstable Harbor

MJ and everybody else... How about we sell tickets... Includes a tee shirt, cap , or something else?

My experience is that people will say yeah I'll be there but won't show. Put $25 down and they will be there.

Any place where we can go and bring a couple of propane burners and boil some lobsters and clams and corn at a raft up. Price of admission could include a shore dinner???

Just trowing it out to encourage participation.

BTW, I seen on the classicseacraft board that they were pondering a raft up in Barstable Harbor Mid-August with marginal interest. I know we have some connections there, what about a multi-forum get together?

[Road King Cole]

Again, I am only tentative. If we have weather delays riding the bike back from smokie mountains, I might not make it. So if you sell tickets I may just crash the party and eat bolonga sandwiches...

Just hope we all decide on a plan so I will know what is happening before we leave.

Also, in case the weather for the raft up does not cooperate, maybe we should have the belly up planned as a second option?

Speaking of shirts...

MJ, do you think my shirt and sweatshirt is still around?

No reason to make it more difficult then it has to be. Them who come great, them who don't to bad for them.
We can all decide when it gets closer what food we want to bring, just some dogs and burgers would be easy for everyone.
I am also ok with the idea of going some place if the weather is crappy,

As for teaming up with another site, this is are first time, and a Wellcraft thing, we don't know anyone there, I like the way this board gets along and am not to keene on the idea of having a bunch of guys we don't know join here, or hang with. We all know each other here be it internet, or person.

I agree, I am bad enough with names\faces in a small group...
