Rick, Mark, CULATER, & others - Earthwerks ( Dan Davies ) has made a very generous offer to make his 38 Fountain center console available. See post number 86. It is a great boat if some of you guys want to get together on it. There is no reason for anyone to miss the run.
I can normally take several of you but with family in the area am full.![Big Grin](/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Is anyone else worried about the wind direction and speed for Tuesday? Weather.com is saying that the winds are going to be 20 mph out of the NNW. The seas might be a little big......

Nope. See attached US Navy site for wave heights and wind direction New Years Day. Do you trust your government ? Wait, better not answer that. LOL
I think we will be fine Rick but will continue to keep our eye on it.

I was at the launch site Fri. What a cluster! Would have made good video. If it's gonna be crazy, I guess the cape yacht club is an option. It's just that darn miserable mile slow zone.
Water was bumpy. If it's like that tues, will be rough for back seat passengers. If it's like it was Sat, will be fun. If rain and wind become a factor is there a plan B?

Sometimes (rarely around here ) mother nature is just not kind and has the upper hand. Plan B is to leave the boats at home and those that can and are willing, drive to the Guy Harvey's where we will have lunch and a party.![Cool Smiley 026](/forums/images/smilies/cool-smiley-026.gif)

in the craziness that has been my life for the last 2 weeks(with the boatwork and all), I think thats just what I will do, come by land, and have a good time. This will give me time to enjoy my new years eve, and relax with y'all before returning to work on Wednesday. See the other post about tyeing up, I will gladly be a dockhand, just let me know what time y'all will be arriving.

Bob, Thanks For The Offer. I May Head Out To The Causway Just To See You Guys Off. I Will Definitly Plan On Attending The Next Function. I'd Like To Meet Up With Some Of The Locals Sometime. I Was Out For Just A Cruise On Sat And Saw A Lot Of Hardward Running Up The River. We Definitly Have Some Of The Best Boating Arround.
