I was told the same as the last run. Pretty much

[apppedigree]

I am trying to get a map with everything marked for you guys. I have to provide to LE as well.

However, it is just like your run. Same path, but maybe different order for locations.

[PURPLE HORNET]

I don't even know where the fun run path is ::slaps Are the boats leaving from midtown. Thanks for the help

[apppedigree]

Really I thought the information was out there . Hornet do you live on the lake? I live over by Littles Creek Landing. There a good spot in the s-curve to watch:1bounce

[PURPLE HORNET]

I don't live on the lake but thats mostly the only lake I go on. I do know where littles creek landing is.

[vagrant]

If you know were littles is there is a small bouyed sand bar on your right if you head to littles. I would anchor close to the sandbar and watch right there.

[PURPLE HORNET]

:captain: Thanks good info

[socalstone]

Sounds like a good spot. What marker is that near?

[vagrant]

Looking on my Lake Norman map from West Marine the closest marker is "M1"The sand bar is marked with 3 floating markers. That should be a awesome place and safe.

[pantera24]

i was thinking out in front of governors island -- that way you can see them come in fast and make that nice sweeping turn at speed....

[socalstone]

Yeah that would work too.
We'll probably be out and about by 10 or 11.
Buzz me on my cell if you want to raft up.

Yes they should go by twice.

[PURPLE HORNET]

Looking at the map whats the closest number to governors island. I know most of the islands just not the names :slaps

Thanks for the help

[apppedigree]

I think that the lunch boat stop is supposed to be back in the hole behind the islands at the "s" turn. My be a good place to take some pics.

Looking on my West Marine map North bound starboard side Marker 5 Port side Marker 6, 4a and 4. Not sure if that would be a good location Shoal markers at 6 starboard side and marker 5 port side. This is with a heading of North bound.

[pantera24]

Hey Mark, how's the new boat?

Hi David,

its been a good summer -- out every weekend and running strong... just a tad bit slower than the pantera -- but a whole lot more room!

you need to get yours out there on the lake!

;-)

[pantera24]

Yes they should go by twice.

I was just thinking it was a good spot to see them go by at speed -- :ev1l danc

[X-driver]

Yo Purlpe Hornet- There is a big orange plastic marker sitting down in front of the damn area. It was placed there today so......I'm guessing that is one of the card stops. I

PS I don't know why PRA is keeping the stops top secret...... it's not like you can't see the markers from miles away.

I hope I don't get sued for posting this info.

[MIKES280]

Ok You Need To Go And Get Some Pics

[X-driver]

I'll walk up the road later on and take a pix!

[X-driver]

Here is the top secret marker-

[MIKES280]

[X-driver]

We went down to Midtown tonight and walked the docks looking at the boats. There is some REALLY nice hardware in town but we didn't bring the camera. Hopefully, we'll get some pixs on Saturday.

[MIKES280]

The orange markers is from Lake Norman yaht clud, They are having a regatta (sailboat race) the markers are for the course.

[Bad Company]

Was out at Midtown all day yesterday helping give kids rides rode with Brent on his 38 Powerqueist had a blast with the kids seeing the smiles. Stayed for the acution pretty good time. Hey Mike i have lots of pic will post them later. Tj I wore my Boatfreaks shirt with pride
lol

[X-driver]

Ooops, I never saw the sailboats out! I hope everyone is safe and has a good time today! Should be a nice day for it.

:wtff It does not get any safer for me. I put in at 5 pm on Friday and the boat would not start. :bullchit No fire i worked on it for 1 1/2 hours the best I could with a screwdriver and a adjustable wrench and changed every fuse. And pulled every connection apart and reconnected. I think maybe the msd box jumped ship :smilie_daumenneg:

This is the first time I left the lake with 50 gallons of fuel still in the boat and a cooler full of beer. I just started it sunday on ear muffs

[socalstone]

Sorry to hear your boat wouldn't start.
-aside from the weather, I would say you didn't miss much.
Watching the run was ok.
Coolest part, was that the number of performance boats running around on the lake (outside the run).

Big negative for the day was the sheer quantity of blow boats out there. - I've never seen so many sailboats in my entire life!
Didn't know that many existed on LKN. Hundreds for sure, thousands possibly?
